Description

Tucked away in the middle of the South China Sea is a secret paradise familiar only to a handful of savvy locals. A 20 minutes boat ride from Kota Kinabalu will get you to the sea-horse shaped island, known by the locals as Dinawan Island. It is the ultimate island getaway experience: pristine beaches, crystal clear water and unexplored forests.

This private island offers everything one could wish for: untouched nature, eco-friendly facilities and, above all... the luxury of peace. Whether you're here for the sun or for the fun, let us cater to all your envies. Spend your day lazed under a coconut tree, watching the world goes by... or go snorkeling and kayaking. Dinawan island is a hidden jewel for you to enjoy.
