Healing Trip in Kota Kinabalu (KK), Malaysia! Top 3 Sunset Spots

#kotakinabalutrip
If you’re someone who LOVES sunsets, I highly recommend visiting Kota Kinabalu!!
I’ve seen sunsets in many places, but the one in KK left a mark on my heart.
The sky changes from orange to pink, then fades into lavender and purple—every second feels like a visual masterpiece.
It’s one of those sunsets that makes you stop and just breathe it all in.

Travel Tips:

Visa: Visa-free for many countries! Just grab your passport and go!
Affordability: Very budget-friendly! AirAsia dominates most direct flights from China. You get Southeast Asia prices + world-class sunsets—a total win!
Hidden Gem Experiences in KK

Tanjung Aru Beach
This is the must-see spot for watching sunsets in Kota Kinabalu!
Highly recommend heading to the Tanjung Aru Beach Hotel for a view, or try something romantic and adventurous:
Stand-up paddle boarding into the sea during golden hour, watching the sun set right from the water. Unreal vibes!
Sunset Bar
This bar faces the sunset directly. One of the best sunset dining experiences ever!
You can chill on the couch, sip a cocktail, and enjoy a full panoramic view of the sun dipping into the ocean—zero obstructions, just pure magic.
Private Sunset Bonfire Dinner
How about a romantic private dinner in a beach pavilion under the golden sky?
Enjoy a gourmet meal as the sun sets over the waves, with a gentle breeze and the sound of the ocean—it’s beyond dreamy.
