A few minutes by boat from the islands of Sipadan and Mabul, but a full world away from them, lies the exhilarating Sipadan-Kapalai Dive Resort, sitting on its sturdy stilts on the shallow sandbanks of the Ligitan Reefs.
It was designed and constructed in grand style as an airy, cozy, sunny water village with no land in sight. It has a mile-long sandbank of powdery white sand where one can sunbathe at leisure while gazing out to the miles of brilliant turquoise stretching into the horizon, providing the purest image of natural tranquility. Some of the dive spots are extremely close and can be reached in just a few minutes by speedboat, some of them, actually, just by swimming from the dive center pier.
With a combination of sun and water in a unique and serene setting with friendly staff, Sipadan-Kapalai is an ideal destination for divers and non-divers alike seeking a great holiday experience! Sipadan-Kapalai Dive Resort and Tours jetty office is accessible through Semporna, Sabah, Malaysia, where our Pulau Sipadan Resort and Tours jetty office is also located. Advance booking is necessary to avoid any inconvenience. Bookings can be made through the inquiry form on these sites.

The trip might have been the absolute best of our lifetime (thus far). We particularly want to commend our guide Peter in the Guilin area-he was so incredibly attentive, energetic, enthusiastic-and absolutely dedicated to ensuring that our meals were 100% vegetarian.
