Fodor's Expert Review Gayana Eco Resort

Overlooking the China Sea, Gayana Eco Resort consists of 52 lush luxury villas set up over water on the island of Pulau Gaya, just off the coast of Borneo. This hideaway exudes elegance while ensuring the surrounding marine ecology is protected and regenerated through the efforts of the on-site Marine Ecology Research Centre. Guests balance their time among jungle trekking expeditions, kayaking adventures, soaking in the infinity pool, and indulging in top-notch treatments at the Solace Spa. Pantai Villas offer the lagoon view, which beautifully frames Mt. Kinabalu in the distant horizon. An added bonus comes with the Reef Regeneration Program, where guests are given the opportunity to replant coral and give back to Mother Nature.
