Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas

Beach Hotel

Trip Advisor Rating 4.5
Superb 4.5

Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas, a five-star resort along Malaysia's southern coast in Desaru, draws inspiration from a traditional fishing village, presenting 116 rooms, stand-alone villas, and expansive residences that harmonize rustic elements with contemporary refinement, welcoming couples and families alike.

Every air-conditioned space unfolds with generous proportions, including wardrobes, coffee machines, fridges, minibars, safety deposit boxes, flat-screen televisions, and terraces that capture lagoon or garden serenity. Private bathrooms equipped with bidets and free toiletries add a layer of thoughtful comfort, while select villas and residences incorporate fully equipped kitchens featuring dishwashers, ovens, and microwaves, along with iPod docking stations for personal soundtracks. Open-air verandas invite lazy afternoons, fostering a sense of unhurried discovery within the property's integrated premium setting.

The resort's dining scene celebrates regional bounty through a versatile restaurant offering Malaysian, seafood, and Thai specialties, where guests savour fresh catches grilled to perfection or aromatic curries simmered with local spices, accommodating vegetarian, dairy-free, and halal preferences with ease. Breakfast unfolds as a generous buffet or continental spread, setting a nourishing tone for the day. An outdoor swimming pool gleams under the tropical sun, complemented by a fitness centre for those inclined toward active pursuits, while a shared lounge provides a cozy spot for evening reflections. Curated excursions, from mangrove eco-cruises to traditional village tours, connect visitors to Johor's authentic rhythms, with the private beach area and garden paths enhancing moments of quiet exploration.

Situated 600 metres from Desaru Beach and 84 km from Senai International Airport, Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas positions guests moments from the Desaru Fruit Farm, Adventure Waterpark, and The Els Club golf course, blending coastal allure with effortless access to southern Malaysia's highlights.
