The World's Largest Residence


Istana Nurul Iman, taken from the Arabic name, means Palace of the Faith Light; is the largest residential palace in the world and the world's largest residence of any type. This is the home of the Sultan of Brunei.

It contains 1,788 rooms, 257 bathrooms, and a floor area of 2,152,782 square feet. Amenities include 5 swimming pools, and an air conditioned stable for the Sultan's 200 polo ponies, a 110-car garage, a banquet hall that can be expanded to accommodate up to 4,000 guests, and a mosque accommodating 1,500 people.
