Stay
On the south coast of Pulau Tiga, an island situated just off the west coast of Sabah, sits a luxurious hideaway resort. Thirteen villas dot an untouched stretch of coral-floored sea, with the Borneo jungle just metres away. A choice of three villa types – pool, coral and spa – each offers its own little slice of luxury. At the resort’s restaurant, Eagles Nest, a farm-to-table philosophy carries the menu offering both Asian and western-inspired dishes.
A treatment from the luxurious Echo Wellness Spa will help you melt into the slow pace of your surrounds, or a more adventurous approach will see you on a jungle trek, snorkel or kayak. It’s the kind of luxury we could certainly get used to.
