Sibu Island is one of the nearest islands of Malaysia to Singapore which is only 3-4 hours bus drive + ferry ride away. Since it is not as big and established as Tioman, getting there on your own may be a problem but once you are there it offers a relaxed and quiet holiday destination.
Sibu Island Resort offers a quite a pleasant stay with activities like snorkeling, just lying on the beach and swimming. It is not the top notch like the other hotels in this article but offers the nearest island escape from Singapore.
