Looking for a perfect getaway for short holidays…explore Brunei!



  
Brunei, with its luxuriant and pristine rain-forests and richness in flora and fauna is a paradise for nature lovers as well as for ecotourism.



So where exactly is Brunei located? 

Brunei is located on the north coast of the island of Borneo, in Southeast Asia. Apart from its coastline with the South China Sea, it is completely surrounded by the state of Sarawak, Malaysia.

Blessed with some of the largest oil fields in Southeast Asia, Brunei is the only sovereign country on the island of Borneo. Borneo has long been a top diving destination, attracting divers, naturalists and photographers with its stunning coral reefs and spellbinding aquatic life, beautiful beaches and warm, tropical climate. 

The Brunei Bay wrecks are regarded as the most interesting and accessible wreck dives in the region. Their close proximity to city accommodation and air links as well as convenient boat access, makes taking in a few dives convenient and quick when visiting Brunei.

Brunei is an alluring and exciting escape for any traveller, who can enjoy off the beaten track activities. Also one can get immersed in Brunei’s history, living cultures, extremely rich biodiversity and stunning views.

The best way to get there?

Royal Brunei Airlines  currently operates two daily flights between Singapore and Brunei. 

One of the major highlights of Brunei is the Ulu Ulu Resort, which is nestled in the middle of the vast Ulu Temburong National Park Rainforest, on the banks of the Temburong river and Belalong river. The Empire Hotel & Country Club is a sprawling luxury integrated resort with unique architecture, amenities and 21-carat gold fittings. It has a signature golf course designed by legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus. Here one can find all the facilities expected of a six-star establishment – large bedrooms with breathtaking views of the ocean, a variety of restaurants serving an assortment of Asian and international cuisines, a vast private beach offering a wide choice of water sports, and gorgeous saltwater and freshwater pools.


From natural beauty, spectacular scenery and diversity to outdoor adventure sports and unique shopping experiences, Brunei has it all.

So go ahead…an adventure beckons you...explore this hidden jewel
