About Sabah accommodation

Best luxury accommodation in Sabah

If you’re after a lavish stay in Sabah where everything is just perfect, you’ve come to the right place. From the plushest beds to the most indulgent spa treatments, upscale hotels can make any holiday or business trip just a little bit more special. Thanks to a huge 95,149 reviews from real travellers, find the best luxury hotels in Sabah right here at Traveloka.

What you can expect from a luxury stay in Sabah

While hotel ratings aren’t always standardised, here’s a few luxe features many 5-star hotels offer:

  • Excellent service: From smooth and friendly check-in to a helpful concierge, upscale hotels often excel when it comes to every interaction with staff.
  • Pools and gyms: Whether you’re trying to stay fit on an indulgent holiday or are sticking to your fitness routine during a work trip, you’ll likely find pools and gyms available at these hotels.
  • Spas: For the ultimate escape, many 5-star hotels offer spa services in-house or are affiliated with one nearby. 
  • World-class dining: Hotel restaurants are certainly having a comeback, and ones at luxury properties are no exception. Expect to find award-winning restaurants that may even be run by a renowned chef!

Tips for finding the best luxury hotels in Sabah

Of course, luxury can be subjective, and that’s exactly why we’ve created a ton of filtering options so you can find the perfect stay in Sabah. You may not be into spas, which is totally okay, but others may have them on their must-have list. Traveloka offers plenty of filtering options when searching to help you find the best luxury stay in Sabah. Here’s what to do:

  • Next, to make sure stays still meet any minimum expectations of a luxury hotel, you can also add filters for all the amenities you require, including pools, spas, room service, restaurants or on-site parking.
  • You can also select the star rating and guest rating to make sure you’re seeing the best of the best in Sabah (We recommend using both as you can find out how real travellers rated the experience and read about their experience)
  • If you’re looking for luxury on a budget, you can use the “Price range” filter. This can get you results that only fit within your budget so you can get the most bang for your buck in Sabah. 
  • Finally, we offer a “Sort by: Review Score” option, so you can see the absolute highest-rated stays at the top for everything that meets your criteria

Why book your Sabah hotels on Traveloka

Of course we’d love for you to book all your luxury hotels in Sabah with us, but we have some pretty great reasons you should too. 

  • Exclusive discounts: We often run Traveloka-only deals that you won’t be able to use if you book your stay directly with the hotel. This could be a coupon code for a discount or lower-rates for multi-day stays

  • 24/7 customer service: If you’re unsure about something in your booking and aren’t in the same time-zone as your hotel, no worries! Our customer care team is available around the clock no matter where in world you are or your hotel is

  • Member perks: Every stay, flight, activity and anything else you book through the Traveloka earns you points that you can use toward future stays at Sabah hotels

Looking for more accommodation options? 

We offer thousands of properties worldwide, so if there aren’t any Sabah properties at your destination that tickle your fancy, we’re sure we have something that will have you resting easy upon arrival. Browse all of our available hotels with our handy hotels search tool.

Raia Hotel Kota Kinabalu
I bought a last minute hotel stay since we just came back from airport. We arrived at 1 am and check in was smooth. No need deposit. The breakfast has so much variety and I love it all. Very recommended and will definitely stay here again. ❤️

SUPER OYO 89944 Stay Inn
So frustrated. Checking in late because flight got delayed but then still got this kind of room. Unattended. Looks like somebody else just got out of this room right bfr I checked in without room service at all. Not recommended at all. Luckily I'm just staying here for a night bfr I can check in to another hotel. Yes it's cheap but still not worth it. Rm100 for a night in this condition is so frustrating.

Impiana Mutiara Hotel @ Kampung Air
Location is opposite a night market. A bit distance from gaya street. Room condition is totally different from the picture shown in their ads. Room is small, with funny smell inside every time I get into my room. I can hear people talking outside and banging their door at midnight. The lucky thing is air conditioner is still cold and hot water shower is still hot. Will I come again? NO!
