A coastal destination close to Singapore, designed for travellers seeking space, ease and choice
Produced by SilverKris for Desaru Coast
The search isn’t always for another beach resort, but for a meaningful pause. For a place close enough to feel effortless, yet distinctly a world away. Spanning 4,000 acres along the South China Sea, Desaru Coast in Johor, Malaysia offers just that – a thoughtfully designed coastal destination immersed in luxury, nature and adventure.
Your escape into easy luxury
At Desaru Coast, expansive shores and wide horizons establish an unmistakable sense of arrival. Here, a carefully curated collection of fivestar luxury resorts sits alongside championship-level golf and considered leisure and dining experiences.
For some, the destination offers a welcome pause between long-haul journeys; for others, the chance to discover a new destination or enjoy a beach retreat away from the crowds – whether for a short stay or one worth lingering over.
A destination of distinctive stays
What distinguishes Desaru Coast is the distinct character of each resort. Mandarin Oriental, Desaru Coast, the brand’s first beachfront resort in Southeast Asia, offers an intimate retreat, with suites set along an unspoilt stretch of shore.
Elsewhere, Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas lends itself to extended and multigenerational stays, The Westin Desaru Coast Resort places wellbeing and renewal at the fore, while Hard Rock Hotel Desaru Coast brings a livelier, entertainment-led energy to the coast.
Collectively, these resorts allow the coast to be experienced in different ways, across a range of styles and occasions.
Signature experiences
Days here unfold through choice, not schedule. Rolling greens of golf draw some to The Els Club Desaru Coast, while others gravitate towards guided nature experiences.
Dining follows the same rhythm – sunset drinks at Ember Beach Club, seasonal Malaysian flavours at Kedidi, or vibrant Latin-inspired plates and pours at Elephant & Butterfly.
A refined reputation
While under the radar, Desaru Coast has hosted icons at its Ombak Festival, and also staged events like IRONMAN 70.3 and L’Etape by Tour de France, with the World Amateur Golf Championship set to follow.
Perhaps most compelling is its easy access; just a 1.5-hour drive or ferry from Singapore, yet a world removed. Desaru Coast delivers the pleasures of a long-haul holiday without the disruption.
