Mabul Island: Stilt Villages and Clear Waters

#hellochristmas Mabul Island offers a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural richness. Visitors are captivated by the crystal-clear turquoise waters and the charming stilt resorts. The island is also home to the fascinating Bajau Laut people, or "Sea Gypsies," who live in traditional houses built above the sea. It's a true paradise for divers and those seeking an authentic island experience.
