Place:
Kapalai island
– The mere name conjures the image of crystal clear waters and a floating
paradise like no other. A 45-minute trip from Semporna by speedboat, Kapalai
island is one of the many beautiful diving havens in this part of the world.
However, Kapalai is truly unique because it is not quite an ‘island’.
The 40 chalets are built on high wooden stilts in the middle of
the ocean. Visitors can enjoy the sights of marine life in action as they
stroll along the boardwalk, a sturdy construction that connects the various
sections of the floating resort. The resort has 40 chalets, equipped with basic
amenities, including tea and coffee making facilities.
