Shangri-La Rasa Ria, Kota Kinabalu
Tuaran, Sabah, Malaysia
Borneo is the draw: a long golden beach backed by the resort's own rainforest reserve, with a Discovery Centre and a busy kids club running all day. It's less polished than the region's ultra-luxury names, but for children who love animals and want genuine adventure, from mangrove boat trips to orangutan visits, it's hard to beat.
