Bungaraya Island Resort

Five-Star Gaya Island Beachfront Hideaway off the Coast of Borneo

Bungaraya Island Resort logo

Located just off the coast of Borneo’s Kota Kinabalu, Bungaraya Island Resort is a five-star secluded hideaway just steps from the white-sand beach of Gaya Island’s Polish Bay. Here, just 48 timber villas reflecting traditional Bornean architecture are nestled amid the lush greenery of a tropical jungle. Lounge by the sparkling infinity pool and take in views of the shimmering ocean beyond or visit the luxurious Echo Wellness Spa, where restorative treatments await. The alfresco The Longhouse Restaurant serves up traditional cuisine alongside a mix of local fare, while The Longhouse Wine Cellar is the perfect place to find your new favorite tipple.

Great service!
I have just returned from my first holiday where I was astounded by the value for money, so on my return I went straight back online to book my next break. Excellent service received from Joel S today when I needed to amend my second booking. Happy days!
