Masilau Natural Resort
Site Category : Mountain Resort Masilau is also situated on the foot hill of Mount Kinabalu. But it is different because there is a golf course nearby, which obviously is not owned by the resort because there is no mention about it in the resort owner's website. Nestled at the foot of the magnificent Mount Kinabalu at 2,000 metres above sea level within the World Heritage Site, Mesilau Nature Resort promises to enchant visitors with its cool temperate climate and serene surroundings as an amazing nature's paradise. Climbers especially repeat climbers, may now try the new and challenging trail to Mount Kinabalu from this point. The bio-diversity of the flora and fauna found here makes Mesilau a haven for naturalists. The world's largest pitcher plant, the "Nepenthes Rajah" grows in abundance here. Cool and refreshing, Mesilau is an ideal venue for motivational training, seminars, meetings and even meditation.
