Handcrafted villas with handsome touches in a secluded bay.

Tucked away into a terraced hillside, the villas of Bungaraya Island Resort offer a luxurious island escape a short boat ride from Kota Kinabalu.

All villas have private balconies, many looking out to the South China Sea. Local textiles are used for subtle decoration and decadent touches such as BOSE music systems and Egyptian cotton sheets are present in every villa. As the villas are spread out along a hillside, some are quite far from the beach and amenities of the main building. For those who don't wish to walk, staff provide buggy service at any hour upon request.

Superior Villas are quite spacious and comfortable for two adults. Deluxe Villas are comprised of two buildings: a main unit similar to a Superior Villa, and a smaller unit housing a lounge room with television and surround sound. Extra beds can be added making this a good choice for small families. For couples, we love the Plunge Pool Villas. These have sun loungers and a sea-facing balcony beside a private plunge pool. There are two Treehouse Villas tucked away in the jungle, one with a plunge pool and the other an outdoor Jacuzzi tub. For families with older children, we suggest a Two Bedroom Deluxe Suite with its incredibly large shared balcony where everyone can gather. One luxurious Three Bedroom Deluxe Suite sits atop the hill. This private villa has a wrap-around deck and plunge pool. Please note that a maximum of six adults can occupy the three-bedroom villa.

For those wanting the ultimate private escape, the Royal Villa is a two-bedroom villa set apart from the resort. It's equipped with a full kitchen, living and dining areas, and an outdoor grill. An infinity pool and a private beach are also part of the rental as is a designated butler and chef.

Echo Wellness Spa is built into the jungle so well that one of the outdoor showers incorporates a large boulder. The treatment buildings are luxuriously appointed and a full range of services is available. Pantai Grill & Bar serves fresh seafood and international cuisine along the beach while the Longhouse provides contemporary cuisine and is home to one of the largest wine selections in the region.

Snorkeling and kayaking are both available just off the beach. Guided jungle walks can be arranged as well as walks to a zipline. Diving and snorkeling trips can be organized.
