While guests can admire the sea front of the Hotel and the lifestyle of Sea Bajaus going about their normal life, one can sees a clash of time zone. From the modern speedboats slashing through the sea with their powerful outboard engines, to boats still depending on brut force and wind force to move the boat forward.

This unique mixture has developed a rare and valuable experience for travelers around the world. Sempoma is a small modern fishing village, rich with various culture and ethnics groups. The tranquility of Sipadan Island located just 45 minutes speedboat ride provides and ever colorful sea life always has away to soften even the hardest heart.

Semporna is a transit point for tourists before proceeding offshore by boats to some of the country's finest diving sites including the world-renowned Sipadan Island and Mabul Island.

 

Travelers either can take an 8-hour drive from the capital city of Kota Kinabalu or take a short brief 45 minutes flight via Tawau International Airport to Semporna. Both have its own attraction. By land, travelers will travel right across the continent of Sabah and through it, travelers will have the privilege to see and experience the wilderness of Sabah. By air, one will able to chance upon the highest peak in South East Asia, the Majestic Mount Kinabalu.
