Exotic Island Getaway

Layang Layang Island, a coral atoll that is truly one of nature’s best creations. Dubbed as “The Jewel of Borneo Banks”, Layang Layang reveals, to many delights of the things dreams are made of… a truly magical marine kingdom of bottomless blue decorated with a kaleidoscope of nature’s most lavish seascape.

In the middle of ancient South China Sea, 300km North West off the coast of Sabah, Layang Layang lay like a beautiful emerald kissed by the sun and teased playfully by the winds. Time and tide has linked 13 coral reefs to form a languid lagoon with just a fraction of it breaking the calm surface of the sea. This atoll is also the home to one of the most converted diving sites in the world

On this sliver of land lies a modest but complete resort - the three-star Layang Layang Island Resort. It consists of 76 superior rooms as well as 10 deluxe rooms. Made of tropical hardwood, it shares the look of a Longhouse, the traditional community homes of Borneo’s tribal people.

Rooms are comfortable enough and all are air-conditioned. Dining is a pleasure as a wide range of eastern and western cuisine are spread out for every meal at the restaurant. To ensure variety, daily menus are amended to ensure eating will be one other activity guests can look forward to regularly.

The in-house PADI dive centre is professionally-run by a team of experienced and qualified instructors. This team of six persons have hundreds of dives at Layang Layang between them.

Equipment in the dive centre includes 300 units of 80cu ft aluminium tanks, Bauer KAP180 compressors, 20 sets of BCDs and regulators (Scuba Pro), lots of fins, masks, booties, weights and belts. There are also ten Catamaran boats that brings divers to the sites between 10-30 minutes.

All divers must agree to the strict Environmental Conservation Programme set-up by the Dive Centre and are required to sign a Reef Conservation Policy prior to diving. PADI dive courses up to the divemaster level are conducted.

The swimming pool is a great spot to cool down, put your feet up with a book or get some drinks.

At the Raba Raba House, get yourself loosened up with a session of relaxing body massage and foot reflexology. Experts are on hand to get you all refreshed.

Layang Layang Island Resort can also cater to seminars, meetings, conferences and incentive group functions. There are adequate conference and banqueting facilities, with the ability to host up to 200 persons.
