Rasa Ria

Shangri-La's Rasa Ria Resort & Spa in Malaysian Borneo has launched a new 'Adventuremoon' package, available from 1st September, aimed at discerning newlyweds looking for an adrenaline packed honeymoon whilst enjoying the deluxe comforts of a five star resort.  

The 'Adventuremoon' package invites honeymooners to explore the sights and sounds of Borneo's jungle coastline through an array of adventurous activities. From trekking, to horse-riding, to paddle boarding, to cycling, this trip has got active lovebirds covered.

Couples will have a chance to interact with nature on a river cruise, exploring the Bornean mangroves and spotting the peculiar indigenous primates, the proboscis monkey, in their natural habitat. Newlyweds will also trek 90 metres above sea level to enjoy a champagne breakfast with a view like no other, overlooking the highest mountain in the Malay Archipelago, the majestic Mount Kinabalu.

'Adventuremooners' looking to take to the water can enjoy a sunset river cruise on the Mengkabong River, kayak to a private honeymoon cove and paddle board on the calm waters of Pantai Dalit beach. Couples will also have a chance to fulfil a popular bucket-list aspiration and horse-ride across the 3km of white sand along the hotel's beachfront and there is also an option to add a 'his and hers' golf lesson with the resorts resident golf professional.

Newlyweds can also relax at the five star resort with a daily bath menu, couples massages in the beach cabana and countless opportunities to soak in their own oversize bathtub on their private balcony, exclusive to their Ocean Wing Premier Room. Also launching from 1st September are the exclusive new Elevated Ocean Wing Experience benefits which include; adults-only nightly drinks and canapes at the Ocean Wing courtyard and complimentary breakfast in bed or at onsite restaurant Oceano (exclusively reserved for Ocean Wing occupants at breakfast).  

An award-winning resort and the best hotel in Kota Kinabalu, as rated by TripAdvisor, Shangri-La Rasa Ria Resort & Spa is located along the three kilometre Pantai Dalit beach and situated on 400 acres of land framed by two mangrove lined rivers. Rasa Ria brings forth Shangri-La's renowned service that is accentuated by the resort's Sabahan hospitality.
