Escape to Mantanani Island for an unforgettable four-day sustainable getaway. Immerse yourself in turquoise waters, participate in local sustainability initiatives and indulge in fresh island cuisine. Choose to relax with sun-soaked leisure or explore a variety of experiences offered at the Mantanani Island resort.
The adventure begins with a private pickup from either Kota Kinabalu International Airport or a city hotel, followed by a scenic drive to JSK Rampayan Jetty. Upon arrival by 1:15 PM, guests board a boat for a picturesque 30 to 45-minute crossing over shimmering waters, arriving at JSK Mantanani Island Resort by mid-afternoon.
After check-in around 3:00 PM, the remainder of the afternoon is left at leisure. Guests may choose to unwind on the soft sandy beach, swim in the island’s turquoise waters or simply soak in the tropical views. For those seeking activities, the resort offers a cultural dance workshop, a variety of sports and recreation options or the chance to experience the island’s charm through a Sunset Village Walk or a tranquil Sunset Cruise (available for an extra charge).
As the day draws to a close, guests will gather for a welcome dinner at the Waterfront Restaurant, enjoying the sea breeze and the island’s relaxed atmosphere.

đ Dinner
After an early breakfast at the resort from 6:30 AM, guests will spend a rewarding day on Mantanani Island, learning how the local community is building a more sustainable future through the Sustainable Island Life: Plastic to Purpose programme with Reef Check.
From 9:00 AM to about 3:00 PM, the journey begins at the island’s Plastic Recycling Centre, where guests will meet community members working together to manage waste. They will join in sorting and baling collected plastic before using some of it to create their own upcycled fridge magnet, a fun, hands-on way to see recycling in action.
After a simple local lunch at the village—seafood-based with vegetarian options available—guests will visit a women-led social enterprise that turns locally grown coconuts into natural lip balms and soaps. They will observe how traditional methods are used to make these everyday products and may even try making some themselves.
This meaningful experience offers an opportunity to connect with the people of Mantanani Island, gain insight into their way of life and support their efforts to protect the island while creating sustainable livelihoods.
In the evening, dinner will be served at the resort, followed by free time at leisure.
