The Sunset Bar, an iconic venue which draws inspiration from Sabah's famous sunsets, relaunched recently after a five-month face lift.

The brainchild of Design B.U. BE from Singapore, the outlet has been redesigned to give off a contemporary island feel.

Featuring a uniquely shaped roof inspired by the traditional indigenous homes of Borneo, the allure of Sunset Bar lies in its unique location on a private island and has the distinct advantage of being only minutes away from Kota Kinabalu's city centre – though one would be hard pressed to believe it judging by its surroundings – making it perfect for exclusive cocktail gatherings or romantic nuptials for up to 100 guests.

Easily the city's most sought after location for sunset worshippers and lovers of liquid libations, Sunset Bar gives off vibes of relaxed sophistication with décor and furnishings representing understated Borneon flair.

Aurally, ambient music helps to ensure that an elegant multi sensory experience prevails, and is paired perfectly with visually stunning sunsets. Combine these elements with premium cocktails and the comfort offered by one of the highly coveted daybeds, and Sunset Bar becomes a complete feast for the senses.

Sunset Bar is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. onwards.
