Compare hotels in Brunei from AU$59

Even if you’re a well-versed world traveller, we bet you’ve never experienced a tiny, super-rich country ruled by a sultan and home to just over 300,000 people—yes, total. There are many types of wealth to experience on Brunei holidays: cultural, natural and of course, the dollar-dollar bill kind ya’ll!

Things to Do in Brunei

Overcome your fear of heights at Ulu Temburong National Park, a diverse rainforest area. Getting to the park by longboat and a hike is only the beginning. The canopy walk sways 50 m above you, and the brave are rewarded with rare views of hornbills and playful gibbons. Those who stay on the ground are still rewarded—learn (not first-hand, please) about medicinal plants like tongkat ali, known for its aphrodisiac qualities.

What’s small, wet and expensive? Jerudong Park is both the smallest and most expensive amusement and water park in Southeast Asia. Practice your James Bond moves in the laser maze and take a spin on the Ferris wheel. A Brunei hotel in the capital of Bandar Seri Begawan makes it easy to start your day in the rainforest and end it tripping out to Jerudong Park’s nightly light show.

Getting To & Around Brunei

Like the country it serves, Brunei International Airport (BWN) is small and efficient. Just 8 km from downtown Bandar Seri Begawan and 100 km from the border with Malaysia, it’s easy to get to hotels in Brunei via car hire (available on lastminute.com.au!), taxi or hotel shuttle. Plus, you’ll probably have a layover in Malaysia’s capital; extend your getaway with Kuala Lumpur accommodation and see even more of Southeast Asia.

lastminute.com.au can offer you the best deals on Brunei hotels so you’ll have plenty of cash leftover to live it up like royalty. Then bust out the coconut drums and do your best aduk-aduk dance. You won’t impress any sultans without some practice!
