Shangri-La’s Rasa Ria Resort & Spa is set on Pantai Dalit beach surrounded by 400 acres of lush tropical vegetation, including a unique nature reserve. Here you’ll find a remarkable array of indigenous flora and fauna. Unexpected encounters with hornbills who glide right overhead during breakfast, a friendly bear cat greeting you from a tree or the occasional wild rabbit, iguana or squirrel crossing your path are all part of the magic of this remarkable resort.

The recently renovated Garden Wing offers tranquil accommodation across 326 guestrooms, designed to accentuate the natural surroundings. Each room features a balcony overlooking the forests, garden or sea, as well as an en-suite marble bathroom. Breakfast is served daily on the coffee terrace. For guests looking for extra indulgence the Ocean Wing awaits, with 173 opulently furnished rooms facing the shores of the South China Sea. Premier Rooms also features a private oversized outdoor bathtub and large daybed for the ultimate in relaxation. From arrival to departure, guests of the Ocean Wing will enjoy an elevated holiday experience with special privileges and personalised services, including breakfast at Oceano Restaurant, exclusive check in through private lobby, complimentary minibar, daily happy hour and access to the Ocean wing pool and garden areas.
