Shangri La's Tanjung Aru Resort and Spa, Kota Kinabalu

Shangri-La’s Tanjung Aru Resort and Spa is in Kota Kinabalu on the northern tip of the tropical island of Borneo in the Malaysian state of Sabah. It is just 10 minutes from both Kota Kinabalu International and the city centre. Its spa village is centred on eight private island villas, while the hotel’s guestrooms and suites have all been recently renovated, with decor inspired by traditional Borneo style. When you’re not luxuriating with a rejuvenating spa treatment, you can head to the pristine beach of large free form pools, head for a round at the nine-hole pitch and putt course or try some of the resort’s selection of watersports. Your tastebuds will be treated too, with seven bars and restaurants to choose from and plenty of fresh healthy options.
