AN ENCHANTING ESCAPE
The wildlife may be the main draw, but Borneo’s exquisite coastline and collection of idyllic islands are just as impressive. Whether you want to swim with turtles, escape to a deserted island paradise or hike through tropical rainforest, you’ll find your ultimate beach escape here.
Many of Borneo’s tropical islands are located within the protected ‘turtle corridor’ which makes diving here a real treat.
Only a stone’s throw away from the coast of Kota Kinabalu, the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park encompasses five islands. The largest, Gaya, is a heavenly retreat complete with stunning, untrodden beaches and crystal waters protected by immaculate coral reefs. Explore the island’s ancient rainforests on foot to spot monitor lizards, long-tailed macaques and rare birds.
For those who want to witness the magic of turtle landings, the aptly named Turtle Island National Park is a must. Encompassing three islands, Selingan Island is one of the best locations to observe the landings with hundreds of hawksbills and green turtles coming ashore to nest.
If you dream of getting away from it all, look no further than the jewel of the Sulu Sea: Lankayan Island. Small, secluded and serene, this is the ultimate luxury hideaway. The ribbon of white sand that surrounds the island lends itself well for total relaxation, whilst the protected waters offer some excellent snorkelling. The calm waters make it a great place for beginner divers, with opportunities to explore sunken wrecks and swim amongst whale sharks and marbled rays.
