Introduction
Mari Mari Island, located in the northern waters of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia, consists of two islands, Small Mari Mari Island and Big Mari Mari Island, approximately ten kilometers apart and surrounded by the Sulu Sea. As part of the National Marine Park and the "Coral Triangle" attraction in Southeast Asia, Mari Mari Island boasts a long stretch of white sandy beach, simple fishermen, and swaying coconut trees, making it an ideal vacation destination. The island is surrounded by colorful coral reefs, which are unaffected by strong winds and waves, preserving the original coral appearance and becoming a paradise for "diving" and underwater macro photography enthusiasts.
In order to limit excessive development, the Sabah government has built only ten spacious independent villas on the island. In addition to clean white building walls, each villa has a private terrace for guests to enjoy the sea view and sunset throughout the day. With very few residents on the island, the starry night sky offers a calm and pleasant relaxation experience to be shared with family, loved ones, or friends.
Due to the limited number of villas, it is recommended to plan ahead if interested in booking an unbeatable sea view villa. Mari Mari Island implements an "all-inclusive island" plan: 24-hour free transportation to and from Kota Kinabalu International Airport and Kota Kinabalu hotels, accommodations, five meals, unlimited drinks and mineral water, diving equipment, professional coaching, double kayaks, and Chinese-speaking guides are all included in the price. Opening hours Open 24/7, all year round.
Transportation From Kota Kinabalu, Sabah's capital, to Jesselton Point takes about 2.5 hours by car, and from Jesselton Point to Manukan Island is about a 30-minute boat ride. Manukan Island provides free 24-hour shuttle service from Kota Kinabalu International Airport and round-trip transportation between various hotels in Kota Kinabalu and Manukan Island.
