Opened in 2008, Ulu Ulu Resort is one of Brunei Darussalam’s premier accommodations and the only resort inside the country’s Ulu Temburong National Park. The resort is two hours away from the Brunei International Airport and accessible through three modes of transportation, a speed boat ride from Bandar Seri Begawan, overland journey from Bangar to Batang Duri jetty and long boat (temuai) ride. Ulu Ulu Resort played host to the Grand Finale of the 2nd Borneo Bird Race 2014 from 1–2 October.
Ulu Ulu Resort was set up in November 2008 through privatization of the Forestry Department’s facilities in the Ulu Temburong National Park. This development is regarded as the first Public-Private Partnership (PPP) between a private sector company, Sunshine Borneo Tours & Travel Sdn. Bhd. and the government of Brunei Darussalam.
The resort is nestled on the banks of the Temburong and Belalong rivers in the heart of the 50,000 hectares of rainforest of Ulu Temburong National Park, Brunei Darussalam. To limit human activities inside the park, only 100 hectares of land is designated for visitation. With no human or modern encroachment except a field research centre in Ulu Belalong and the resort, the national park is pristine and ideal for nature-based tourism.
There are 17 rooms (Standard: dormitory, Superior: twin-share & family suite and Deluxe: Double bedded) within the resort’s 8 tropical wooden villas, resembling local houses built in the 1920s using Malay architecture. Room are equipped with individually-controlled air-conditioning units, ceiling fan, and water heater. Other facilities offered by the resort include:
The resort caters to mainly nature or wildlife enthusiasts and birders. Standard activities include trekking to the National Park’s canopy walkway, hiking to mini waterfall, guided night jungle walk (frog trail), kayaking and tubing. The resort activities are integrated with accommodation and full board meals are sold in packages. Team building, bird watching and wellness packages are among the innovated programs introduced by the resort in recent years.
Ulu Ulu Resort bagged the ASEAN Green Hotel Award 2011–2015 in recognition of the Green Initiatives that serve as its operational guideline.
