Nusakuya Resort - Semporna

Seafront stilt chalets with direct water access and nightly turtle sightings in Semporna

Nusakuya Resort in Semporna offers direct sea access from every room's private balcony. Fifteen minutes by boat from the Semporna jetty, Nusakuya Resort extends over a stretch of the Celebes Sea. The family rooms are arranged as water chalets, with wooden stairways leading from the balconies directly into the water. Each air-conditioned room includes a private bathroom with a bidet, a hairdryer, free toiletries, a shower, and slippers. Electric kettles, wardrobes, and TVs are provided, along with work desks and tea and coffee-making facilities in select rooms. The restaurant at Nusakuya serves buffet breakfast with halal and Asian options. Lunch and dinner are set meals, with seafood such as fish, crab, and clams as the main proteins. Guests who purchase fresh catch from passing Bajau fishermen can hand their seafood to the kitchen, where the chef prepares it for the same day's dinner. The primary attraction of Nusakuya Resort is the marine life encountered directly beneath the chalets. Chocolate chip starfish are visible on the seabed during the day, while schools of fish circle the stilts. Sea turtles make frequent appearances, swimming under the walkways after sunset. A transparent boat is available for rent, providing a way to observe the seabed without getting wet. Snorkeling equipment can also be rented from the front desk, which operates in English and Malay. Free WiFi is available throughout the resort, and room service, on-site parking, and a restaurant are among the facilities. The family rooms are non-smoking throughout. The resort faces the open sea, away from jetty traffic, with sunsets visible from the dining deck. Nusakuya Resort serves travelers who want direct water access in Semporna.
