Holidays in Tawau

Tired of scrolling through other people's holiday pics while you're polishing off your brekkie? Then book a getaway to Tawau and start your days among the striking rural landscapes, beaches and forests of Sabah.

It's situated 1,800 kilometres east of Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia.

Tawau Hills Park, 10 kilometres away, is the place to head for clean air and a peaceful afternoon. It's certainly worth the journey.

The Tawau Golf Club is a popular spot for local golf fans. Join the fun with a couple of games before unwinding with a cool drink at the clubhouse.

Mentadak is 35 kilometres to the southwest and worth having a look at. Want more ideas? Nunukan, 40 kilometres to the southwest of Tawau, ought to be on your itinerary.

Looking for something to get your heart pumping? For a fun and memorable journey through the surrounding landscape, sign yourself up for some mountain biking or mountain climbing.

Take yourself on an insightful excursion with a knowledgeable guide and some fellow travellers. Guided nature walks and wildlife spotting tours are all on offer in the region.

In the mood for some fun on the water? Then put on your suntan lotion and take your inner aqua-lover swimming or snorkeling.

Spend an afternoon indoors exploring the hidden treasures of the region's nature museums.

Put on some comfortable shoes and head on over to one of the surrounding area's popular outdoor attractions. Its open-air markets are ready and waiting to be explored.

Tempt your taste buds and fill your Instagram feed with appetising pics by gorging on some of the area's greatest food and drink offerings. Just be sure to hashtag 'yum'!

While in Tawau, eat like the locals do. That means trying a plate of pinasakan sada (braised fish with fruit) or hinava (seasoned raw mackerel), two of the region's classic dishes.

Don't let a difference in language get in the way of a good holiday! Make your journey to Sabah a more rewarding one by putting in the effort to learn a couple of phrases in the local language. You may be glad you learnt 'Semoga hari anda baik sahaja', which means 'have a nice day'. Maybe you'll find 'Selamat malam' easier to get your head around? It means 'good night'.

What better way to immerse yourself in a place than by joining in on a day of national celebration? There'll be loads of festivities organised for Independence Day on the 31st of August.

Before you pack up and say "Sampai jumpa lagi", why not spend the last of your holiday allowance and treat yourself to some mementos of Tawau?

From the middle of Tawau, it's around 340 kilometres west to Brunei International Airport (BWN). This is the closest airport. Make sure you give yourself extra time to make your way there so you don't miss check-in.

Its okay
"The hotel staff was very friendly but the hotel is a bit old and it is all around. Our phone didn't work and the bathroom was never totally clean. That being said we liked the breakfast very much and no bad word on the restaurant"
