Our Story: How It All Began

Dear Guests, Old and New,

Tucked away in Sabah’s serene mountain landscape, Sling & Stone Mountain Suites began with a vision: to create more than just a place to stay — but a mountain retreat where people could pause, reconnect, and feel renewed.

A glimpse into our past

Born out of our family's journey through seasons of transition, the Suites were created to offer rest, renewal, and quiet beauty. Each suite is set amidst the trees, gardens, and streams, inviting guests to slow down and experience rest — not just for the body, but also for the soul.

We started small — renovating old villas into boutique suites, restoring what was already here, and breathing new life into it with care and purpose. Every detail, from the room names to the mountain-facing patios, is intentional. We want our guests to feel what we’ve felt in this place: peace, presence, and possibility.

A Mountain Retreat, Rooted in Purpose

Sling & Stone is not just a name. It represents courage, resilience, legacy, and a calling to build something that lasts — not just for ourselves, but for the community and generations to come. As a new chapter of our family business, this retreat reflects our desire to host with meaning and serve with excellence.

The Heart of the Retreat: Mesilou Dome Restaurant & Café

As part of this growing vision, we opened the Mesilou Dome Restaurant & Café, located within the grounds of the Suites. It’s not just a place to dine — it’s a place to gather. To take in the morning mist over coffee in the glass dome, enjoy warm meals in the main hall, or celebrate in the private VIP rooms built for intimate occasions.

Designed to complement the Suites, the restaurant embraces the same principles: natural beauty, thoughtful design, and heartfelt hospitality. Whether you're staying overnight or just stopping by, the Dome invites you into the rhythm of the mountain — slow, refreshing, and deeply personal. And when night falls, it becomes a quiet, magical space to sit back, watch the moon rise, and enjoy the stars.

Still Growing, Always Welcoming

As of now, we’re in our soft launch phase. Some rooms are ready. Some are still in the making. The same goes for our restaurant spaces. But that’s part of our story too — we’re building slowly, with care, and staying true to what matters.

We’re not just creating a resort. We’re shaping a retreat experience — one that blends nature, design, and hospitality into something truly restorative.

Come and be part of our story.
Whether you're here for a peaceful stay or a meal with a view, we welcome you — just as you are.
