Sipadan Mabul Dive Resort Mabul Water Bungalow is a 4-Star floating dive-resort situated at Mabul Island overlooking the world-renowned Sipadan Island which is 15-minutes away by speedboat.

These 16 wooden bungalow units are entirely built over water with stilts offer sheer comfort. Planned and built in style as an airy, comfortable, sunny water village with no land in sight, it boasts a mile-long sandbank of powdery white sand where one can suntan at complete leisure while gazing out to the miles of brilliant turquoise, stretching into the horizon offering the purest image of natural serenity. Dive spots are extremely close and can be reached in just a few minutes by speedboat and some of them just by swimming from the dive center pier. For those who are ready to explore more than the tiny marvels of Kapalai's macro life, can, in just a few minutes, dive in Sipadan (where big fish and turtles abound) or in Mabul (where silky and muddy bottoms offer different and equally pleasant experiences and opportunities to the lovers of "muck diving"). With a combination of sun and water in a unique and serene setting with friendly staff, Sipadan-Kapalai is an ideal destination for diver and non-diver alike seeking a great holiday experience!
