This ethnic-themed, gloriously designed resort incorporates the natural surroundings with fine timber furnishing and local artifacts. The grand entrance is a majestic longhouse-styled lobby, an architectural tribute to the Rungus natives of Sabah. All the 456 luxuriously appointed rooms and suites unveil balconies that offer magnificent views of either the carefully manicured gardens or the awe-inspiring beauty of the South China Sea and its occupying islands. Guests are a three-minute walk from the Sutera Harbor Golf Club and an 18-minute walk from Kinabalu Golf Course. Other than golf sites, State Mosque is only a kilometer and a half away, and Sand Bar can reaching in about 23 minutes. Whatever the reason for your stay, The Magellan Sutera will take you to the next level of comfort.
