Manukan Island

Manukan Island is located just off the coast of Kota Kinabalu, the capital city of Sabah. It is the second largest island of Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park and offers extensive water activities such as snorkelling, scuba diving, parasailing and other various water sports activities for those water sports enthusiasts. It also offers one of the best spots to catch Borneo’s famed sunset at the tip of the island called Sunset Point. Immerse yourself in a serene retreat as all premium villas and suites overlook the azure waters of the South China Sea.

What our guests say:

I didn’t expect much except for a swim during a one night stay. Not many people are aware that you could go for 30-minute trekking to watch the sunset at the sunset point. It was a fantastic view, which I thought was so much better than going for a snorkel. If you’re lucky, you’ll get to watch sharks even during the afternoon

We had one of a day trip to the island. We liked it so much, and decided to come back. We were allowed to check in earlier in Vila 4b and Vila 5b. I would like to thank Carl and Adamz, and the rest of the staff for giving us their time for this wonderful experience. For that, I would like to thank you for doing a great job. The rooms are very clean and roomy. Wi fi was good. Island was very quiet at this time. Thank you
Biljana
We stayed for 3 nights, a group of 4 friends. The island is beautiful and beach incredible and extremely clean. The rooms were wonder, very spacious and conformable. The staff were so friendly and always willing to help, they really added to our stay. The food at the restaurant was excellent but I woukd say the choices quite limited, I woukd suggest adding some more malaysian dishes 😊. But overall amazing!
