Sabah, on the northernmost tip of Borneo, is a haven for adventure seekers and outdoor enthusiasts. From the frigid heights of Mount Kinabalu to the tropical rainforests and coastal coral reefs, there's more to see and do here than most tourists' itineraries can accommodate.
Children are always thrilled by Sabah’s wealth of wildlife, many species of which can be found in special rehabilitation centres that permit safe, up-close viewing. Leopards, elephants, apes and enormous flying squirrels are just a few of the animals children go home talking about. Local tour guides know just where to go for the best sightings.
For the most part, festivals and holidays in Sabah are in line with the rest of Malaysia. However, there are a few regional celebrations that you can only find here. Outstanding among these is the Pesta Kaamatan Festival, a traditional production held every May by the Dusun and Kadazan tribes in honour of the harvest—a great time to sample local dishes and take in some traditional dancing.
The state of Sabah boasts an impressive list of sightseeing options, most of which are centred on the breathtaking natural beauty of the countryside. While it’s possible to view some of these sites independently, the best sightseeing involves either joining a guided tour or hiring your own personal travel guide to arrange excursions for you.
Kota Kinabalu International Airport is the primary gateway into the province of Sabah. Regular flights depart for Singapore, Johor Bahru and Kuala Lumpur, though a roster of less frequent flights makes it possible to book travel farther abroad to places like Brunei, Hong Kong, Thailand, the Philippines and Macau.

Compared with other hotels in Peninsula, I felt that the hotel was a bit pricier. However the staff was outstanding. What I did not like was the quality of the pool water. Everything else was wonderfu...
