Buzz
Forget about Kuala Lumpur, Penang, or Langkawi. Travel enthusiasts are now buzzing about a place dubbed the paradise of the underworld, or the Maldives of Malaysia – Mabul Island.
Springtime Adventure on the Heavenly Mabul Island – Malaysia
A Magical Realm where the Water is as Still as Glass
Mabul is a small island off the southeastern coast of Sabah state, part of northern Borneo and the second largest state in Malaysia. Located in a completely different region from the mainland states of Malaysia, reaching Mabul Island requires a flight to Tawau domestic airport in Semporna from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (approximately 3 hours) or Kota Kinabalu Airport – the capital of Sabah state (about 50 minutes).
Immerse Yourself in a Fairytale World with Floating Villages
Exploring this tiny island, your only mode of transportation will be on foot. There are no roads on Mabul Island, no vehicles to be found, so let your feet guide you to the picturesque floating villages.
A Diver's Paradise
With its crystal-clear waters, Mabul Island boasts continental shelf coral reefs ranging from 25 to 30 meters deep, teeming with countless marine species. Hence, this place is considered one of the most attractive diving spots in the world.
If you're seeking a uniquely enchanting destination that sets your heart aflutter, where your feet wander unwilling to return, then Mabul is it. A dreamlike island with gentle waves caressing the shore, with sunsets painting the sky in vibrant hues over the stilt houses, with the midnight sky twinkling with a myriad of stars… inviting adventurous souls to explore and experience new lands. Mabul is the ideal destination for this spring.
