Mabul & Kapalai

Sipadan

This is one of the big fish capitals of the world, and every dive site is loaded with flashy schools of anthias, jacks, triggerfish, and barracuda. All along the reef, angelfish, anemone fish, nudibranchs, lionfish, eels, octopus, and many more species can be found lurking between coral heads. The shallow reefs are also great areas to find lounging whitetip reef sharks and resting crocodile fish. On every dive at Sipadan expect to encounter turtles munching on sponges and algae, sleeping on ledges, or simply moseying around.Originally popularized by famed sea-explorer Jacques Cousteau, Sipadan is undoubtedly one of the premiere dive destinations in the world.

The Stay

The Resort is an eco-friendly, located on Mabul Island, just a hop and a skip away from world-famous Sipadan National Park...

​

Mabul is a small island on Sabah’s east coast. You can stroll around the whole island in under an hour. There are limited facilities here - in the village you will find some small stalls selling things as snacks and cigarettes, but there are no supermarkets on the island. These small shops are all cash only, please note there are no ATM’s or money exchange facilities on the island so it is best to bring some pocket money from Semporna.

There is a small retail shop in the resort for souvenirs, toiletries and dive accessories, but if you are looking for something specific, it is better to buy on the mainland before reaching the island.
