A place where you fall asleep to the sound of waves and wake up to the chirping of birds.

Magellan Sutera Resort Staycation Review The warm air greeted me as soon as I arrived at the airport. Located less than 15 minutes away by car, Magellan Sutera Resort is close to the city yet offers a serene and tranquil atmosphere that feels detached from reality. The lobby itself was impressive. With its high ceilings, slowly rotating ceiling fans, and an open view of the ocean, the healing process seemed to begin even while waiting to check in. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a balcony overlooking lush green lawns and the sea. You could even hear the sound of waves while lying in bed. Staying in the room alone was a delight. The resort features multiple swimming pools, thoughtfully designed to cater to families and couples alike with separate spaces. Lying on a sunbed, doing nothing but gazing at the sky, was pure bliss. At sunset, I walked to the private beach. The sight of the ocean bathed in the colors of the setting sun and people taking photos in front of it made me think, "I'm so glad I came here." Dinner was at the resort's restaurant, offering a mix of local and international dishes that perfectly suited my taste. The unlimited breakfast was also excellent, with tropical fruits and local coffee leaving a lasting impression. What stood out the most was the staff's kindness. They greeted me with smiles and anticipated my needs before I even asked, making my stay comfortable and warm. This is a place where you can heal without doing much. Falling asleep to the sound of waves and waking up to the chirping of birds is an experience that makes you realize why travel is essential to escape the daily grind. 📍 Magellan Sutera Resort, Kota Kinabalu Sabah, Malaysia, Sutera Harbor area
