Malaysia Bungaraya Island Resort

Bungaraya Island Resort sits on the northern edge of Gaya Island within the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, just off the coast of Kota Kinabalu. Accessible only by boat, it is surrounded by protected rainforest and fronts a quiet, curved beach overlooking the South China Sea, where the resort focuses its conservation efforts both above and below the waterline.

What we love about Bungaraya Island Resort

Set on Gaya Island in the South China Sea, Bungaraya is surrounded by primary rainforest and reached only by speedboat from Kota Kinabalu

Villas are built by hand from local timber and are spaced along a crescent-shaped beach with views across to the Bornean mainland

Morning walks in the surrounding jungle often reveal hornbills, macaques and flying squirrels in the treetops

Visit between March and September for the calmest sea conditions and excellent visibility for snorkelling off the jetty

The nearby PADI dive centre runs small-group trips to nearby coral reefs within the protected Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park
