With wooden chalets set on stilts over the turquoise waters of the Celebes Sea, Sisipan Resort is designed for those who want to disconnect, snorkel off the jetty, and just enjoy the rhythm of the life at sea far from the busy town of Semporna.
Sea First, Comfort Always
Sisipan Island Resort may be modest in design, but it excels in peace and privacy. The overwater bungalows are basic but charming, with sea breezes, wide balconies, and views that stretch into endless blue. It's not about polished luxury — it's about slowing down, breathing in the salt air, and watching the sky change color at dusk.
The chalets include air-conditioning, private bathrooms and sea view balcony. You won't find flat-screen TVs here — but what you do get is the calming rythm of the tide, the beautiful colors of the sunrise and sunset, the majestic Bohey Dulang Island in the distance and the occasional splash of a jumping fish.
Snorkel and Float in Crystal Waters
Slip into the water right from your chalet steps or the main jetty — no boats required. Sisipan's waters are calm and clear, perfect for beginner snorkelers or those who just want to float among coral gardens and vibrant reef fish. It's a great spot to reconnect with nature without crowds or schedules.
Perfect Launchpad for Island Hopping
From Sisipan, you can arrange day trips to the Tun Sakaran Marine Park islands such as Bohey Dulang and Sibuan. We can help coordinate boat transfers, or help you plan a combo itinerary that includes multiple island stays. Hiking, trekking, snorkeling and excursions such as a visit to the Sea Gypsies (Bajaut Laut) villages.
Extend Your Journey to Mabul and Sipadan
Scuba divers and snorkelers alike often chose Sisipan Island Resort as a peaceful romantic stop before exploring the islands of Pulau Mabul and Pulau Sipadan. Instead of just staying in the overcrowded port town of Semporna at the start ora at the end of your trip, it's an ideal way to start your Sipadan journey gently or decompress after days of scuba diving. Stay a night or two here before heading to the world famous diving destination of Mabul, Kapalai and Sipadan.
Don't forget to book your Sipadan permits in advance are they are limited (we can help you arrange the permits in advance). Ask us if you'd like help planning a combination journey of a night or two at Sisipan first, a full day island hopping the Tun Sakaran Marine Park and then moving onward to Mabul and Sipadan with a diving or non-diving snorkeling package.
