Kampong Ayer is the world's largest water village, stilt houses linked by boardwalks.

📍 Destination Overview

Kampong Ayer, a stilt village on the Brunei River at the capital Bandar Seri Begawan, is hailed as the world's largest water settlement. Thousands of wooden houses joined by boardwalks form a floating community with schools, mosques and shops, where residents travel by boat. Riding a water taxi among the homes lets you experience this centuries-old "Venice of the East."
