Do a little island hopping.
There are plenty to choose from and lots to do once you arrive. If you just want to claim a space on the beach and top up your tan then that’s fine – but if the mood takes you – then head into the water to dive with hammerhead sharks, bathe in pools of thick volcanic mud and take a stroll to see if you can spot the islands’ reptilian inhabitants. Many of the islands of note are close to Sabah Island and these include the exquisite Sipadan – a paradise of simplicity and astounding natural beauty, the tiny tropical coral fringed Lankayan Island and the otherworldly Mataking Island which is a favourite amongst honeymooners.
