It is draped with quaint chalets on stilts overlooking the picturesque view of the ocean. Just a few minutes of boat ride from nearby island Mabul and Sipadan, world’s renown dive spots, diving is one of the highlights. For those who do not dive, spend your days lounging on the beach, swimming, snorkeling as well as ocean kayaking is just as incredible too.
