Borneo Divers Mabul Resort
Borneo Divers Mabul Resort is the longest established dive operation in the Celebes Sea and great base for the amazing diving around Sipadan and Mabul. The resort occupies a beautiful stretch of white sandy beach on Mabul Island with easy access to effortless shore and boat diving. There are 30 semi-detached tropically themed chalets. Each chalet has two deluxe rooms with either twin or double sized beds and a private verandah overlooking the Celebes Sea. These comfortable chalets are constructed of beautiful hardwoods in the traditional local style. Ceiling fans and balmy tropical breezes provide ample cooling, but each chalet is also fully air-conditioned for maximum comfort. Amenities such as coffee/tea making facilities, hair dryer and reading lamps are available in all deluxe rooms.
At the heart of Borneo Divers Mabul Resort is the modern, fully equipped PADI 5 Star Dive Center offering the best training and diving facilities on the island. The dive center offers regularly scheduled dives to Sipadan and Mabul, less than 20 minutes away, including the walls and reefs of Sipadan Jetty and eerie Turtle Tomb. With access to over 150 dive and snorkel sites in the pristine waters surrounding these islands and unlimited house reef shore dives, divers of all levels will be blown away.
The resort has a truly fun and friendly vibe. When you are not exploring the walls, reefs and muck, relax by the pool or grab a cocktail at the beach bar and share fish stories with new pals. There’s also a gazebo beach spa to get a bit of pampering. Meals are served buffet style at the central restaurant with an array of tasty local and international dishes to choose from. Every night is fun with either cultural dance performances, beach BBQs, karaoke contests and more. Or, you may opt to hang on your private verandah and star gaze. If you feel you must connect with home, the Business Center has WiFi and there’s a TV lounge next to the restaurant.
Borneo Divers is located on the Southeastern coast of Sabah, Malaysia in the Celebes Sea, about 20 minutes from Sipadan and 30-40 minutes from Semporna by boat. To get there fly with Malaysian Airlines via Kuala Lumpur or Kota Kinabalu to Tawau. The bus ride from Tawau to Semporna takes about 1 hour. Welcome to paradise!
