Fly from the UK to Borneo

Kota Kinabalu comes highly recommended as a stop off on a Malaysia multi destination holiday. It is located on the tropical island of Borneo and is the state capital of Sabah. This is a modern city with warm hospitality and surrounded by long sandy beaches, paradise islands, virgin coral reefs, tropical rain forests; and the mighty Mount Kinabalu is only 90 minutes away. Accumulatively this part of Malaysia has a population of one million and is known as "K-K" generally or affectionately as "Api-Api" to the locals.

The location of the city is absolutely amazing; and from the airport it is just a short ride to most of the hotels. You'll find a world class sailing marina and championship golf courses as well as first class holiday resorts and fantastic entertainment, nightlife and dining options all close at hand.

Mount Kinabalu pierces the sky at just over 4,000 metres high and it certainly takes a brave and experienced person to get to the summit, given that it's nearly nine kilometres from the bottom! For a more laid back approach to your holiday, the South Sea Sanctuary - a boutique spa - is located in the heart of Kota Kinabalu, with relaxation treatments and beauty therapies on offer. For a more eclectic angle, why not visit the Mari Mari cultural village? Immersed in the natural forest, you can learn about the background of the ethnic groups and the location enlightens you about the cultural heritage in Sabah.

A mix of ethnic locals, Chinese prospectors, Indian migrants and British colonials have all helped to sculpt the city and each group has left its own indelible mark.

Eating, shopping and nightlife are popular highlights of any visit, but don’t restrict yourself to the city – there is a fantastic array of parks and monuments scattered around KL that make easy day trips for a break from the hustle and bustle.
