Shangri-La that never disappoint you🥇
#hotelreview
Other than Shangri-La Tanjung Aru and Spa that located near to the city of Kota Kinabalu, do you know there’s another 1 resort under the same group located in Tuaran which is 1 hour driving distance away?
Yessss, this is Rasa Ria Resort and Spa!!!!
If you are looking for a private resort and private beach for guests only, not planning to go out at all (chill at the resort) then I will high recommend Rasa Ria over Tanjung Aru Resort to you !!!
Departing from KK, complimentary shuttle bus will be provided by this resort (to from Jesselton Mall and Imago Shopping mall). Just remember to reserve a seat in advanced and be there on time to get the bus driver to pick you up!! Alternatively, if you do not like to follow the fix schedule, grab will be 1 of the option for you to go there.
Recommended activity:
1. Summit breakfast - hike to the top of the reserved forest the early morning to enjoy the sunrise while having breakfast (reservation needed)

🥡 Dine & Wine at The Eighth
#wecreate
📍 Location:
The Eighth is a restaurant that serves authentic Chinese dishes in Shangri-La Rasa Ria Resort.
The Chinese food here is very palatable and seasoning is on point.
⭐ My favourite dishes:
1. Wok Fried Vegetables
with Mushroom served
in Yam Ring (MYR 58) - yam was so soft, outside crust crispy, very nicely done!
2. Crispy Chicken with Mangoes (MYR 58)
3. Paku Salad with Black Fungus (MYR 38)
4. Double Boiled Fish Maw Coconut Chicken Soup (MYR 38)
👍 Rating: 10/10!
Overall it was a nice dining experience in The Eighth. The dishes served were superior and you can taste the quality out of every bite.
The chefs are nice enough to accomodate some dishes for vegans & people with seafood allergies in our group too.
If you ever visit the Shangri-La Rasa Ria resort, it's is totally worth it to dine at The Eighth.

Weekend Getaway - Shangri-la Rasa Ria
Celebrate my mom's Birthday at this Resort, kudos to the housekeeping team who decorated the bed with flowers petals and leaves and we even welcome by a plate of delicious macaroons and a pack of local fried fruit.
The room we booked was Garden Wing with Ocean View. Spacious and clean room, love the bathtub in toilet we could enjoy bubble bath anytime.
There is a big sofa facing to the balcony I could just lye there and watching the beautiful beach and blue sky the whole day, so relaxing and chill to escape from busy town. Not to forget their buffet breakfast at Coffee Terrace Restaurant. I was so delighted to try their International foods and every dish is superb delicious.
We stay during CMCO period and they have a special promotion which is early check in and late check out with special rate. This is a really good deal!

A Great Escape at Shangri-La Rasa Ria, Sabah.
I am based in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah and this is my 3rd staycation in this fantastic resort. This resort is about 40 mins drive from KK Town and I dropped by Kg Salut to get my favourite coconut pudding. There are basically all stalls selling the same coconut pudding but Gerai Sudi Mampir is highly recommended.
I stayed at Ocean Wing Junior Suite Sea View King Room this time and the sea view was amazing! The room is spacious and comes with a big bathtub at the balcony (which could occupy 2 to 3 adults). There was nothing better in life than soaking myself in an oversized bathtub with a sea view!
I must say that Sabah has one of the world’s best sunsets and this resort has the best spot for sunset watching! No joke.
Apart from sunset, I also woke up at 5am for a sunrise hime at Rasa Ria Reserve. It was about 20mins hike to the peak and the sunrise view was breathtaking with a spectacular beachfront view and tropical forest.
Lastly, not forget to mention that the Resort was serving ala carte breakfast menu and semi buffet. The foods were great and the staff services were efficient and attentive.
Overall a wonderful resort to escape from busy work life!! #staycation #beachlife

Is Shangri-La Rasa Ria worth a visit ?
We had a wonderful staycation at Shangri-La Rasa Ria recently. The suite was awesome! The outdoor bathtub and the breathtaking sea view were the highlight of the stay.
This fantastic resort has two wings, Garden Wing and Ocean Wing. Stayed at the ocean wing and it was very peaceful and enjoyable. A lot of activities can be done here. For the adventurous, try horse riding and do explore Dalit Bay Forest Reserve nearby. Not to forget teeing off at an award winning Dalit Bay Golf Club.
Nature themed activities and the surroundings make us appreciate nature more. A very good place to experience how nature and development can co exist.
Will I come back? Yes. Highly recommended but do expect technical glitch or human error whenever the occupancy rate is high. that’s normal.

