Gayana Marine Resort

Gayana Marine Resort rests serenely at the edges of a lush tropical Jungle on a coral reef island just off the coast of Borneo. 45 over water villas are architecturally designed to enhance the soothing sounds of the surf below while capturing the enduring vistas of Mt. Kinabalu on the distant horizon.

At its heart, the resort is about protecting and re-generating our precious Marine Ecology, and the only such property on the planet to feature its own, on-site Marine Ecology Research Center passionately propagating endangered Giant Clams and restoring natural coral reefs; where guests of all ages actively participate in restoring vibrant life back to once damaged ocean floors.
