Property information

Bonheur at Karambunai is a short-term vacation rental management company based in Kota Kinabalu. As a small, private rental company, our services may differ from those of a hotel. However, rest assured that we are dedicated to delivering the utmost quality of service and hospitality to make your stay as exceptional as possible. During the pandemic in 2020, Bonheur at Karambunai undertook an extensive renovation project. Our goal is to present our guests with new and unique experiences through our villas' revitalized appearance and atmosphere. As a result, each 'Bonheur' villa boasts its own distinctiveness and charm. Currently, we manage seven privately owned pool villas in Karambunai. Ranging from affordable to premium, our selection has you covered. Explore a diverse range of options tailored just for you!  For international travellers considering a stay with us, please be aware that our villas are situated in a secluded area, approximately 35-45 minutes from the city centre, subject to traffic conditions. It's important to note that Bonheur manages only 8 villas, limiting our ability to assign adjacent villas for guests booking multiple accommodations. Given the secluded location, transportation options are limited. The closest restaurants and supermarkets are accessible by car, approximately 20 minutes away. 'Bonheur' in French means happiness, and we invite you to experience 'Bonheur' while you stay with us. Located in Karambunai, just 28 km from Kota Kinabalu town, Bonheur Villa offers accommodations with direct access to a 6 km stretch of white sandy beach, a private pool, a Jacuzzi tub, free private parking, complimentary internet, and more. Tucked away in seclusion and serenity, our villas provide an enchanting escape where every detail is meticulously designed to surround you in comfort and tranquillity.
