The Sipadan-Kapalai Resort (GPS N 04' 13.526 E 118' 41.105)
Entirely surrounded by water, the elegantly constructed wooden village of the Sipadan-Kapalai Resort is the ultimate escape. Wooden walkways are lined with the bright pink flowers of bougainvilleas and lead you to your chalet over crystal clear water.
The chalets are built to take full advantage of the surrounding natural beauty. Fresh breezes fill the rooms and oversized private decks offer uninterrupted sea views. The rooms are comfortably furnished and spacious, with colourful woven decorations adding a rustic, traditional touch.
While divers are within minutes of the legendary Sipadan, the underwater world in Kapalai is a real treat on its own. There is an abundance of macro subjects, many lurking in unique wrecks such as the old chalet that has been carefully sunk close to the dive centre’s jetty.
The restaurant serves three delicious buffet meals daily. Tables are set around an opening in the deck where you can spot large schools of fish passing by.
