Halal Hotels Brunei

Islam is Brunei’s official religion, 82.70 percent of the population is Muslim, mostly Sunnis of Malay origin who follow the Shafi school of Islamic law. Most of the other Muslim groups are Malay Brunei, Malay Kebaya (converts from indigenous tribal groups) and Chinese converts

By Crescent Rating, Brunei is 12th rated among most Muslim-friendly countries.

How many mosques are there in Brunei

As of 2019, there were 118 Islamic places of worship, including 102 mosques, 5 surau and 11 balai ibadat (“worship halls”).

The Muslim friendly hotel means a hotel that has Islamic characteristics that can provide basic facilities that are more friendly to Muslim customers such as a Qibla direction indicator, the availability of prayer tools, the presence of halal food / list of nearby restaurants that provide halal food.

Like other tourists, Muslim travelers coming from Islamic countries have particular requirements when they choose the destination for their vacation. Among these requirements, Muslims are concerned about the availability of halal compliant foods (no pork or alcohol in food) and a clean place to pray.

 

Many international hotels in Brunei do serve halal food that is slaughtered in accordance with the teachings of Islamic Sharia and is free of any substances forbidden by Islam such as pork and alcohol.

Other Islamic countries such as Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Oman and Brunei continue to be popular with Muslim tourists. Among non-OIC countries, Singapore, Thailand, the UK, Japan and Taiwan remain the top five respectively, but show improved scores on the index.

3. The Empire Brunei 3* – Muslim Friendly Hotels Brunei

The Empire Brunei

Set on 445 coastal acres on the South China Sea amidst tropical rainforests, The Empire Brunei, rich in Malay culture and warm Bruneian hospitality, boasts 522 exquisite accommodations, seven international restaurants, and five swimming pools. Seasoned luxury travelers will love the 16 secluded villas featuring gardens, living areas, and balconies with ocean views. Experiences include stand-up paddle boarding at the Grand Lagoon, an eight-lane bowling hall, a deluxe spa, a three-screen cinema showing box office hits, and almost two miles of private beaches.

Golfers can test their handicap on the 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course at The Country Club, which offers night golf and a golf academy.

The room I was in had a classic style decor which was actually quite homey in direct contrast to the modern luxurious vibe I was expecting for some reason.
Loved the huge soft inviting bed, the amazing view from the room, and absolutely loved the big deep bathtub which I spent ages in with lots and lots of scented bubbles.
That huge swimming pool is something else! Wide-spread area, gorgeous views, and great service from attentive staff.

The sea view room that I had was very spacious, it is like a suite since the dimensions measure about 60 square meters at the least. Of course the huge bathroom (it has the size of standard room in some budget hotels) and the expansive veranda somehow took up considerable space.

The room is well appointed, but noted the relatively poor air-condition temperature( even when engineering tried to fix it) and the not so big flat screen TV with few English channels. A nice feature though is the bathroom which automatically lights up with its motion sensor technology.Wireless internet is free, and kind of really fast.

Buffet breakfast is held at the Atrium  and it was sufficient enough , with Halal selection (Asian and Western) comprising the buffet.

Some items change daily , and the ambiance felt of dining in this area was indeed worth it, and should be tried at least once.

The room was big, amenities were nice, great shower, bath for those who desire to unwind. Bed was comfy and enormous and mini bar was included.

The breakfast was served in the Atrium in the main building. The varieties of food served are a welcome changed and we did enjoy them very much and being in Brunei Darussalam, Halal is guaranteed.
