Gaya Island Resort - Small Luxury Hotels of the World, hotel in Gaya Island

Set within the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park off the coast of Borneo, Gaya Island offers elegant villas with panoramic views of the South China Sea and the rainforest.

Extremely kind and accommodating staff. Worked with us from check-in to check-out to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Breakfast buffet was incredible with numerous options of both local and international dishes. We liked the pool bar Happy Hour and lunch menu. Great for families. Also, the room was quiet, clean, and comfortable. The shower was hot and we had everything we needed. We had two adjoining rooms which was very convenient for our family.

    The staff are exceptional. The variety of food is amazing.

    The staff are exceptional. The variety of food is amazing. Facilities were in good condition and easily accessible. I expected we may be able to hike a few trails on the island but this was not possible. It surprised me for such a relaxed place that you needed more formal attire (trousers, closed shoes and collared shirt for) for one of the restaurants. We weren’t prepared for that. Sunset cruise was brief but great

    We had an incredible stay here.

    We had an incredible stay here. The island team go to great lengths to make sure their guests are well looked after. At dinner the chef came out to say hello and wish us a happy anniversary! Wow! Our room - should I say house? - was amazing. Beautifully and thoughtfully decorated, turn down service at night, great food, gorgeous settings and the nicest staff team ever. Highly recommended!

    A beautiful island the hotel was a high standard but food...

    A beautiful island the hotel was a high standard but food and drinks are very pricey. we were transferred by a shuttle boat which took 10 minutes it was included in the cost of our booking but we heard other people say they were not aware of the extra costs. our villa was at the top of a steep hill with amazing views. and was a beautiful villa there was nothing on their website saying about steep hills and steps so be aware when you book . this would not put me off from going again we would definately return! snorkeling was amazing with lots of fish. we also went to the private beach which was stunning. we ate in the restaurant for a buffet evening meal there were lots of choice and lovely fresh hot food the staff were very friendly and could not do enough for you and so helpful a wonderful place to stay.

    Only a 10-minute boat ride to Gaya island resort but felt really removed from the hustle and bustle of the city! The hotel is beautiful, surrounded by trees and the sea with lots to see and to do. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We particularly enjoyed speaking with the naturalists, they are very knowledgeable and passionate about the jungle, animals and the environment!

    The location is amazing, the staff is very friendly and the spa treatments are really good. But that’s about it, the rest is a disaster, incredibly expensive and NOT a 5-star hotel. I went there to relax for a few days, it was impossible to relax anywhere.

    The hotel is located on a private island, where you feel the jungle and can enjoy the proximity to nature. The island is full of the wild species that you can hardly see anywhere else.
