Rimba Resort

Rimba Resort sits alone on a natural bay at the northern tip of Pulau Sibu, with a 350 m beach and, the resort says, a 200 m house reef in front of it.

It has 21 open-air sea-view chalets with fans, mosquito nets and their own bathrooms, from Seaview Twin and Double chalets to a Family Chalet and an Island Suite. Rates are half board: Seaview chalets from RM340++ per adult per night, twin share, on the resort’s rate page in November 2026, and a 3D2N package with the boat is RM850++ per person. The resort says its kitchen is halal certified; there is also a beach bar, a spa, and Hi-Tide Divers for boat and shore dives and PADI specialty courses. Children can join a Conservation Club run by the resort’s conservation crew. Guest reviews often praise the dive team, the food, the Saturday barbecue and the house reef.

The catch is comfort and terms. No chalet has air-conditioning, the Twin and Double chalets have cold showers only, and Wi-Fi reaches only the bar and reading room. The resort warns about sandflies and mosquitoes, and some reviews mention occasional power and water cuts. Deposits are non-refundable, though dates can move within the same season with 7 days’ notice. It closes from about December to Chinese New Year.
