  1. Gayana Eco Resort

    Stay 66
    Save to a list Write a review On the Way Around

    A twenty-minute boat ride from Kota Kinabalu drops you at this over-water eco resort of thatch-roofed villas perched on a small cape of Gaya Island in Tunku Abdul Rahman Park. Room service arrives by raft, the spa runs caviar facials, and the on-site marine research center runs coral replanting dives, which neatly captures the whole vibe: barefoot but not cheap, remote but fully attended to. Monkeys and hornbills handle the ambient noise.

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
