About Mabul

The Mabul Budget Travel Guide is written to pool together and share useful information about this lovely island in Sabah with other budget travellers who are planning a trip there.

Pulau Mabul is an oval-shaped island off the southeastern coast of Sabah. It sits in the sea on a 2 square kilometer base of coral reef. Although Pulau Mabul initially gained popularity due to its proximity to Pulau Sipadan, it has since held its own as the destination with one of the richest concentration of marine life in the world. It is considered the best place in the world for muck diving.
