Sipadan Kapalai Dive Resort
T
here is no shortage of lovely islands in Malaysia. Choosing the best island is a nearly impossible task. But one island that will surely stand out is the one at Sipadan Kapalai Dive Resort. The resort is just a few minutes by boat from the islands of Sipadan and Mabul on the east coast of Sabah. With glistening filter-like sand, excellent snorkeling on a reef spot just off the oceans, relaxing lounges, and crystal-clear water, it would suit those who are itching to taste sunshine and warm tropical beauty. The moment you step off the boat you will be blown away by the surrounding view. Designed and built-in full style as an airy, comfortable, sunny water village with no land in sight, it boasts a mile-long sandbank of powdery white sand where you can sunbathe in complete recreation, looking out for miles of brilliant turquoise stretching out to the horizon, offering the purest image of natural serenity. How often do you get to stay in the middle of the ocean? Literally, without access to land. Kapalai’s chain of chalets is all connected by miles of wooden walkways for those who want to take their morning jog while watching thousands of fish swimming only a few feet away especially for those who enjoy a healthier life during the stay.
If you love diving, dive spots are extremely close and can be reached in just a few minutes by speedboat and some of them, actually, just by swimming from the dive center pier. For those who are ready to explore more than the tiny marvels of Kapalai’s macro life, within just a few minutes, dive in Sipadan (where big fish and turtles abound) or in Mabul (where silky and muddy bottoms offer different and equally pleasant experiences and opportunities to the lovers of “muck diving”). With a good combination of sun and water in a beautiful and serene atmosphere with welcoming staff, Sipadan-Kapalai is the perfect destination for both scuba divers and non-scuba divers looking for a great holiday experience!
Sipadan Kapalai Dive Resort is comfortable and stunning with a variety of things to choose from. Boat trips, water sports, nature, and more. Whether you crave culture, adventure, or simply want to relax on a beach, this island should fulfill your travel dreams.
