Overview

Nestled just off the coast of Kota Kinabalu, Ara Dinawan Island is a hidden gem that offers a lesser-known, crowd-free alternative to Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park. Unlike the more frequented TARP islands, Ara Dinawan remains secluded and peaceful, providing an exclusive private beach retreat for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle. Getting here is effortless — just a 20-minute boat ride from Kota Kinabalu, making it one of the most accessible private island getaways in Sabah.

Once you arrive, you’ll step into a world of pristine beauty, where clean, white-sand beaches and crystal-clear waters invite you to unwind. This private island glamping experience offers luxurious tent villas with private ensuite bathrooms, hot showers, and organic toiletries, blending comfort with nature. Unlike other islands, Ara Dinawan is the only island connected to a freshwater pipe source from the mainland, ensuring clean water and a comfortable stay.

Whether you're exploring the vibrant underwater world, paddling along the coast on a kayak, or taking a sunset walk through the island’s lush landscapes, every moment here is a chance to reconnect with nature. As night falls, gather around a bonfire under a sky full of stars, letting the sounds of the ocean complete your perfect island escape.

Activities Included:

Boat and shore snorkelling, kayak, paddleboarding, canoe, private beach access, beach volleyball and football, sunset walk, bonfire, and access to the clubhouse with foosball, board games, and a pool table.
