A new base for exploring Northern Sabah

The newly opened Hilton Garden Inn Kota Kinabalu Tuaran offers new possibilities for travellers looking to explore the cultural and natural wonders beyond the popular city of Kota Kinabalu in Northern Borneo.

Opened in March 2026, the 167-room property provides a convenient base for discovering the area’s natural attractions, including nearby mangrove ecosystems, rivers and other local highlights.

Located along the Tuaran coastline, the hotel is approximately 30 minutes from Kota Kinabalu city centre and just over one hour from the airport.

Facilities include an outdoor swimming pool with a children’s wet-play area, an all-day restaurant serving Western and Malaysian cuisine and a bar with an open-air deck overlooking the coastline.

The property also features a 164-square-metre multi-purpose hall suitable for small meetings, training sessions, team-building activities and social events.

Ideal for families, couples and small group programmes, the hotel is well suited to itineraries combining nature, culture and relaxation. A two- to three-night stay is recommended, allowing guests ample time to discover this lesser-visited area while enjoying the peaceful coastal setting of Tuaran.
