Malaysia's Shangri-La Tanjung Aru Hotel
Shangri-La Tanjung Aru Hotel
A short ride southwest of Kota Kinabalu and you're at Tanjung Aru, an amazingly gorgeous beach resort area -- Sabah's Riviera. The Shangri-La here is located in a most impressive setting, surrounded on three sides by water. It serves the finest local Sabahan cuisine and freshest seafood you can get in the region.
Book a room in the Tanjung Wing, which is nestled amid Shangri-La's signature lush garden setting, as the Kinabalu Wing, while newer, is more like a hotel block. Every room has a stunning view of either the sea or Mount Kinabalu, with a balcony for full appreciation. Tropical touches include rattan furnishings in cool colors and local fabrics with wood details. Their tour desk can arrange everything from scuba to trekking and rafting, and their free shuttle gives you convenient access to town. Special activities for kids make this place a good choice for families.
