My name is Norila, my friends call me 'lala'.I came from Sabah.I don't interested to talk myself but i interested to talk about beautiful islands off the coast of Sabah.The combination of soft sand under your feet, the tropical heat on your skin and blue green waters of the sea is nothing short of romantic.Sabah is home to many islands escape, some renowed for their diving sites while others are perfect for doing nothing at all.
Tunku Abdul Rahman Park
Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, the nearest group of islands to Kota Kinabalu is made up of five islands - Manukan, Mamutik and Sapi and Sulug.Manukan, Mamutik and Sapi are popular picks, famous for water sports.Sapi and Sulug are ideal sunbathing and a lazy out while Gaya's charm lies in its resorts.
Mabul Island
Semporna is the gateaway to some of the best dive sports and breathtaking beaches in the region.For avid divers, Mabul should be on your list (right next to Sipadan).Great for muck diving, it is one of the best macro dive sits in the world.A seasoned scuba diver from US once said "It's like being in an aquarium!" Mabul also has some of the best island resorts.
Kapalai Island
Kapalai isn't quite an island.This floating marvel (also off the coast of Semporna) is made up of stunning water bungalows connected by an extensive wooden boardwalk.The water is so clear that visitors can spend hours mesmerised by the marine life below, from beatiful lionfish to graceful squid.
Mataking Island
Mataking is located furthest from the coast of Sabah, but one-hour journey by speedboat is worth every minute.At the Mataking Dive Resort, you will be treated like royalty.Mataking is great dive spots too and so totally romantic.Imagine taking long walks with a loved one along the sandback at low tide or breeze caressing your face.
