Its name rolls off my tongue like a dream; and seeing it in the midst of the cobalt blue of the South China Sea likens to a beautiful jewel; a precious dream which I open my body, mind & soul to... the journey to my dream begins...
Layang Layang Island, a coral atoll that is truly one of nature's best creations. Dubbed ¡°The Jewel of the Borneo Banks¡±, Layang Layang reveals, to many People¡¯s delight the things dreams are made of... a truly magical marine kingdom of bottomless blue decorated with a kaleidoscope of nature's most lavish seascape.
In the middle of ancient South China Sea, 300kms North West off the coast of Sabah, Layang Layang lies like a beautiful emerald kissed by the sun and teased playfully by the winds. Time and tide has linked 13 coral reefs to form a languid lagoon with just a fraction of it breaking the calm surface of the sea. This atoll is also home to one of the most converted diving sites in the world.
Layang Layang Island Resort is a modest three-star resort with 76 rooms and 10 suites. Its tropical hardwood structures and the likeness of a traditional Longhouse exudes an unparalleled sense of hospitality and warmth.

Guests are impressed with the extensive variety of east meets west cuisine that is spread out at every meal at the in-house restaurant. Each day presents a new exciting array of dishes to ensure you will never get bored with the food. Fresh water for the resort comes from a desalination plant which offers crystal clear water.
As you venture further, you'll be greeted by a swimming pool in its full glory. It¡¯s clear water blends with the blue lagoon. Just take a break and let the gentle breeze caress your cares away.
Indulge in relaxing body massage and foot reflexology at the massage parlour known as the "Raba-Raba House". The expert masseuse will provide you with the most professional service imaginable.

Layang Layang is an atoll 14 sq. km. in diameter jutting 2000 metres from the Ocean depths. In 1985, the Malaysian Federal Government began reclamation work, creating a 50-acre island on one part of the reef.
Thus, what was once ardently known to East Malaysians as "Terumbu Layang Layang" or "Swallow's Reef" has now become Layang Layang Island.
