Larapan Water Village Semporna 仙本那乐乐棒水屋

The stay at Larapan was wonderful: clean, charming cottages, very comfortable beds, a terrace with a beautiful view, plus great varied food, and airport transfers included. Every day we sailed by boat to a nearby reef, could also tour the island with a crew member or join a pre‑organized trip, and pay an extra fee for other islands with even prettier reefs. The crew made sure we were satisfied each day. Thank you very much and highly recommend!

“Wonderful on-water accommodation for a perfect tropical ocean holiday.”

What a location – what an arrangement! The on‑water accommodation offers a sunrise view from a secluded balcony in your room. Air‑conditioning helps when it gets hot, but the sea breeze is usually enough. The setup of individual chalets and a central social/dining area feels wonderfully isolated in a tropical ocean paradise, yet all modern conveniences are available 24 hours a day. Every meal has plenty of local food served individually, so you can eat on your own time without pressure. The distance from Semporna is nice, the sea is clear and free of floating rubbish. Walkways are great for sunset strolls, and swimming and snorkeling are always fun. Short excursions to nearby scenic coral patches are available, with hotel staff guiding you if needed. The smaller room option is lovely for two people but can also accommodate more. The design is very thoughtful, with a secluded balcony, a well‑sized bathroom, and big windows to view the sea and sunrise from air‑conditioned comfort if desired. Friendly staff are always on hand if you need help arranging a swim, paddle‑board, or just want to chat about life in a tropical paradise. You’ll never be bored with the incredible variety of sea life in the water, and it’s even more wonderful after dark when lights illuminate the water around the village. It might seem a bit expensive, but the effort to build and sustain this little private water village makes it worth it. Communication with the hotel was easy and efficient via WhatsApp for arrival pickup at the airport and return. We had a few extra hours before our plane left and the hotel was also very helpful organizing a bit of sightseeing around Tawau. Truly the stuff of perfect memories. This is a very special place. The majority of visitors are Chinese, who tend to be a bit louder than Europeans when they’re having fun, so if you’re the only European in the village you might find it a bit noisy – but you can easily retreat to your room.

“It is a great stay, but the hotel can enhance it by offering better sea activities.”

The chef at Larapan Water Village cooked the best food we’ve ever had in Malaysia. The facilities are super clean. The view is truly fantastic. The staff are friendly and very hospitable. The leisure and sea activities are too limited.
