A new luxury resort promises to be a coastal sanctuary, and it’s so close to home.
"Enjoy private dining on the beachfront. Heaven!"
You know how it’s like rallying up your friends for a girl’s getaway — it’s always about getting the right place, at the right time, at the right price. Not everyone’s schedules can sync up so it’s always best to go nearby. “But we’ve already been to all the Malaysian resorts!” We hear you. Here's a new spot to check-in and check out: Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas. Ensconced in the new high-end resort development of Desaru near Iskandar Malaysia, this is the hideaway that you’ve been craving for — one you can steal away to for a weekend, without an expensive flight fare, and has everything that a world-class accommodation would offer.
SWIM, SPA, REPEAT
There is so much to experience in every Anantara property and Desaru Coast is no exception. They offer Dining by Design where you can plan a romantic bespoke dinner for two, complete with a private chef and butler, and a sumptuous four- or five-course menu. Enjoy a private BBQ on the beachfront, or an intimate dining setting with candles, flowers and torches in a serene setting within the resort gardens or by the pool. Even though you can take a dip in the two resort pools, you can opt for a stand-alone luxury Pool Villa with your very own plunge pool. If you’re a bit bougie, book the expansive threeand four-bedroom Beach Residence — which comes with beach access, and thoughtful private chef and butler services, mind you — to suit your trip’s needs. On top of that, there’s also a spa where you can get some R&R.
LUXURIOUS LOOKS
Choose from Premier Rooms and Deluxe Sea View Rooms in the low-rise buildings which have views of the gardens, lagoon and sparkling ocean.
