Shangri-La Rasa Ria Resort, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia

Shangri-La Rasa Ria Resort is a 400-acre tropical setting beside exquisite Pantai Dalit Beach, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo.  Shangri-La's Rasa Ria Resort offers many opportunities to experience the unique natural wonders of Borneo, including a Nature Reserve with an Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre, the only one of its kind in the region.

Shangri-La's Rasa Ria Resort is a deluxe-class hotel located 42 kilometers from Kota Kinabalu International Airport on the island of Borneo which is part of Malaysia. This great property has a three-kilometer beach facing the South China Sea. The manicured gardens are beautifully landscaped offering a tropical burst of colors from the wide varieties of tropical flowers found in the gardens. An excellent 18- hole championship golf course is available on site for holiday golfing. The hotel has five restaurants including Coast, the hottest restaurant this side of the South China Sea and three bars.

The hotel also offers a range of water sports, horse back riding, range of recreational activities and even a kid's club which takes care of children four to 12 years old. Guest rooms are furnished in warm tropical colors and a view of the South China Sea.

One of the reasons this resort is so popular with Australian families is that kids have the opportunity to meet an actual Orang Utan in a near-wild setting, a special experience all children enjoy. Older children may appreciate the opportunity to learn about and even help support the reserve's animal care efforts. The resort's nature reserve also offers short guided walks suitable for families.  A whole range of other activities are on offer for kids including:
