AERIE OF SERENITY
Where the rainforest meets the sea
Perched gracefully above ancient rainforest and protected mangroves, our villas seem to float amidst the treetops, each a private haven suspended between emerald canopies and the turquoise expanse of the South China Sea. On clear days, some unfold views of Mount Kinabalu, its majestic silhouette rising like a silent guardian on the horizon.
A conservation fee of MYR35 on the first night of stay and an additional MYR25 for each day thereof is applied to each guest, including children, for every night of stay by Sabah Parks, an organisation set up as the caretaker of Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park.
The conservation fee is contributed to Sabah Parks in support of their effort towards preserving the rich ecosystem of the region.
BAYU VILLAS
Nestled on a tranquil hillside amidst lush rainforest, the Bayu Villa offers a peaceful sanctuary where soft winds drift through the treetops, carrying the earthy scent of the island. Leafy vistas unfold from your window, ranging from rainforest canopy to mystical mangroves. Inside, contemporary elegance meets Sabahan warmth, with natural materials that invite quiet repose.
For families, connecting villas create a seamless haven. Here, amidst whispering leaves, you will find not just a room, but a gentle embrace from the island itself.
CANOPY VILLAS
Tucked within a tropical mangrove on a gently sloping hillside, the Canopy Villa offers beautiful views where land and water intertwine in quiet harmony. Steps lead down to the resort’s pristine sandy beach, while select villas are conveniently nestled closer to the main facilities, offering effortless access while still cocooned in nature’s embrace.
Whether lulled to sleep by the rustle of mangroves or waking to sunrise over the bay, the Canopy Villa is your doorway to the island’s tranquil rhythm.
KINABALU VILLAS
Perched in the resort’s most coveted position, the Kinabalu Villa offers views that inspire awe. Gaze across the turquoise South China Sea, and on clear days, witness the majestic silhouette of Mount Kinabalu rising on the horizon, a silent companion that transforms each moment into a memory waiting to be made.
These are the finest views in the resort, where sunrises paint the sky in gold and evenings fade over distant waters.
For families, connecting villas offer a seamless haven where generations can gather, each retreat maintaining its own sense of peaceful seclusion.
SURIA SUITE
The Suria Suite stands as the crowning jewel of Gaya Island Resort—a magnificent two-bedroom sanctuary where luxury knows no bounds and the sea reveals itself in ever-changing splendour. Here, on a tranquil hillside embraced by tropical greenery, the finest accommodation awaits those who seek the extraordinary.
Step inside to discover gracious living and dining spaces, where contemporary elegance harmonises with Sabahan warmth. A well-appointed pantry leads onto an expansive outdoor deck, perfect for sunset cocktails as the sea breeze dances through the palms. Above, two spacious bedrooms each offer their own en-suite sanctuary, ensuring privacy and repose for all. Yet the crowning glory lies beyond the master balcony—a decadent outdoor bath where you can soak in blissful solitude, surrounded by uninterrupted views of the turquoise South China Sea
