Shangri-La's Rasa Ria Resort is set on Pantai Dalit Beach surrounded by 400 acres of lush vegetation, part of which is nature reserve. Here you'll meet the state of Sabah's icon - the fascinating orangutan. And perhaps peacocks walking by at breakfast or the occasional iguana as it crosses your path in this remarkable resort.
90 of 420 sophisticated rooms form the Ocean Wing (there's one other wing). All Premier Rooms, each 90 square metres comes with an outdoor bathtub on a balcony overlooking the vast sea. Soft earthy tones and intricately carved panels seem to support a sense of peace in these surroundings. Breakfasts at the dazzling award-winning Coast are exclusively reserved for those staying in the Ocean Wing.
One of the hippest restaurants in the South China Sea, its center piece marine themed raised bar stand beneath set of shimmering, fibre optic jellyfish chandeliers. It's almost enough to distract the eye from the sunset. The restaurant also offers three private thatched gazebos for a memorable beachside dining experience.
The resort offers many opportunities to experience the unique natural wonders of Borneo, including those at the Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, the only one of its kind in the region.
