Are you like me? Whenever I feel low, I want to be in a place so high and just take the leap. Lol, don’t worry—it’s not about suicide. Being in a high place feels refreshing, right? It’s as if you exist solely to feel freedom and happiness.
Kokol Haven Resort is a tourist spot in Kota Kinabalu that offers a perfect view of the blue sky and the warm orange flares of the sun as it blankets the entire city. Perched atop a hill 1,000 meters above sea level, this newly established resort is just an hour away from the city. Though the road leading there is zigzagged and narrow, the stunning view makes the journey worthwhile.
The journey itself is already worth it because of the breathtaking view. Moreover, the road feels even steeper than the one leading to Kinabalu Park, in my opinion. Once again, we hired Fat for both the Kinabalu Park and Kokol Haven Resort trip for RM600. This is a reasonable price considering the challenging uphill route.

There’s an entrance fee of RM 10, which includes a free drink. We enjoyed our time while waiting because the scenery was truly majestic, even though it wasn’t sunset yet.
We arrived around 4 PM, and although the sun was still soaring high, the wind was really cool.
Kokol Haven Resort Rooms
The resort has function rooms, room accommodations, and a nipa hut, which I guess is also for accommodation. Of course, there’s the overlooking al fresco dining area, which is divided into three sections. Kids can freely play on the Bermuda grass.

There’s also this small bridge that invites you to strike a pose.
Kokol Haven Resort Sunset
After endless conversations, joking around with our shy tour guide, and appreciating the beauty of the country, along with the disciplined and very friendly nature of Malaysians, we became even more captivated by the stunning city as the sun set.
The scene is very surreal… it’s in that moment you can finally say, “I love Sabah.” Well, I also wish I were with someone special while experiencing that moment. Hahaha!
