With its crystal-clear waters and powdery white sand beaches, it's a haven for snorkelers and beach lovers.

Private Island 🏝️JSK Hotel Mantanani

#wheretogo #beachlife #malaysia #sabah #mantananiisland 🏝️Address - Mantanani Island is located near Kota Kinabalu. When I say near, it’s 2 hours drive plus 40 minutes by water. Limited number of visitors are allowed on island per day, so mostly only the visitors of the hotels are permitted. For those who enjoy private beach, it’s your choice 🤿Highlights - Snorkeling are part of the hotel experience, they will provide guide and take you to the snorkeling spot. Water is not so clear in Oct, but various tropical fish and carols are awesome 🐠🐠🐟🐟🐡🐡 🌅Sunset view you cannot miss. Hotel has guide that could lead you to the opposite beach on islands to enjoy the sunset there. I took the bicycle and the ride was fabulous 🚴‍♀️ 🌌Nighttime laying on beach we see the beautiful stars 💰Avg. Price per Person - 200 SGD per person including meals and transportation to hotel

I'm not really a fan of islands or beaches because I can't stand the hot weather and I have a fear of getting tan. But I can't deny that my perspective changed completely after I had my chance to foot down in Mantanani Island. Oh my god the combination picture of the ocean and sky was sooo beautiful. I wish I had booked an overnight trip instead of going back to mainland on the same day. #travel #holiday #island #awesomepic

working more hours and taking less time off, bringing on various mental and physical health challenges. When work is overwhelming and your work-life balance feels out of whack, it’s time to ask yourself, “Should I go on vacation?” Taking a vacation offers many health benefits, but there are factors preventing people from taking a break. For example, layoffs and lean staffing make it difficult for people doing the work to get away. Some fear that taking a vacation will make them appear less committed than coworkers. The seven health benefits of taking a vacation outweigh the stressors that can come with planning a getaway. Studies have shown that taking time away from the job can have physical and mental health benefits. People who take vacations have lower stress, less risk of heart disease, a better outlook on life, and more motivation to achieve goals. If you still need a little convincing, here is a list of some of the additional benefits of taking time away from work.#couplestrip #staycation

Nahandang Homestay & Campsite - Melangkap, KB

#bucketlistreboot #sabah #camping #mountkinabalu #gooutside Kota Belud is now very famous as a beautiful and safe "camping" location in Sabah. We found Nahandang Homestay & Campsite on instagram. At first, we hesitated to camp because we will be running the marathon and have no time to enjoy but when we arrived, the view is sooooo worth all the hassle. The mount Kinabalu or known as Akinabalu to the local Sabahans stood majestically and we all were in awe admiring its beauty from a distance. The river is clear as crystal and Rocks that were spread out naturally as a result of mud floods a few years ago are so beautifully spread makes the view breathtaking. A basic accommodation, you can sleep in a tent or in a hut - if in a hut a mattress is spread out and given more pillows and blankets. Cozy and comfortable. If you are in Kota Kinabalu and would like to go on a camping trip, do visit Nahandang Homestay. You will not be disappointed, I promise❣️

Kinabalu Park trails for the explorer!

#wecreate healthy vibes when exploring the great outdoors! If climbing Mt Kinabalu is not for you, consider trekking the trails at Kinabalu Park. There are a variety of trails around the park, some are more challenging than others. The most friendly of them all was Silau-Silau which is mostly flat. Be mindful that the ground can be pretty soft if it has been raining and your shoes will get dirty! 🥹 Kiau View Trail has adequate ascent but is generally still pretty friendly. It crosses path with the Pandanus Trail which also has a little bit of ups and downs. The fresh air is just fantastic! And the greenery…is good for the soul ❤️ Entrance fee to the park is RM10/pax and is valid for the whole day. #kinabalupark #hiking #outdoors #sabah

KINABALU PARK

The mountain located in Ranau District West Coast division sabah. National Park is another side for close up view of the kinabalu mountain. The national park is a heritage site and offers hiking trail, botanic garden, lodge for stay and snacking place. If you are not climbing the mountain or interested in bird watching there is nothing much for visitors to do. Rm3 entrance fee for Malaysian. #sabah #mytripvlog
