How do we rate a property?
We rate all our hotels, resorts, and lodges using our own bespoke grading system. We'll only invite a property into our collection once it's been assessed by one of our specialists. If it doesn't impress us, it doesn't make the cut.
From the quality of the food served in the restaurant to the amenities offered in each bedroom, we carefully rate each property to make sure it meets our high expectations.

About This Hotel
Time seems to have stopped at Gaya Island Resort. Accessible only by boat, this particular piece of paradise is a natural sanctuary hidden away in beautiful Borneo.
Stretch out on the beach, laze by the pool, wander through Gaya Island Resort’s considerable acreage, or make the most of the various activities available in this area. Whether guests choose to get out and explore the resort’s surroundings or simple revel in all this property has to offer, a prevailing theme will quickly become apparent: “intimacy with the natural world.” Wrapped in luxury, of course.
121 villas and two-bedroom suites at Gaya Island Resort have been constructed with nature in mind. Local materials allow the island architecture to blend seamlessly with its environment. Surrounded by foliage, each room feels private and secluded, and “contemporary elegance” describes the interiors to a tee.
Gaya Island Resort organizes a wide variety of activities that particularly curious guests are encouraged to try in this spectacular setting. Of course, sitting back and enjoying the view – or the Spa Village therapies – is also a wise choice. And don’t forget about the dining….
