Sutera @ Mantanani Island Resort & Spa

Sutera @ Mantanani Resort is the kind of place where time slows down. Comfy air-conditioned rooms, a beautiful stretch of sandy beach, and the sparkling blue sea just steps away. I spent my days snorkeling among colorful fish, kayaking in calm waters, and enjoying island-hopping trips. The restaurant and bar kept me well-fed and refreshed, and the friendly staff made the stay feel extra special. A true hidden gem for anyone craving the ocean breeze, we even can see aKinabalu from the island.

Lovely, beautiful and peaceful anniversary getaway at Sutera @ Mantanani 💙🏝️ It was amazing! This is our 2nd trip to Sutera Mantanani. My husband brought me here once before, and that trip was soo nice that I have to surprise him with another trip to Sutera Mantanani. Kami stay di Deluxe Room atas spa – masih dapat gorgeous beachfront view, so tiap pagi bangun terus dengar bunyi ombak. Room clean & comfortable, ada aircon sama hot shower, tilam pun soft jadi tidur memang nyaman. Pagi-pagi Palau jalan pigi pantai, boleh nampak Gunung Kinabalu dari jauh – memang breathtaking oh. Kami enjoy snorkeling dalam air biru, kayaking tepi pantai, main layang2 sambil rasa angin laut, try ATV ride pusing sekitar kawasan, also kami ada buat batik sendiri (boleh bawa balik 🖌️🌺) sebagai kenangan. Malam ah, baring di pasir sambil tengok starry night ✨, dengar bunyi ombak – rasa peaceful betul. Breakfast okay saja, pilihan tidak begitu banyak, tapi cukup untuk start the day. Overall, memang berbaloi & akan recommend sama family and friends. 🌊

it’s a private island. me & my friends has a great peaceful weekend in sabah!

My stay at Sutera Mantanani was absolutely unforgettable. The hotel’s location is simply incredible—right by the ocean, with stunning sea views the moment you step outside. Waking up to the sound of waves and the sight of crystal-clear waters was pure bliss. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and designed to make the most of the natural beauty surrounding the hotel. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant and relaxing stay. Whether you’re looking to unwind on the beach or explore the island, this hotel is the perfect base for your trip. I highly recommend Sutera Mantanani to anyone seeking a peaceful getaway with breathtaking views. Can’t wait to return!

I was very expected to stay at 5 stars hotel on the beatiful island, but our room key was broken and we needed to stay outside nearly 1 houer in hot temperature when we arrived. We also found lot's of rubbish included cigarette butt just in front of our room. I asked hotel staff to clean up but they never did. The island is incredibly beatiful, but I was very disappointed with this hotel. I want them to improve, because it's 5 stars hotel.
