What is it like at Lankayan Island Dive Resort?

Despite its remoteness, Lankayan Island Dive Resort is proud to offer all the amenities of a full service tropical resort. Visitors stay in simple and elegant beachfront bungalows, made out of local wooden materials that blend into the natural surroundings. Each chalet is well appointed, with hot running water and private bathroom facilities. Power is available in both 220 V or 110 V.

Meals at the resort are excellent. Fresh fruit and some of the most delicious seafood you've ever eaten is served informally in the central restaurant. Adjacent is a beautiful open-air wooden terrace which is the ideal spot for relaxing and chatting after dinner... all the while admiring the dozens of juvenile blacktip sharks swimming leisurely a few feet beneath.

After your day of diving, the place for relaxation is the upper lounge that overlooks the western beach and jetty. Here, the visitor can enjoy some sun with a favorite cool drink. A TV room is available for viewing the day's video shots or other footage, and a small over the counter shop offers film, batteries and toiletries.

Pelagics also abound here. Large schools of yellow tail barracudas, jacks, and large bumphead parrotfish are always exciting to encounter.
