The beautiful island of Lankayan, located 1 hour from Sandakan in Malaysian Borneo is reminiscent of the Maldives.

To get to Lankayan Resort, if you are from the Kota Kinabalu Airport in Sabah take one flight to Sandakan and then a boat ride to the Lankayan island. With the resort being the island itself, you can find yourself isolated from the busy world to a place full of tranquility and pleasure; it’s like being in the show ‘Survivor’, minus the dirty challenges and eliminations. How awesome is that!

The main activity in this island is scuba diving. This resort offers two types of packages, for divers and non-divers, if you are a diehard diver, this is just the thing for you; and don’t even worry if it’s your first time diving, as diving lessons are taught to you before you go dipping in the water. You might also want to experience watching turtles nesting their eggs or see hatchings of the baby turtles. If you happen to be vacationing on June through September, you might be one of the lucky ones to experience one of the miracles of life!
