Shangri-La Tanjung Aru (Non-Guest) Visit Guide
Last updated: October 2026
The Shangri-La Tanjung Aru Resort & Spa sits at the southern end of the beach. Many visitors ask whether non-guests can enjoy its sunset and restaurants.
This guide explains the non-guest perspective without promising access that depends on the hotel’s own policy.
For non-guests
Resort facilities are primarily for guests. Non-guests can sometimes dine at the resort’s restaurants or bars, but access, dress code and booking rules are set by the hotel and change — confirm directly with the property.
Sunset without the resort
You do not need to stay at the resort to enjoy the same coastline sunset; the public beach in front remains open. Use the resort area only as a dining option, not as the viewpoint.
Frequently asked questions
Can day visitors use the pool or beach club?+
That depends entirely on the hotel’s current day-pass policy. Contact the resort to confirm before you go.
Is it good for honeymooners?+
As a resort it is a popular honeymoon choice for the sea-view rooms and dining; see the honeymoon guide for the non-resort side of a romantic evening.
