The One Mantanani Water Villa Day Trip combines clear blue waters, direct jetty snorkelling, complimentary water activities and overwater dining in one relaxed island escape. Located on quieter Mantanani Kecil, The One Mantanani offers a more private setting than the busier Mantanani Besar, with plenty of time to enjoy the island without following a tightly packed activity schedule.

Once you arrive, the day is largely yours to enjoy at your own pace. Snorkel directly from the jetty around coral, tropical fish and an underwater shipwreck, or explore the water by glass kayak, hydrobike or stand-up paddleboard. A buffet lunch is served at the overwater restaurant, with time afterwards to continue snorkelling, enjoy the activities, take photos or simply relax by the sea.

For those who want to explore underwater further, Discover Scuba Diving and certified fun dives are available as optional paid upgrades. Return transfers from Kota Kinabalu city hotels are included, making it an easy way to enjoy a full island day without arranging your own transport.

Mantanani Kecil

Part of the Mantanani Islands northwest of Kota Belud, Mantanani Kecil is known for its clear blue waters, tropical island scenery and quieter atmosphere. Compared with the more frequently visited Mantanani Besar, it offers a more peaceful setting for travellers who prefer a slower and less crowded island experience.

Surrounded by inviting waters and coastal scenery, Mantanani Kecil is well suited for snorkelling, water activities and relaxed time by the sea. Its quieter environment makes it a refreshing choice for travellers looking to enjoy the beauty of the Mantanani Islands at an easier pace.

The One Mantanani Water Villa

Set over the water just off Mantanani Kecil, The One Mantanani Water Villa is the only resort in the Mantanani Kecil area, offering a quieter and more private setting for a day trip. Surrounded by clear blue waters, the property features an overwater restaurant and direct access to the sea from its jetty.

One of its main highlights is the ability to snorkel directly from the jetty, where guests can explore coral, tropical fish and an underwater shipwreck at their own pace. Complimentary glass kayaking, hydrobiking and stand-up paddleboarding offer more ways to enjoy the water, while the free-and-easy format leaves plenty of time to relax, take photos and enjoy the surrounding sea views.
