The Magellan Sutera Resort

Located within the Sutera Harbour complex, a mere 5 minutes from Kota Kinabalu centre and 10 minutes from the airport, this five-star hotel complements its natural surroundings and the entrance is designed as a traditional longhouse, decorated with local handicrafts.

Each of the 456 rooms has a balcony overlooking the gardens, or the South-China sea. Every room is equipped with flat-screen TV with cable and satellite channels, free WiFi, coffee and tea making facilities and minibar, while the ensuite bathroom has both a bath and shower.

Breakfast buffet at Five Sales offers a selection of both international and Malaysian cuisine, and Muffinz is open throughout the day for delicious salads, sandwiches, refreshing smoothies, cakes and muffins.  Dining options include Al Fresco, a relaxed outdoor venue by the pool offering seafood, pasta and pizzas from the wood-fired oven, or fine dining at the Italian restaurant Ferdinand's.

A shuttle service operates within the resort and to the city.
