The unique outcrop that is Layang Layang, consists of 13 corals reefs, offering mind boggling underwater scenery, and provides the staple of Layang Layang’s offerings; a diving holiday like no other.

With thousands of dives at Layang Layang between them, the diving team is ready to lead you to the most stunning dive sites on the wall with the 2,000m drop where viz is usually between 30 and 60m.

Layang Layang Island Resort Facilities
Other than diving, the lagoon is great for snorkeling or just a swim.
If you prefer your swimming water a little less lively, the resort’s infinity pool is perfect for a cool-down, reading a book or drinking a couple of tropical cocktails.
A massage centre with experienced masseurs provides a soothing distraction to help you relax or get rid of any tension that may have followed you to paradise.
The island resort’s facilities are big enough to host up to 200 people for seminars, meetings, banquets, conference or any kind of incentive group function.
For a bit of distraction from all things fish, Bird Island turns your attention to the skies. Countless migratory birds use the lagoon’s surroundings as a perfectly predator free pit stop.
Crested terns, egrets, brown foot boobies, swallows and many other birds take a breather on Layang Layang after long journeys.
Here they nest and all sorts of interesting bird interactions can be observed, making the island a haven for birdwatchers too.