Shangri-La's Rasa Ria Resort in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah is definitely the best resort hotel in the area. Although it is not in the city, it has a seaside, a very private holiday environment, and a three-kilometer private beach with 18 holes. Golf course, there are more orangutan sanctuaries. Staying here, you can say that you don't have to go to any attractions, you can play for a few days at the hotel. The
Rasa Riya Hotel has two types of rooms, the Ocean Wing and the Garden Wing. The Ocean Wing Sea View Room has an exclusive lobby, breakfast room and large swimming pool. It is a place for guests to create privacy. No wonder it will be deeply loved by Hong Kong stars. favorite. 90-flat oversized guest rooms, one-of-a-kind facilities, and a balcony with a large bathtub are definitely a great place to enjoy your holiday.

Every corner of the hotel is filled with the atmosphere of a holiday, facing the sea, spring blossoms.
If you are interested, you can also play golf and show your skills.
The intimate hotel offers a variety of sunscreens and thirst-quenching ice drinks for free.
Sabah Shangri-La's La Sharia Resort has 4 swimming pools, each with its own characteristics.
Five-star environment, five-star service, this trip is really worth the money.
The hotel in the evening is the most beautiful, the sun is not too glaring, everything is just in good condition.
The days of vacation are not used, but are wasted, wasted on those wonderful things, such as music and beer, such as sunshine and reading, as well as daze and sleep in the afternoon.
The air filled with fragrance, revealing a slight sigh, with gentleness...

Going to the island, accommodation is also a beautiful scenery. When going on vacation, you must choose a good hotel to have the feeling of going abroad for a holiday. Shangri-La's Rasa Ria Resort is the most luxurious hotel in Kota Kinabalu, and its new ocean wing is over 90. The flat sea view rooms are the best in terms of privacy, comfort and luxury. The value for money is that the Ocean Wing pool and breakfast restaurant are only available to guests of the Ocean Wing. The hotel has the most Kota Kinabalu. The long private white sand beach and the most beautiful sea water, it also has its own golf course and zoo, the double Jacuzzi on the balcony, can be wrapped in a nightgown to enjoy the most beautiful sunset.

Shangri-La's La Saliya Resort's private beach brings together the world's finest colours, and at the glance, the most memorable memories are settled.
The hotel is also awarded the title of the most beautiful hotel in Sabah.
The hotel's beach is on the west side. You can't see the magnificent sunrise in the east, but you can harvest the sunset with red clouds.
The silhouette of the sunset, all shots are big.
The red sunset is accompanied by the sea breeze, and the endless sea is covered with golden waves.
Rotate, jump, lift your toes like a ballet, and set your good at this moment.

I am waiting in the breeze, every sunset in Saliya... Shangri-La's Rasa Resort, giving you a different experience of a new vacation. In the morning, accompanied by the insects and birds, they boarded the hotel's protected area, and they were lightly loaded, all the way to the "thorns". Under the guidance of the guide, they knew all kinds of animals and plants. When I came to the top of the mountain, I saw the tables and chairs placed in the woods, the carefully prepared food on the tables and chairs, and the fullest expectations were met. I used to eat in a natural environment, but the food is not exquisite. This time the breakfast may be the most memorable breakfast in my life. While enjoying a delicious breakfast in the forest oxygen bar, while waiting for the red sun in the east, slowly rising from the mountain, the macaws on the tree beside it whispered, the breeze on the beach blew across the table corner, wandering with the tablecloth

