If you're looking for a warm destination in April where you can relax by the sea, eat great food, and avoid the crowds,
Kota Kinabalu in Malaysia should be at the top of your list.
In this post, I’ll walk you through everything you need to know to plan your April trip to KK — including the weather, local festivals, food recommendations, best hotels, and even a sample 4-day itinerary based on my own experience.
🌡 Average temperature: 25–33°C
🌦 Occasional short showers (tropical-style rain)
🌤 Mostly sunny with high humidity
🧴 Essentials: sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, light clothing
Although it’s the shoulder season between wet and dry periods, April in Kota Kinabalu is usually pleasant and great for outdoor activities.
A lively cultural festival where you can enjoy traditional dance, music, and local food from different ethnic groups in Sabah.
If you're lucky, you might catch it in late April.
Ramadan in 2025 ends on March 30, so April is outside of the fasting month.

Just check for Eid holiday closures during the first week of April

Visiting Kota Kinabalu in April turned out to be one of my best travel decisions.
There were fewer tourists, great weather, and that perfect balance between rest and adventure.
The sunsets here are truly something else — warm, golden skies reflecting off the sea.
And if you’re staying at a hotel like Pacific Sutera, even your swimming pool looks like a postcard.
If you're planning a spring trip and want something both relaxing and full of charm, Kota Kinabalu is a quiet gem worth exploring.
