Scuba Travel Guide - Layang Layang Island Resort

Layang Layang Island Resort - Malaysia

Layang Layang is a three star resort built out of tropical hardwood and architecturally modelled in the traditional longhouse style, offering you both comfort and a unique cultural perspective.

Easily the biggest drawcard for this island, is the world famous and enthralling encounters with schools of scalloped hammerhead sharks in its surrounding waters. Being lucky enough to watch a big school of hammerheads glide by is an experience that will live with you for a very long time, and makes the whole journey worthwhile.

But often overlooked by divers in their eagerness to catch sight of the sharks, is the other marine life on display. Mantas frequent this deep water area, and you just never know what might show up. Guests can enjoy unparalleled scuba diving as well as enjoy the sights and sounds of the protected bird park on the island.

Layang Layang Island Resort is the only diving operator and hotel accommodation available on this small coral atoll in the South China Sea. Numbers are very limited due to the low availability of flights, so if you want to share in this breathtaking wonder, we suggest you plan your trip well in advance - book early!
