Monthly Rentals in Sipadan Island

WOW - an amazing 5D/4N. 5 glorious days of relaxing: 2+h snorkeling trips every morning & even longer trips in the afternoons, fishing from the "flying banana", swimming with green turtles, evenings chilling on a private deck in the hammocks or ocean swing & just time to breathe & discover island life (outside of the westernised veneer of the resorts). It takes less than 30min to circumnavigate Mabul at a leisurely pace. We met Reed & Nor as hosts & guests but became friends. With no running hot water (that said the cold showers were refreshing & very welcome), no air con (in 39+ C but fans in our bedroom with a full opening wall to the deck provided more than adequate ventilation) & sporadic electricity it is not for everyone but adds to the authenticity of living on the island (& with power banks was no issue at all). Al (boat driver & turtle spotter 🐢 extrodinaire) & Ry (house helper) couldn't have been kinder when stepping up to run lodge unexpectedly. Amazing meals & perfect stay

We - my 20 year old son & I - were two on Borneorundreise & made a stop in Mabul for some diving. Our choice for the property fell on the Mabul Paradies Lodge. Very authentic. Great host David (The Boss) with extremely friendly & helpful staff. All dives were perfectly organized & the diving instructor Eddie & his Dive Master Nelson were great. The typical Asian food was top & could be greatly upgraded by buying freshly caught seafood & fishing. The seafood & fish were prepared extremely deliciously by the in-house kitchen at the desired time. Sometimes David himself is in the kitchen. During our stay he prepared crabs and giant shrimp as well as a Chinese soup & invited us to eat with it. All by family recipe; delicious!!! We will be happy to come back. Our expectations were more than met. We felt very comfortable with David & his team.
