The Layang Layang in Borneo Malaysia

Overview Of Layang Layang Island Resort

Off the mystical island of Borneo approximately 300km northwest of Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia lies a little gem within the deep blue sea, fondly known as “The Jewel of the Borneo Banks”.

This is the intriguing Layang Layang Island, a remote and exotic island in the wide ocean of South China Sea that offers undisturbed diving adventure in safe waters away from other popular dive destinations.

On this coral-blessed atoll rising from the deep blue of 2,000m lies a modest but complete resort - the Layang Layang. Designed and built along the concept of a traditional long house, the resort boasts of a unique local stay experience enveloped in modern comforts and convenience.
