About Borneo Divers Mamutik
About Borneo Divers Mamutik
Mamutik Island Resort is a recently renovated resort on the island of Mamutik, right in the heart of the Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park. This newly-opened resort is operated by Borneo Divers – a highly professional dive centre with decades of experience in the area. Located just steps from the sea, this property is an excellent option for guests who don't want to deal with a daily commute to and from Kota Kinabalu or a neighbouring island. And, with a partner dive centre in Mabul, Borneo Divers expert team is happy to help you plan a full-on diving adventure on both sides of Sabah.
Mamutik Island Resort provides guests with a choice between two distinct accommodation wings: the Ocean Wing and the Ara Wing. Together, these two wings offer a total of 58 well-appointed rooms. The Ocean Wing features 16 king deluxe rooms and 16 twin deluxe rooms, all boasting stunning sea views from private balconies and equipped with modern amenities for a luxurious stay. On the other hand, the Ara Wing offers 26 standard twin rooms designed for comfort and relaxation, ensuring a pleasant retreat amid the tranquil surroundings of Mamutik Island.
Resort Facilities
With little infrastructure on this tiny island, Mamutik Island Resort comes well-equipped with its own onsite restaurant, offering a choice of either indoor or alfresco seating. Meals here include a wide variety of local and international options to suit a variety of tastes, and there are always plenty of different dishes to choose from. An onsite bar is also available for post dive refreshments and evening sundowners, while the karaoke facilities are sure to increase camaraderie amongst the guests. What’s more, Mamutik Island Resort features its own on site convenience store, ensuring visitors have access to a range of basic essentials throughout their stay.
The resort’s swimming pool provides a popular hang-out for guests during surface intervals, while the sandy beach and inviting waters are just a few steps away. Mamutik Island Resort can also organise a wide range of activities, including local watersports such as snorkelling, kayaking, jet skiing, and banana boating, as well as boat excursions and island hopping. If you're looking for peace and quiet, you'll find plenty of that around the resort too, with quiet jungle paths and secluded beaches waiting to be explored.
Dive Centre Facilities
Borneo Divers offers some of the region's most comfortable facilities for students. Air-conditioned classrooms, a spacious training pool, recently serviced high-end equipment, and an international team of PADI instructors and divemasters make this a great place to learn! Plus, Borneo Divers operates its own fleet of speedboats, making transfers and trips out to the park's dive sites a breeze.
In addition to courses, this dive centre also offers scheduled day trips to all of the national park's sites, in search of colourful corals and reef fish, plus cool macro wildlife. And, during March and April, they run seasonal snorkelling expeditions in search of the park's famous migratory giants – whale sharks. No matter which of their programs you plan to take part in, each activity will start with a professional classroom session or briefing, followed by a detailed dive or snorkelling plan.
The reefs along Kota Kinabalu's northern coast and throughout the national park offer calm water and good visibility, with a sloping mix of coral gardens, rubble, and silt. Short boat rides, options for shore diving, and relaxed dive conditions make this one of Sabah's best areas for newbies. Underwater photographers and macro fanatics will also find plenty to see and do underwater in the park's sand and rubble sites, perfect for finding some of Malaysia's coolest critters.
