Gaya Island Resort is located within the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, a short distance off Kota Kinabalu, operating in protected waters with controlled access. The resort occupies a defined footprint on the island, offering a balance between seclusion and proximity to mainland services.

For yacht itineraries, Gaya Island functions as a discreet shore based stop, providing calm anchorages, efficient transfers, and reliable hospitality within a well managed marine environment.
