Sabah is slowly becoming known by European, Australian and other visitors as a culturally diverse, scenically beautiful and environmentally friendly holiday destination. As part of Malaysia, it combines a growing economy with sensitivity to its natural attractions, such as its key World Heritage Site, the one and only Mount Kinabalu, with its unique ecosystem. Sabah is blessed with an ever-warm climate, although rainfall patterns vary during the year. It is known as “The Land Below The Wind” due to the absence of tropical storms that are so prevalent just north in the Philippines. Five star resort hotels and comparable golf courses are found along the West Coast and even within Kota Kinabalu City itself. Many Malaysians speak excellent English and their warmth & friendliness towards visitors is exceptionally good. Beaches abound, especially on the Islands of the Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park, which lie within a 30 minute boat ride from the town centre of Kota Kinabalu. The variety and quality of Malaysian food and fruit never fails to amaze visitors, while a wide variety of international cuisine is also available if a holidaymaker needs a “touch of home”.
