With such attention grabbing jungles and wildlife, Borneo's beaches aren’t the first thing that come to mind to those planning a Borneo holiday, but with it’s gorgeous gently curving bays backed by lush rainforest, and some of the best diving opportunities in the world, it’s hard to think of a more perfect beach destination. 

For a magical mix of exotic marine life and flawless stretches of sand we just love Borneo Eagle Resort, nestled on the private island of Pulau Tiga off the western coast of Sabah. The surrounding waters are part of a marine reserve, which has ensured the safety of the native biodiversity.

If you are after a real diving Mecca then head to Mataking, an incredible resort with access to the famous Sipadan dive site, one of the top 5 diving destinations in the world! Mataking is great for a family holiday with a white sandy beach and myriad activities on offer. Here you can submerse yourself in a world of parrotfish, barracudas, turtles, manta rays and tuna. The waters here are also home to an underwater "post office" – an artifical reef created to serve as a home for the marine life here.
