LAYANG-LAYANG ISLAND

LAYANG-LAYANG ISLAND Off the mystical island of Borneo lies a little gem, a sparkle within the deep blue sea. Like a mariner's dream, it stands all alone, a striking haven in the wide ocean awaiting a visitor.

This is the intriguing island of Layang Layang, a coral-blessed, deep sea atoll off the coast of Borneo, Malaysia. It's a refuge where a kaleidoscopic underwater world like no other exists. This marine heritage is a geographical wonder as well, with the atoll rising from the deep blue depth of 2,000m, hardly breaching the surface.

Also known as? The Jewel of the Borneo Banks, Layang Layang has created for itself a calm lagoon which teems with wildlife. As many as 13 coral reefs have formed here, creating magnetic underwater scenery. Diving is the pinnacle of Layang Layang's beautiful experience? Expect a vacation like no other on this isolated atoll.
