For relaxation, the spa provides traditional therapies that leave you feeling utterly renewed. Beyond these indulgences, other activities call: swim in the lagoon pool, stroll along the private beach or play a round of golf — day or night. Whether you’re seeking adventure or leisure, The Empire Brunei’s perfect blend of luxury and nature offers an unforgettable stay.
Our Inspector's Highlights
- Perched along a private stretch of Brunei’s coastline, the luxury hotel is surrounded by lush tropical gardens and offers direct access to a white-sand beach. The secluded location ensures peace and privacy, with sunsets over the South China Sea providing unforgettable vistas.
- Every room at The Empire Brunei feels like a private sanctuary. Units start at a palatial 645 square feet and offer high-end extras like gratis mini bars, soaking tubs and lagoon- or garden-view balconies. Suites up the ante with wall-to-wall ocean-view windows and ornate furnishings such as vintage-style settees and heavy damask curtains.
- The spa is a serene escape from the island sun, offering a blend of traditional Balinese and contemporary treatments, rejuvenating hydrotherapy facilities and private treatment rooms, all designed to soothe both body and mind.
- From the Jack Nicklaus-designed championship golf course and lagoon kayaking to a state-of-the-art cinema and an eight-lane bowling alley, The Empire Brunei caters to a variety of interests. Tennis courts, a fitness center and nature trails add to the appeal, especially for the active set.
- Five pools offer seemingly endless ways to enjoy fun in the sun. An indoor pool with glass walls, an Olympic-sized lagoon pool and a dedicated children’s club pool ensure everyone can unwind how they please.
The Restaurants
- Beachfront restaurant Pantai specializes in pan-Asian specialties, with dishes like aloo chat (fried potatoes with tamarind mint chutney), lamb curry and udang nestum (wok-fried tiger prawns) stealing the show. The open-air setting, with views of the South China Sea, makes it a magical spot for dinner at sunset.
- Offering Italian fine dining, Spaghettini features handmade pasta, rich roasted meats and indulgent desserts like tiramisu. The chic interiors and candlelit tables make it a romantic choice for dinner.
- Enjoy dinner and a show at Zen, where you can watch your dinner made before your eyes either at the teppanyaki grill or the sushi bar.
- The Atrium Cafe’s indulgent breakfast and dinner buffets are the stuff of legend on Brunei. Rich roasted meats, house-baked breads, fresh seafood and delightful desserts make up the regal spread, all served beneath the atrium's soaring ceilings.
- Known for its classic afternoon tea, the Lobby Lounge serves towers of delicate pastries, finger sandwiches and scones with clotted cream in a tranquil, natural light-filled space that’s complemented by live piano music. For a quick tea, coffee or sweet treat between activities, head for Zest just off the Empire Arcade.
