When people think of island getaways from Kota Kinabalu, the usual names like Sapi or Manukan often come to mind. But if you're looking for something quieter, more untouched, and totally off the radar, Pulau Tiga Island might just be the paradise you've been searching for.
📍 Where Is Pulau Tiga?
Located approximately 50 kilometers southwest of Kota Kinabalu, Pulau Tiga is part of a marine national park in Sabah, Malaysia. The journey there requires a bit of an adventure: a 90-minute drive from the city to Kuala Penyu, followed by a 20–30 minute boat ride to the island itself. The moment your feet touch the white sand, the entire trip feels incredibly worth it.
🏝️ What Makes It Special?
Pulau Tiga literally means "Island Three" in Malay — a name derived from a group of three small islands in the vicinity. But more importantly, the island became famous as the original location for the hit reality show Survivor Season 1, which earned it the nickname "Survivor Island."
Despite its brush with fame, Pulau Tiga remains remarkably unspoiled. There's no mass tourism here, no long lines of boats, and definitely no party crowds. It's a place where the sound of the wind and ocean replaces city noise, and you can genuinely disconnect from the world.
🌊 What to Expect
Pulau Tiga isn’t your typical tourist-packed island. The beaches stretch quietly under the sun, the waters are incredibly clear, and the palm trees sway gently as if time runs differently here. It's ideal for those who want to read by the beach, take a peaceful swim, or simply stare out into the endless blue horizon.
If you're into nature photography, this place is a dream. From sunrise to sunset, every angle looks like a postcard. It’s one of those rare places where the photos on Instagram don’t need filters.
