    WHAT KAPALAI GUESTS SAY

    This place is fantastic beyond words. The snorkeling was superb and more than we ever could have asked for –we saw turtles, rays and so much more right below our bungalow. The professional and friendly staff added greatly to the experience.

    Beijing
    The resort is beautiful – luxury, exclusive and serene – with magnificent views of the sea from our chalet. It was easy to unwind at Kapalai and the diving to nearby Mabul and Sipadan Islands just added to the experience.
