Come unwind and rejuvenate, leave the hustle and bustle behind and reconnect with nature. Let the waves kiss your feet and the sand be your seat. The vibrant coral reef right in front of Turtle Valley is just beautiful. It is a great spot for snorkelling. You can see turtles, rays, small reef sharks and an array of beautiful colourful fish right off the resort beach. Use our kayaks and go for a paddle, relax on floating tubes in the tropical ocean or get a book from our library and read peacefully. Our bungalows are built in genuine Malaysian style, with a hint of European lounge feel. We have 6 private bungalows and 2 Family units. One is suitable for a family of 4 and the other unit is suitable for 6-7. Each bungalow has a private bathroom with hot showers, flush toilet and a sink. Each room has a ceiling fan, mosquito net and a sea facing terrace with lounge chairs. Room rates includes fresh towels and a western style breakfast. we offer lunch and dinner at the resort

We had the most lovely stay here. Nick and Nadia made us welcome from the start. Our room was spacious, spotless, and comfortable. There's something about this place that seemed to attract really nice people. We all chatted over meals, and every mealtime was like a social event. The food is just superb, the best we have had in Asia ever. The location on Kapas means you can explore other beaches where there is great snorkelling (snorkels provided and good), and other places to eat if you want......but we didn't! We wished we could have stayed longer, but the rooms are busy, so book ahead. We stayed for 4 nights, we could have stayed forever.

Whoever is looking for the best place on the island of Kapas and the best place to eat should come here. They also have the best diving spot on the island on their beach where we saw sharks, cuttlefish rays and puffer fish. The best is Nadia the owner and her family and all her team. Not only are they lovely, but we had a huge problem and she, being from the other side of the world, without knowing us, helped us solve it by costing her own money and not everyone does that. If you are looking for security and tranquility this is paradise like the whole island

So glad we found this place to stay on Pulua Kapas, it was brilliant. A little oasis within a beautiful island. The hosts, Nadia and Nicholas, and their staff, were very friendly, helpful and accommodating, going out of their way to make sure you enjoyed your stay. It almost felt like you were staying with friends. We stayed in a family bungalow, which was simple but so many lovely little touches - sarongs to use during your stay, toiletries, clothes hanging space... The food was delicious and it was a dilemma whether to eat at Kapas Turtle Valley or try somewhere else on the island. There were sun lounges on the beach, kayaks to use and a range of snorkeling gear to borrow. I hope we can come back again another time.

This “resort” has no air conditioning…impossible to sleep at night because of the heat and the restaurant food prices are ridiculously expensive…we stayed for 2 nights and attempted to cancel the rest of our 5D/4N stay but the owners refused a refund of the unused stay

