[2025 Kota Kinabalu Attraction] Travel Guide for Kokol Hill Elf (Updated Mar)

#malaysia This place is a haven for photography enthusiasts, offering numerous picturesque spots that are perfect for Instagram-worthy shots with Kota Kinabalu in the distance. The views are stunning and amazing. When we went, the weather was good with relatively good visibility. The place had different nooks, crannies and props for you to take photos with. Go in the late afternooon so that you can stay for the sunset and take even nicer pictures! Entrance fee is RM10 for adult.

Not much photos during this vacay. We are all amazed with the scenery. Breath in and breath out. Super relaxing and quite a calm place to visit. The air was very refreshing, help a lot to let go of your stressfulness (even for a while ahahaha). Well, just forget your hectic schedules for a while. Fee: RM10/adult This fee can be redeemed to buy drink. Food Review: Yes, quite expensive (standard price for resort etc) but it’s okay. Still worth it. They served a big portion on it. But, most important is the quality. I love their CAPPUCCINO, it just u know, NGAM2 as Sabahan said😅. Perfect 👍🏻. And their food is FINGER-LICKING.

Hot swing on SNS ✨ There is a spot in Kota Kinabalu, Kokol Hill, where you can take the best shot of your life 🤩 It is pretty even when taken during the day like the picture, but since Kota Kinabalu has a beautiful sunset, it is also so so pretty at night 💦 Everyone, bring a one-piece dress and go swinging 💖 📍Kota Kinabalu, Kokol Hill #Kota KinabaluTravel #TravelAddict #MemoriesForSale #LifeShot #WithNature#CapturingSummer

I would like to recommend Kokol Hill, which is about 20km from Kota Kinabalu city. Since it is not far from the city, it became a hotspot for a weekend away. You can find many resorts, villas and homestay built along the hill. Located 25km from the central city, it takes about 40 minutes to 1 hour drive to reach the resort. A very good place where you can spend time with your loved one, while enjoying the wonderful scene at night/morning. F&B service average, but the food quality is good. Standby your jacket/sweater if you plan to overnight at the resort. There are 2 blocks of the resort, main resort & rose villa resort which on the hill. I got myself a room at Rose Villa, and I can have a morning sunrise scene and you can see Mount Kinabalu from far. The scene is fascinating. #besttrip #urbanexplorer

Breath taking

Kokol Elf is one of the perfect place to soothe yourself from a hustle and bustle city life which makes it suitable for friends, couples and family retreat. Also one of the best place to capture the stunning panoramic view overlooking a dazzling sunset, mount kinabalu while chiling on the swings, nests and hanging cocoon chairs with drinks.

Kokol Hill Elf is a viewpoint where you can see the view of Kota Kinabalu. And there are several photo zones where you can take the best photos of your life. I especially recommend the photos taken on the swing. You can get great photos just like the Bali Swing. The most popular time is before sunset, so I recommend you come and see the sunset and night view. #Kokol Hill Elf #Kota KinabaluTravel #BestPhotoRestaurant

My visit to Koko Hill was absolutely breathtaking. The panoramic views from the top were simply stunning, with lush greenery stretching as far as the eye could see. Suggest to go around sunset time. The trails were well-maintained, making it easy to explore and enjoy nature walks. I was particularly impressed by the serene ambiance and peaceful atmosphere, which provided a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. I couldn’t get enough of the picturesque scenery, especially during sunrise and sunset. Koko Hill is definitely a must-visit for anyone looking for a tranquil outdoor experience amidst breathtaking natural beauty.

Kokol hill is about an hour drive from Kota Kinabalu City. You can overlook the city scenery from one side and mount Kinabalu from the other side. The air here is cool. It’s a great option to feel the breeze air besides Kundasang.#kotakinabalu #malaysia #mountain

This pic i took when going to sabah at kokol hill it’s so lovely and more colourful view there entrance just around RM2-5 only if i’m not mistaken

Kokol Hill in Malaysia is like a fairy tale, seriously. First, you drive up these twisty roads, and the views are mind-blowing. When you get to the top, there's this Elf Village – cute wooden huts with a killer view of the Crocker Range. You can chill out, grab some local Sabahan coffee, and just breathe in that fresh mountain air. But the real magic happens at sunrise and sunset. Watching the sun do its thing behind those hills is pure enchantment. It's like a moment of zen you'll remember for a long time. Kokol Hill is your ticket to escape the city craziness and embrace the natural beauty of Sabah. Whether you're an adventure seeker, a nature buff, or just someone looking for a quiet getaway, Kokol Hill and its Elf Village are a slice of Borneo paradise you've got to check out.#couplestrip

#Places to visit #Malaysia #Kota Kinabalu When you think of Kota Kinabalu, you think of sunset, and when you think of sunset, you think of Kokol Hill I had high expectations because it was already so famous on Instagram But when I actually visited It was disappointing considering the expensive entrance fee + tour fee🥲 Despite that, it was a sunset that was so beautiful I still can't forget💗 ✔️ That's all that's in the picture! If you expect too much, you might be disappointed I recommend only those who say 'I don't need anything else, I just need to take a picture of the swing! ' ✔️ Since it's located on the mountain, it takes a long time to get there and the road is a bit rough. Those who get motion sickness should take motion sickness medicine ✔️ There are two ways to go: bargaining with Grab drivers and making a reservation through a professional tour agency There are two ways to go, but I recommend making a reservation through a tour agency for safety

Been to Kokol Hill for the first time with family early this year 😇 The location is easy to find, had to drove uphill 🚗 for around 15mins to get to the place. Breathtaking view 😍 There's restaurant, resort, and other facilities. The entry fee was only RM10 per person at that time. We took some pics and admiring the beautiful view.

THE BEST EVER VIEW TO SEE KOTA KINABALU SABAH , please visit here 👍🏼
