This Overwater Villa in Semporna is Absolutely Divine!

You can truly experience island vacation freedom in Semporna.

Among the island resorts in Semporna, Kapalai stands out as one of the best!
▪️ It operates on a "one island, one resort" concept, offering great privacy and exclusive access to a stretch of ocean.
▪️ The crystal-clear "jelly sea" 🌊 rivals that of the Maldives, with breathtakingly beautiful scenery.
▪️ The underwater world is equally stunning, teeming with adorable fish 🐟 and vibrant corals 🪸.
▪️ Relaxing on the deck chair of your overwater villa, you can enjoy both sunrise 🌅 and sunset views.

Kapalai Resort offers only one type of accommodation, so there's no need to stress over room selection. Each room is a standalone wooden villa equipped with an open-air balcony, deck chairs, air conditioning, and a bathtub. Room numbers are assigned randomly (if unsatisfied, you can request a room change at the front desk on the first night).
▪️ Rooms 1-50 are older, with a more traditional style and slightly dated facilities. They are close to the public areas and restaurant, making dining and snorkeling very convenient. At night, you can spot many sea turtles.
▪️ Rooms 51-73 include honeymoon suites (rooms 52-61), which are well-equipped and located in the middle of the sea, far from other rooms for better privacy. The balcony offers a fantastic view, perfect for watching the sunrise.
▪️ Rooms 74-90 are newly built with modern, minimalist European-style decor. They are near the man-made beach, where you can see a sandbar during low tide.

🚢 Boat ride: About 45 minutes from Semporna town.
🔥 Facilities: Includes a man-made beach, overwater restaurant, hammocks, viewing decks, glass-bottom boats, and a snorkeling center.
🍱 Dining: All meals are buffet-style. Personally, I find the taste average.

⛱️ The resort operates on an all-inclusive basis, covering:
✔ 3D2N stay at the Semporna overwater villa.
✔ Transfers to and from Tawau Airport.
✔ Three buffet meals a day (suitable for all dietary preferences).
✔ Afternoon tea, coffee, tea, and drinking water provided at the restaurant.
✔ Unlimited free snorkeling at the resort's dive center (equipment rental fees apply).

Important notes:
🌊 The internet at Kapalai overwater villas is not great, so download some books or games in advance.
🌊 Kapalai overwater villas are very popular during peak seasons, so it's best to book in advance to secure a room.
🌊 When snorkeling 🤿, avoid dangerous actions and do not touch marine life to prevent unnecessary harm.
