At the heart of the extensive Sutera Harbour Resort property is the Sutera Harbour Marina, Golf & Country Club which features a 27-hole award-winning championship golf course designed by Graham Marsh, a 41-bay covered driving range, and a 104-berth marina that can accommodate 13 mega yachts and 91 smaller vessels.

The Club’s 27-hole golf course is built on undulating terrain and divided into 43 distinct courses of varying difficulty. At night, 20 holes are lit, including nine holes of the Lake Course, nine holes of the Garden Course and two finishing holes of the Heritage Course. There is also a 41-bay two-tier covered driving range that overlooks a scenic lake.

Acquired by the Group in December 2018, the Sutera@Mantanani Resort, managed by Sutera Harbour Resort, is an exclusive island resort, with 70 beach-fronting villas, set amidst the idyllic Mantanani Islands, some 40km northwest from the coastal town of Kota Belud, 80km north of Kota Kinabalu.

From the city, it is about one and half hours by car to Kota Belud, and a 30-minute boat ride from Kota Belud jetty to Mantanani Islands.

Coveted for its powdery white beaches, crystal clear waters and rich marine life, the Resort offers some of the best scuba diving and snorkelling activities with its fully equipped dive centre, or other water sports such as kayaking against the stunning backdrop of Mount Kinabalu. Fishing enthusiasts will enjoy a peaceful time angling at a deserted island, or learning how to fish like the locals. Those wanting the ultimate thrill can also heat out for a spot of game fishing.

On full-moon nights, the Resort organizes the magical Blue Tears tour – where bioluminescent plankton lights up the sea with its characteristic bluish glow.

A perfect holiday destination, Sutera@ Mantanani offers full-board dining options at its Lumba-Lumba Island Café, which serves local and international cuisine.
