Facing the seafront in Kota Belud, Bigfin beach resort features a private beach area. Offering a restaurant, the property also has a garden. The property provides sea views and a terrace.

Guests at Bigfin beach resort can enjoy scuba diving, snorkelling, and kayaking while other on-site activities includes hiking or simply lounging by the beach. Feels like a hidden gem and private paradise. Great dive shop with charismatic guides, nice boat, sufficient equipment. Great to wake up to a view of Mt Kinabalu and all the food was really lovely home cooking and tasted great. It felt like living in a little community for a couple of days :)

Timba Garden FREE TOWN AND JETTY TRANSPORT has a garden, shared lounge, a restaurant and bar in Semporna. Featuring an outdoor swimming pool, the 5-star resort has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. There is free private parking and the property offers paid airport shuttle service. Great stay in general! The rooms were nice and had plenty of space, and the place is really charming too, but what really shines is the great attention provided by the hosts. Chai, Nani and Asphal helped us with every one of out needs and even last minute requests worked out perfectly. The meals they cooked for us were probably the bests we had during out whole time in Borneo and the shuttle service to the Jetty in Semporna came in very handy and made staying away from the town (which I highly recommend) feel like not a problem at all. I will also leave a special thank for letting me and my wife be part of their Hari Raya celebrations. Whenever we are back in Borneo, we’ll definitely stay there again!
