Our Venue

Dewan Marina, our overwater hall

Dewan Marina is a white A-frame hall built on stilts above the reef. By day it looks out over the lagoon; by evening, string lights and the setting sun make it one of the most distinctive wedding backdrops in Semporna.

  • Open-air hall built on stilts above the lagoon
  • Timber aisle walkway, ready to dress for your ceremony
  • Uninterrupted sunset views over the Sulu Sea
  • On-site bungalows for your wedding party to stay the night
