This beautiful resort is built over the water, based on Bajau architechtural design, offering diving around Sipadan, Mabul & Kapalai.

Each of the 45 cottages has a private sundeck and modern amenities, a perfect place to relax and unwind after a day spent exploring the local reefs.

The Bajau Laut, the world's only tribe of nomadic sea gypsies spend their lives on the water. Over the years, some have entered a transition from sea nomadic to sedentary village life at former major anchorage sites such as Mabul and their style of architechture inspires this resort.

Diving packages include up to three guided boat dives on the reefs of Mabul, Kapalai and Sipadan (if permit is granted). There is also the option to see what's on your doorstep with unlimited diving on the house reef. The resort is PADI affiliated. Non-divers can snorkel or hire a Molokini Kayak to explore the reefs without even getting wet in these glass bottomed boats.
