Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas  

On Malaysia’s sun-soaked Desaru Coast, a beachfront escape set inside a world-class integrated development. Prime draws include The Els Club by Ernie Els and Desaru Coast Adventure Waterpark; Bandar Penawar is about 5 km away and it’s a two‑hour drive or a short ferry from Singapore. Family-friendly beachfront resort with private beach residences and dramatic ocean-sunset views.

Modelled on a traditional fishing village, low‑rise kampongs and colonial‑inspired architecture meet kampong-style pool villas finished in straits porcelain, wood carvings and woven textiles. The 108 suites and villas deliver garden and sea views, plus private beach residences for standout sunsets. Expect relaxed modern-luxe with local craft details rather than high‑rise hotel gloss.

Lounge by two infinity pools or on your private stretch of beach, and hide away at the award‑winning Anantara Spa with journeys inspired by local heritage. Active days include water sports, access to Adventure Waterpark, and rounds at The Els Golf Club; there’s also a fitness center, sauna, steam room, kids’ playroom, library, picnic and BBQ areas. Wake up to sea‑breeze mornings and long poolside afternoons.

Free Wi‑Fi across the property, on-site parking and concierge/transfer services; a tour desk and car rental make logistics easy.

Beachfront Sea.Fire.Salt. serves seafood and grills with stunning sea views, plus on-site restaurants and a lively bar. Dive into Malaysian flavors with Spice Spoon cooking classes or book Dining by Design for a private‑chef beach dinner.