Warm hospitality. Great food. Exceptionally smooth holiday. Best value for money. Booking and pre-arrival: Excellent attention to ensure we had all the information necessary to prepare for our trip. Very attentive and quick response to all my queries. To help budget our trip, Nadia provided me with what to expect for dining and additional expenses while on the island. A week before our arrival, I unexpectedly received a message from her informing us about the inclement weather during our planned visit. Thankfully, our dates were flexible and we could move our arrival a day later and our departure a day later as well. Bespoke advice from Nadia allowed us to enjoy our beach holiday to the fullest despite the monsoon weather. Boat service was promptly arranged and waited for us at the jetty to arrive in the resort just in time for lunch. The resort is on the southwestern side of the island, perfectly secluded and accessible by a steep flight of stairs. Please take note of this in case anyone in your party has mobility issues. Accommodation: We opted for a chalet with connecting rooms of a double bed and twin beds, respectively. Optimal location with en suite toilets and shower. We had everything we needed and more. We enjoyed the balcony. Since the chalet is on stilts above the foot path, there was sufficient privacy. Sarongs, towels, toiletries, mozzie sprays, ceiling fan, umbrella in case it rained, mosquito coil, and even warm shower - which I consider as a treat on a rustic holiday in an idyllic island like Kapas. Take note, however, that the furnishings in the chalet are dated and can do with an upgrade. Sound travels through the walls and for light sleepers, ear plugs or noise cancelling ear buds are recommended. The thundering waves were a sound to enjoy but can be a challenge for uninterrupted sleep. The resort owners and staff are good at reminding guests of eco-friendly and sustainable practices that guests could help with. Water for showers/washing in the resort comes from the island underground water source. No toilet paper and any other sanitary products should be flushed down in the toilet. Dining options: Undoubtedly, Kapas Turtle Valley serves the best quality food in the island (and perhaps even in its vicinity on the mainland). Breakfast is sumptuous and is included in the booked holiday price. However, lunch and dinner are add-ons allowing guests to try other dining options in the island. We planned our activities to always make it back in time for our lunch and dinner in KTV for no fuss, delicious meals. Bottled water (1.5 L) can be purchased at the restaurant. Both Nadia and Nicholas are excellent in preparing anything on the menu and we are always raving about the dishes we ordered (beef fillet and mashed potatoes, prawn tempura on a bed of mango-cucumber salad, linefish en papillote, roasted duck breast and mash, and a couple of pasta dishes). Choyin, the resort staff, accommodated our fresh fruit juice requests willingly. Dessert options of fondant au chocolat, apple crumble, and coconut panna cotta provided a perfect finish for our dinners. Activities: As we came at a time when there was ‘bad’ weather, the sea was most of the time rough in front of the resort. As expected, visibility wasn’t great for snorkelling but my family nevertheless tested our gear here. Based on the resort owners’ advice, we ventured over the hill in search of calmer portions for swimming. Thankfully, Kapas is a small island and getting to the northern part of the island for swimming and snorkelling is a nice, leisure walk even with overcast skies. The resort owners’ daughter showed how well she knew the island when she accompanied us twice in our attempt to reach the long beach facing Gem Island passing over rock formations and occasionally, a tunnel carved by the waves. Access is dependent on the tide levels and after four days in the island, we learned so much more of how well the islanders adapted to the elements. Nicholas provided us with very helpful advice on our jungle trek. From the brow of the hill near KTV, we could access one of the jungle trek routes to Berakit. There are rope guide lines on the side of the path which helped when strong winds may have fell tree branches on the path. Verdict: We didn’t feel like we missed out on anything at all. Everyone had a great time. Perfect getaway for family with teenagers. Ours enjoyed exploring the beaches and other establishments on their own (with a bit of pocket money!) and we as parents did not worry about their safety. We loved the seclusion of just being over the hill. We definitely will come back and look forward to discovering the reefs next once. This place is not for #FOMOs but definitely for #YOLOs :0).

Great resort, Nadia and Nicholas and their two kids are from South Africa and have very successfully taken over this resort on the nicest spot of the island. They are very warm and welcoming and Nadia having been a chef in South Africa for many years means fantastic breakfasts, lunches and dinners! There are 2 canoes and a lot of snorkeling gear guests can use for free. All bungalows face the white sanded beach and turquoise sea which has a nice snorkeling spot right in front of the resort. All in all I would highly recommend this place!

First time at Kapas Turtle Valley. We’re a small family but we were there with a group of friends. The place is absolutely beautiful! The perfect mix between threes, land and beach! Excellent hosting by Nick, Nadia and there team. Food also excellent. Plenty of options to fill up the time (snorkeling, diving, hiking… or just relaxing at the beach having a great cocktail). Will be back soon for sure!

This was our second time on Kapas island at the Turtle Valley Resort. A small family-run, low-key yet cozy and relaxing resort is what we needed for a short getaway. Nadia and Nick are wonderful hosts and very accommodating in helping to organize activities or helping them with last-minute travel changes. We had plenty to do: snorkeling, kayaking, hiking. We even went out on a fishing trip and on a catamaran we could rent with them. The food - ah, the food - was freshly made every day with a wonderfully versatile daily menu. The BBQ night was certainly one of our highlights during our stay. The only expected downside were the mosquitos - we’re on a tropical island after all - but we were armed with plenty of mosquito repellent :) and Nadia and Nick have mosquito repellent set up in the rooms and common areas. No doubt, we will be back!
