Gaya Island is a hidden paradise located in the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, just off the coast of Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia.

Offering a pristine environment with lush rainforests, vibrant coral reefs, and crystal-clear waters, one of the highlights of a Gaya Island holiday is exploring the island's lush interior. Guided jungle treks take you through dense forests where you can encounter unique flora and fauna. Keep an eye out for macaques, monitor lizards, and a rich variety of bird species.

It's an eco-friendly resort, which means you can enjoy modern amenities while being surrounded by the beauty of the rainforest. The spa and wellness facilities provide a perfect place to unwind and relax.

The island is also a centre for cultural experiences. You can visit the nearby Bajau Laut water village, where you can learn about the traditional seafaring lifestyle of the local communities. Participating in local craft workshops and cultural performances can give you a deeper understanding of the region's heritage.
