EXPLORE

Lankayan Island, a tiny jewel in the Sulu Sea north of Sandakan, is part of a Marine Protected Area. This unpopulated paradise, covered in tropical vegetation, features elegant seafront chalets and pristine white sandy beaches. Ideal for tranquility seekers and families, it’s also a top diving destination with colourful macro fauna, fascinating wrecks, and seasonal whale sharks.

As part of the Sea Turtle Corridor, it offers opportunities to witness turtle nesting and hatchling releases, particularly from June to September.

Marine Conservation at Our Core

Lankayan is more than a tropical escape. It is part of a fully protected marine sanctuary where turtles nest, reefs bloom, and life thrives in every direction. Partnering with Reef Guardian, conservation work is at the heart of this island, shaping everything from daily operations to the experiences we share with guests. Here is how we help protect the wild beauty that makes Lankayan so special.

Find your haven in nature nestled among whispering trees or resting above the clear, gentle sea. Each chalet offers quiet luxury, crafted for comfort and closeness to the island’s tranquil heart.
