Property information

Welcome to "Seaview Bliss Studio By Tropical Elegance" at The Shore, Kota Kinabalu — where European artistry meets tropical serenity. Our seaview residences are serviced private apartments, personally designed and furnished by a French designer who has filled each suite with antiques and art pieces from his own collection. This is not a hotel, but a thoughtfully managed designer home, created for guests who appreciate quality and quiet elegance. Located in the very heart of Kota Kinabalu, The Shore offers both convenience and tranquility — all major attractions, cafes, and shopping streets are within walking distance, yet from your balcony you can enjoy the rare calm of a panoramic ocean view. Each suite is ideal for solo travelers, couples, honeymooners, or anyone seeking to unwind and reconnect with the simple beauty of life by the sea. To preserve the quality of the space for every guest, please note that smoking and strong-smelling fruits (such as durian or jackfruit) are not allowed indoors. We look forward to sharing with you a different kind of stay — one that feels more like coming home than checking into a hotel.