Shangri-La hidden between the jungle and the ocean
Traveling for many years,
I've been wasting time doing nothing.
That's the state a vacation should be in.
The trip to Sabah led me to a hotel I really like.
The Shangri-La's Rasa Ria Resort draws inspiration from the rich ethnic charm of Sabah,
connecting to the natural wilderness of Borneo.
Here, you might do nothing at all,
the hotel itself is a scenery.
There are many wonderful sights to explore,
without stepping out,
lying in the hotel, you can enjoy extraordinary leisure.
The hotel also boasts a 3-kilometer stretch of fine white sandy beach,
with delicate sand, tranquil and elegant.
Walking along the beach, basking in the sunlight,
feeling the breeze,
that's the tenderness a vacation should have.
As night falls,
you can also see one of the world's TOP 3 stunning sunsets.
For those who love food, you can enjoy a feast at the Shangri-La's Rasa Ria Resort,
traditional Malay flavors, exquisite Japanese cuisine, or modern barbecue and oriental food,
all can satisfy your taste buds.
Travel Tips✈️:
📷: The pool, spa, and beach are great spots for taking pictures, be sure to bring colorful dresses for beautiful photos~
🏖️: The rooms are divided into the Garden Wing and the Ocean Wing, the Garden Wing mainly offers tropical scenery, while the Ocean Wing offers romantic sea views, each with its own characteristics, and the rooms have large balconies, where you can lie down and watch the sunset~
🚶: Families traveling with children can choose to sign up for special parent-child activities, golf and jungle adventures are good choices, very suitable for coming here to learn and study knowledge~

Amazing Views at Shangri-la Rasa Ria
#winhkflight
This is ShangriLa Rasa Ria Resort, located at Dalit Beach, roughly 30 minutes drive away from Kota Kinabalu City Centre.
It's one of my Top 5 favourite resorts to ever visit, and every visit just tops the previous experience. There are many free activities to keep you busy throughout the day, and an amazing selection of restaurants & bars. The sunset is always 10/10 magnificent!

Rasa Ria Resort: Perfect for family vacation
During our visit to Rasa Ria for our 2nd wedding anniversary, I was astonished by the room decorations my husband planned with the resort. Even though we booked a deluxe room, it was spacious.
We had a smooth check-in process and received welcome drinks. If you're bringing kids, it's a good idea to drop them off and your luggage in the lobby since the parking area was a bit far from the main lobby.
The resort is kid-friendly and offers numerous activities, particularly if you're looking for a nature reserve adventure.
The private beach that was 3km long and about half a km wide was absolutely stunning! There will be ample beachfrontage for each and every resort guest to enjoy.
At the resort, you can find around 8 restaurants, lounges, and bars. If you're looking for a cheaper option for Chinese cuisine, try Gayang Seafood Restaurant, which is located 6-10 minutes from Rasa Ria. To avoid overcrowding during the weekend, reservations are necessary from Friday to Sunday.

Magnificent Sunset at Shangri-la Rasa Ria
#cny2024
Celebrating Chinese New Year 2024 at Shangri-la Rasa Ria, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah!
This is one of the most magnificent sunsets I have every seen. Rasa Ria offers a stunning 3km white sandy beach with very fine sand. It feels like a soft foot massage when you stroll all the way from the resort to the ocean.
The beach is private and exclusive to Shangri-la's guests only, making it a wonderful place to relax and rejuvenate.

Borneo Cottoncandy Sunset!
#2024wish Amazing sunset in Borneo. This is captured from Kota Kinabalu Shangri-La Rasa Ria Resort beach front. It is only a short walk if your room is on the Garden side of the hotel. Order coconut juice to unwind and seat at their beach seating area. They also often have beach activities such as volleyball at a scheduled time. Be sure to check the activities timing. Definitely worth the stay and spending time lazing around until sunset 😍#kotakinabalu #borneosunset #beachholiday #sabah

Shangri-La's Rasa Ria Resort, located on the white sands of Dali Bay in Kota Kinabalu City, is backed by verdant hills and faces the open beach. Surrounded by 400 acres of tropical rainforest, it is far from the hustle and bustle of the city. The airport is about an hour's drive from the hotel. Shangri-La's Rasa Ria Resort, enjoys the sea, the beach, the golf, the forest, just like a retreat. The hotel rooms are divided into two large areas, one is the ocean wing and the other is the garden wing. The price of the ocean wing is more expensive than the garden wing. Of course, the configuration of the room and the service and enjoyment are also different. The rooms of the ocean wing are all different. Sea view room with oversized ocean view balcony and private outdoor bath with separate pool and dining room.
