Bigfin beach resort

Kota Belud

Facing the seafront in Kota Belud, Bigfin beach resort features a private beach area. Offering a restaurant, the property also has a garden. The property provides sea views and a terrace.

Guests at Bigfin beach resort can enjoy scuba diving, snorkelling, and kayaking while other on-site activities includes hiking or simply lounging by the beach. Super lovely local crew, awesome food (thanks Awieee), great diving - the accommodation is remote and basic, but you will finally get a chance to unwind and enjoy nature here. I had an amazing time. I hope I will be back one day.
