Paradise on earth
...it does exist!
A vibrant tuft of rainforest erupting from tropical aquamarine, Gaya Island is a stunning coral outcrop just 40 minutes from Kota Kinabalu, on Borneo’s north coast. Richly eco-diverse, it’s one of five islands comprising the Tunku Abdul Rahman NP.
Gaya’s forest is home to long-tailed macaques, hornbills & monitor lizards, while its coastal waters safely harbour 7 of the world’s 8 Giant Clam species, amidst a profusion of colourful reef-life. In addition to the sumptuous Bunga Raya, Gayana Eco Resort and the Gaya Island Resort, the island offers fabulous diving, snorkelling, swimming, and - somewhat unusually, amongst Borneo’s proliferation of tiny tropical islets - several inland trails, through both rainforest and mangrove swampland.
