About the hotel

Experience a five-star escape in Malaysia’s tropical Borneo with this glamorous Shangri-La stay. An untouched oasis set among 400 acres of beachfront rainforest, the resort is the perfect escape from city life, complete with a three-kilometre stretch of private golden sands.

With extensive spa facilities and a sprawling golf course, along with a kids’ club and babysitting services to occupy younger adventurers, there’s a reason Shangri-La Rasa Ria has consistently been voted Malaysia’s top family-friendly resort.

Spend your days relaxing by two shimmering swimming pools, perfecting your swing at the resort’s 18-hole championship golf course, practicing yoga or getting a sweat on with a round of tennis – it’s all included.

Refuel at one of the onsite eateries – enjoying mouthwatering Chinese fare at The Eighth, Southeast Asian specialities at Tepi Laut and Japanese favourites at Kozan Teppan-yaki – or savour moments of quiet serenity at The Spa.
