Bunga Raya Island Resort & Spa is a luxury island resort situated by a coral reef off the coast of Borneo, just a short boat ride from Kota Kinabalu.

This secluded Borneo island hideaway consists of just 47 timbered villas, tucked away on a tranquil and hidden bay framed by a crescent shaped white sand beach on one side and the centuries old virgin jungle on the other.

Villas at Bunga Raya Island Resort range from simple timbered dwellings, steps from the beach, to more opulent 3-bedroomed, multi-level units with wrap around decks and private plunge pools – ideal for those looking for a luxury family holiday to Borneo.

Bunga Raya’s private villas are rough-hewn and hand crafted by local tradesmen, terraced into the hillsides reflecting the traditional simplicity of the Borneo architectural style.

A dedicated hilltop spa blends the finest traditional Asian and Western treatments.

Villas are not enclosed but offer a lot of privacy because of the trees. The Villas’ private balconies offer great views of the beach below and the South China Sea beyond.

Bunga Raya Island Resort has a connection to MERC, the Marine Ecology Research Centre, which is doing great work in preserving the marine environment. A trip to the facility is a worthwhile morning’s visit.

The timber villas at Bunga Raya Island Resort are in keeping with the island environment and are minimally furnished – some may find the interiors a little sparse.

Bunga Raya Island Resort offers a high standard for Borneo and will suit those looking for a more low-key island escape with few distractions.
