Sipadan
Water Village is located on the island of Mabul. This small island
surrounded by sandy beaches and perched on the northwest corner of a
larger 200-hecter reef is notably known as one of the worlds best
"muck-diving" sites. The reef is on the edge of a continental shelf and
the seabed surrounding the reef slopes out to 75 to 100 feet deep.
Mabul
is arguably one of the riches single destinations for exotic small marine
life anywhere in the world. Flamboyant cuttlefish, blue-ringed octopus,
mimic octopus and bobtail squids are just a few of the numerous types of
cephalapods found. The sight of harlequin shrimp feeding on sea stars and
boxer crabs waving their tiny anemone pom-poms are just a small example of
the endless species of crustaceans. The list seemingly endless, it would
be easier to list the species not found at Mabul - crazy critters are in
abundance at this magical macro site!
The
architectural design of the 45 water chalets reflects the incluence of the
local Bajau style. The resort is located on a part of the island where it
is sheltered from the storm. The floor of the water cottages is less than
1 meter above the high water mark. The chalets are spacious with wide
sliding doors that open onto the room's private deck.
The
open-air restaurant has a seating capacity of 150 people at one time.
Meals are served in buffet style featuring a mixture of local and
continental cuisine. The bar lounge located in the main building next to
the reception counter is open from 0900hrs until midnight.
