The Location – Beachfront beauty in tropical Borneo
The resort is nestled in the coastal city of Kota Kinabalu between the South China Sea and the majestic Mount Kinabalu. Overlooking lush tropical islands, it’s perfectly located to enjoy both the restaurants, culture and night life of Kota Kinabalu as well as the unspoilt beauty of the rainforest.
The Hotel – 384 acres of five-star facilities
The Magellan Sutera Resort is part of the 384-acre Sutera Harbour Resort complex, which is also home to The Pacific Sutera Hotel and the Sutera Harbour Marina, Golf and Country Club – and the best part is, you’ll be able to enjoy the exceptional facilities at all three properties.
Take a cooling dip in the Olympic-sized lap pool or free-form pools fringed with lush greenery, scented flowers and palm trees, sunbathe on the white sands of the resort’s private beach, play a round of golf at the 27-hole championship course, go bowling at the 10-pin bowling centre, or simply sit and watch the sunset with a cocktail in hand… your hardest decision will be what to do next!
