Gaya Island Resort - Old

Getting to Gaya Island is easy. Daily flights depart to Borneo’s Kota Kinabalu International Airport from all major Australian cities, typically with one stop along the way. Carriers providing this service include AirAisa, Malaysia Airlines and Cathay Pacific.

Flights to Borneo depart regularly from major gateways including Singapore (approx flight time of 2.5 hours), Hong Kong (approx flight time of 3.5 hours), Dubai (approx flight time of 10.5 hours) and Bangkok (approx flight time of 3 hours).

From the airport, please make your way to Jesselton Point Jetty. Located 9km away, it’s an easy cab journey (not included). From there, a complimentary boat transfer will take you to the resort, with a return boat trip also included in your escape.
