Sipadan-Kapalai

Sipadan and Sipadan-Kapalai Resort are able to provide the adventurous diver with the experience of a lifetime. Sipadan and Sipadan-Kapalai (often referred to as Kapalai) are separated a few minutes by boat.

Kapalai (the resort) sits on sturdy stilts on the shallow sandbanks of the Ligitan Reefs. The resort was planned and built as an airy, comfortable, sunny water village with no land in sight. The resort boasts a mile-long sandbank of powdery, blindingly white sand, where one can suntan at complete leisure.

The resort offers great food, roomy and elegant twin-sharing wooden chalets with large private balconies and attached bathrooms. Other accommodation offers views of thousands of fish just a few inches away.

At the Resort, meals are served in the terraced, open central structure. On a big western sundeck, divers can have an evening drink or an after-dive chat, with the background of a fabulous tropical sunset.

Diving at Kapalai is exceedingly easy; the sandy bottom and the spare coral heads host an amazing array of small, often unnamed, colourful subjects, making the diving an unforgettable experience for any discerning diver. The resort offers three dives a day plus, if requested, day trips at Sipadan.

Sipadan is a private island that is frequented by those staying at Kapalai. Sipadan is a small tropical island rising from a 700-metre abyss in the Celebes Sea. It is a protected oasis whereby visitors from Kapalai can explore what is consider to be one of the top 5 diving destinations in the world which lies just minutes by speedboat from the island. Dive among barracudas, hammerhead sharks, millions of technicoloured reef fish and, above all, sea turtles swimming everywhere.
