KK : Day Trip to Bunga Raya Island Resort & Spa, Pulau Gaya

This is a sponsored trip by Bunga Raya Island Resort & Spa (BRIRS) and Gayana Eco Resort

- Our trip with VLOG -

Lucky us that we were invited to have a luxurious day trip to BRIRS on last Saturday.

Many familiar faces bloggers whom we knew each before and the trip such an enjoyable one with them and furthermore, services provided by BRIRS are good! Thank you! :)

- All those Happy Faces! Reunited! -

We departed from Jesselton Point Ferry Terminal at 10.30a.m. and arrived at BRIRS, approximately 30 minutes after (11.00a.m), their jetty looks perfect with all the over-water pavilions along the bridge. It is quite romantic that I think I enjoyed that place much. In fact, we may have the opportunity to dine at the pavilion but with early preparation in advance. ;) It was lovely and it's just breath taking scene every where around the resort.

"As sensual and exotic as the hibiscus flower that bears its name, Bunga Raya Island Resort is a romantic and luxurious jewel set on a coral reef island off the coast of Borneo. A secluded island hideaway of 48 timbered villas, the resort is framed by white sand beach on one side and the centuries old virgin jungle on the other. Hillside private villas reflect the simplicity of the Borneo architectural style." - BRIRS
