"The Borneo Beach Villa is an incredible value! The South China Sea is beautiful, clear and clean!! The villa is as pictured though with some wear and tear - though still lovely and spacious. We stayed in a unit with its own pool that was on the beach.The staff was very responsive. I would recommend renting a car if you are not too intimidated by driving on the left."

A serene 3-bedroom villa with private beach and stunning views of China Sea

10/10 Excellent
"This property and its surroundings were beautiful. We genuinely had the beach to ourselves which felt very special. The host had furnished and stocked the property to make it comfortable and there was the added bonus of paddle board, snorkeling gear and games too.We had hired a 4x4 and the drive was definitely an experience, however, the cleaner and groundsman were always on site and happy to take us should we need it.We also went scuba diving with Bigfin, who picked us up by boat and we spent a memorable day discovering reefs locally.The description of serene was accurate and I will never forget the views!Bring mosquito protection."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Kota Belud?
The best area to stay in Kota Belud is generally on the outskirts of the main town, particularly in areas offering direct access to nature or cultural experiences.For travellers seeking a unique cultural experience, areas near the Kadazan-Dusun villages or along the Tempasuk River are ideal. These locations provide opportunities to stay in traditional guesthouses and experience local life, often including activities like buffalo racing or visiting the local tamu (open-air market). It's a chance to connect with the local community and learn about their heritage.Couples looking for a peaceful retreat with natural beauty often prefer accommodations closer to the coastline or located within the rural landscapes surrounding the town. These spots offer quiet surroundings, often with views of Mount Kinabalu or the South China Sea.
