Top choice in Sabah


With flower-filled lawns, this charming accommodation has lovely chalets with wood floors and boutique accents, clustered around the pool. The restaurant is terrific, the lounge open and comfy and the staff ever-friendly. Is involved in turtle conservation and offers 14 Sipadan permits daily.

Runs one of the archipelago's best dive centres; Borneo Divers introduced Cousteau to Sipadan back in '89.
