Layang Layang is a small atoll in the middle of the South China Sea belonging to Malaysia. On the artificially enlarged island is a bird sanctuary, a runway stretching across the entire island, a small naval base and the dive resort. There is no beach and no house reef on the island. Layang Layang Island Resort is the only resort and diving operator available on this small coral atoll. The resort is closed from September through to February (incl.) each year.
Facilities and accommodation
There are 76 Standard rooms with double or twin beds and 10 Deluxe Suites, all constructed from tropical hardwoods. All rooms have a private terrace, air conditioning with individual controls, telephone, house video, fridge, cable TV and a bathroom. It is a quite comfortable resort with swimming pool, restaurant and bar. Complimentary coffee and tea making facilities are available in all rooms.
Five buffet meals are offered daily. The kitchen serves a good variety of dishes. In the evening you can go to the bar to end the dive day with music and drinks. There is also a large swimming pool and the opportunity for windsurfing and kayaking.
We think…
This remote atoll is worth a dive trip. Be aware it is a pretty big resort and it can be very crowded here at times, not only on land but also under water.
