YTL Hotels opens Borneo's new Gaya Island Resort

Image: The resort features 121 standalone villas

Hospitality operator YTL Hotels has unveiled the new Gaya Island Resort on the island of Pulau Gaya - located off the coast of Borneo's Malaysian-administered state of Sabah.

The property features 121 standalone hill and seafront villas overlooking Mount Kinabalu, with facilities including a Spa Village housing six treatment rooms.

Located amid mangroves, Spa Village Gaya Island combines the surrounding environment, culture and wellbeing to create an "uplifting" experience for its guests.

Treatments reflect cultural healing traditions of Sabah, such as specialised rice scrubs and masques of the Kadazandusun and the long-standing practices of Bajau sea nomads.

A spokesperson for Gaya Island Resort said: "Spa Village Gaya Island is uniquely rooted in ancient tradition while seeking to restore balance to the body and soul."
