Sabah, the "Land Below the Wind" is a tropical paradise where there is no shortage of good food to enjoy, tranquil places to stay, things to see, activities to do and the mystical attractions and marvels to experience.
Set against the backdrop of the rainforest, pristine white beaches and clear blue seas, Sabah is now a favourite destination for those yearning for an exotic and comfortable holiday.
Only two and a half hours flight from Kuala Lumpur, or 30 minutes from Brunei, Sabah is easily accessible by air from all parts of the world.
Here, you can stay in very affordable 5 star resorts adjoining the South China Sea. Shangri-La's Tanjung Aru Beach Resort, The Sutera Harbour Resort, The Nexus Resort & Spa and Shangri-La's Rasa Ria Resort all cater for families with all the amenities and facilities to entertain and excite. Parents are not forgotten with luxurious day-spas and golf courses on hand to rest and relax.
The Tuaran Beach Resort even has packages including all meals and activities so that families can have a cheap and well-planned relaxing holiday.
Sabah's main attractions lie away from the resorts with a myriad of soft-adventure excursions to choose from.
Get up-close and personal with an Orang utan at the Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre in Sandakan. Located 20 minutes outside the town, the centre facilitates the return of Orang Utans back to the wild and allows visitors to observe the 'man of the forest' up close.
The floodplains of the Kinabatangan River are home to the largest concentration of wildlife in Malaysia.
Experience the pristine rainforest and a plethora of animals like the Clouded Leopard, Asian Elephant, Crocodiles, Civet Cats, Otters, all eight species of Hornbills found in Borneo, Egrets, magnificent Kingfishers, Storks, Hawks and the incredible Oriental darter which dive into rivers and lakes to pursue fish! But the most amazing spectacle is the bizarre Proboscis Monkey found nowhere else in the world except Borneo. You may even sight an Orang Utan making it's home in the trees.
With white sandy beaches and the waters surrounding it beautiful and clear, Selingan Island makes an excellent destination for resting and relaxation for the whole family. Famous for its Green and Hawksbill turtles, July to October are particularly good months because more turtles come ashore to lay their eggs. However, visitors are assured that at least a few turtles do come up to nest every night of the year.
Kinabalu Park is Sabah's first World Heritage Listed park and is home to flora and fauna not seen outside of Sabah. Less than two hours drive from Kota Kinabalu, the park is home to numerous unusual plants such as the pitcher plant, 26 species of rhododendrons, countless orchids and the largest flower in the world, the Rafflesia.
For families, there is no place like to Sabah to keep everyone entertained. With a mix of day tours or mini-stays with your resort accommodation, everyone will be well entertained.
Swim, snorkel, dive and para-sail in the crystal clear waters off the coast, visit water villages built over the water or visit a local market. Sabah has an unhurried, friendly and easy-going nature - the ambience is relaxing.
