Kapalai Dive Resort is located on the sea just fifteen minutes away from Sipadan. It is a unique “Water Village” Resort, offering guests excellent rooms and fantastic serenity of the surrounding sea, combined with first class macro world diving around more than thirty dive sites.

A few minutes by boat from Sipadan but a full world away from it lays the exhilarating Sipadan-Kapalai Dive Resort, sitting on its sturdy stilts on shallow sandbanks of the Ligitan Reefs. Planned and built in full style as an airy, comfortable, sunny water village with no land in sight – but boasting a mile-long sandbank of powdery blindingly white sand where one can suntan at complete leisure – the Resort offers great food, surprisingly roomy and elegant twin-sharing wooden chalets with huge private balconies and attached bathrooms and a couple of miles of walkway for those who like to take their morning jog while looking at thousands of fish just a few inches beneath their feet. Meals are served in the terraced, open central structure, while a big western sundeck allows divers to have an evening drink or an after-dive chat with a background of fabulous tropical sunsets. Diving around is exceedingly easy and shallow but quite spectacular; the sandy bottom and coral heads host an amazing array of small, yet to be classified, shamelessly colourful subjects, making the diving here an unforgettable experience for any discerning photographer. The Resort offers three dives a day plus, if requested, day trips at Sipadan & Mabul. Divers say “The best of two worlds; diving at Sipadan and the macro paradise of Kapalai”.
