Location
The Kota Kinabalu International Airport is located some 10 minutes away from the state capital of Sabah. The second busiest airport in Malaysia, the airport is a hub for many international and domestic arrivals, including flights from Brunei, Singapore, Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh (Vietnam), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Metro Manila (Philippines), and several other cities around the region. A quick drive from the airport will take you to the Jesselton Point Ferry Terminal, and from there, it's just a matter of hopping on the next boat out to Gayana Eco Resort. Airport and ferry terminal transfers can be easily arranged through the resort.
Lagoon Villa
A comfortable terrace at the Lagoon Villa offers a breathtaking view of the Gayana Eco Resort, made more spectacular as night approaches when the island's huts and villas are illuminated in unison. Marvel at the soothing sight of a tranquil sea dotted by lush tropical islands, and perhaps even see a glimpse of Sabah's iconic Mount Kinabalu as it looms off in the horizon.

PADI Dive Centre
The crystalline waters of Borneo are conceal magnificent coral reefs, homes of an incredible variety of colourful aquatic plants and animals that have made it one of the most unique dive meccas in the world. Gayana's PADI Certified Dive Centre allows divers of all skill levels to experience these underwater marvels, such as sea turtles, clownfish, coral fish, whale sharks, and many more vibrant species of marine life.
A license is not required to dive at Gayana as our specially-trained PADI certified instructors will make sure to lead you by the hand. Novice divers are first taken for a briefing and training session at the resort's divng pool before they explore the underwater realm of the big blue sea. The island's privacy also guarantees that guests will have an exclusive and uncluttered diving experience, as most of the area is closed to the general public.
Activities
Have a fun yet tranquil day at Gayana. Kayak through emerald waters. Explore awe-inspiring mangroves. Catch a sight of Hornbills perched on century old trees. Trek through thick jungles bursting with butterflies, birds, cicadas, and endless flora. Dive into ocean treasures or sunbathe afloat its waters as you smile at happy seahorses, and gigantic clams. Whatever you choose, allow us to keep you entertained.
