Secret Sabah escape – unwind with a view at Kokol Haven

#summervacay #june2025 #borneosabah If you’ve ever dreamed of watching the sun melt into the sea from a mountaintop, Kokol Haven Resort delivers just that. Perched in the cool highlands above Kota Kinabalu, this gem offers panoramic views that stretch from the city skyline to the distant islands. As golden hour approached, the sky transformed — soft apricot, rose, and violet hues reflecting off the South China Sea. It’s hard not to pause and be completely present. Every corner of the resort is built with beauty in mind. Swings, fairy lights, and glass balconies make it a content creator’s paradise. The on-site café serves aromatic coffee and house-made cakes, best enjoyed with a light breeze and city views below. 📸 Tip: Arrive at least an hour before sunset to claim a prime spot for photos.
