Overview

The Lumut Lighthouse (Rumah Api Lumut in Malay) is an active navigational beacon located in Kampong Sungai Kayu Ara, Brunei. Inaugurated in March 2005, the lighthouse stands 32 meters (105 ft) tall and is painted in red, white, and blue. The lighthouse emits three white flashes every 15 seconds from a 30-meter hexagonal tower equipped with a lantern and gallery. With a range of 45 kilometers (28 mi), it serves as a navigational aid for ships heading toward Lumut, an area on the South China Sea. Visitors are drawn to the lighthouse for its architectural charm and the serene surroundings. The elevated position grants panoramic views of the South China Sea, making it an ideal spot for sunset watching. The gentle sea breeze and the sound of waves crashing against the rocks create a peaceful ambiance, perfect for relaxation. The surrounding area offers lush greenery and coastal pathways that invite leisurely strolls.
