💡 Tips
- The village has a relaxed pace; plan your coastal walks for late afternoon when the sun is less intense.
- There are no major banks or ATMs, so bring sufficient cash from Tutong or Bandar Seri Begawan.
- Be cautious when swimming along the beaches, as currents can be strong and there are no lifeguards.
- The telecommunications earth station is a prominent landmark but generally not open to public tours.
- Public transport on the main highway is infrequent; renting a car is the best way to explore.

Telisai is a settlement and mukim in the Tutong District, located on the northwest coast of Brunei along the South China Sea. The area plays a strategic role as a link between the Tutong and Belait districts, particularly through the development of the Telisai-Lumut Highway. Telisai is known for its peaceful coastal atmosphere and houses several pristine beaches used by the local population for recreation. A significant landmark nearby is the Tasek Merimbun Heritage Park, Brunei's largest lake, which is accessible via the road connections from Telisai. The local economy is traditionally based on fishing and agriculture, although in recent years infrastructural development has gained importance. The region is characterized by a mix of coastal plains and forested hills that host a diverse range of flora and fauna.
