“Mai Aman” in Kadazandusun not only brings literal meaning but, also a fond remembrance to the memories of a man, to whom the villagers of Kampung Gana in Papar referred to as “Uncle Aman”.
Through the legacy of his late father, who was a well-known and much loved and respected school teacher in the village back in the 1950’s, Mai Aman Resort was conceptualized and established among the village community by its founder and owner Datuk Verus Aman Sham.
Situated on 30 acres of lush green spurs of hills, valleys and forested ridge, this humble and homely resort is located 35 km south of Sabah’s state capital, Kota Kinabalu City.
A leisurely 40 minute drive will take you to the resort’s property, 700m off the Penampang-Papar Highway, which forms part of the Trans-Borneo Highway, in Kampung Gana in the District of Papar.
Guests arriving at the resort have a choice from a variety of different types of accommodation to stay in. The resort, which can cater to more than 50 guests at any one time on double and/or twin-sharing basis, offers the following types of accommodation:
§ 5 rooms at the ‘Guvas Country Rest House’
§ 11 rooms and 1 mini-dorm at the ‘Kondiu Hostel’
§ 5 rooms in 2 contemporary Kampung Chalets
§ Camping grounds
In addition, Mai Aman has 2 large fresh water fish ponds for recreational fishing or fish feeding, a natural wetland and lush forest ideal for eco and biodiversity educational programs and activities.
Getting There
Mai Aman can be reached via a 40-minute drive from Kota Kinabalu. Guests can either take the cab or a bus from the city. But due to the rather remote location of the resort, it's more advisable for guests to rent a vehicle.
