For affordable luxury accommodations, look no further than Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas, a coastal gem that opened its doors in 2019. To get there, you can take a 90-minute ferry from Tanah Merah (available from Thursday to Sunday on www.batamfast.com) and a seven-minute drive from Desaru Coast Ferry Terminal. Alternatively, you can take a two-hour scenic drive from Tuas or Woodlands. On my drive up, I could immediately tell we were leaving the district of Johor and entering Desaru the moment we reached the iconic Sungai Johor Bridge. Somehow, the rain magically stopped, and grey clouds turned into a vibrant blue, hinting that an unforgettable holiday was on the horizon.
Nestled along the pristine shores of the South China Sea in the southeastern region of Peninsular Malaysia, Desaru Coast emerges as a breathtaking jewel of tropical paradise. Opened in 2018 by Khazanah Nasional, this coastal haven teeming with globally renowned resorts has rapidly evolved into a premier destination for travellers seeking an unforgettable escape.
The clear waters of the South China Sea offer a beautiful setting for water sports, sunbathing, and peaceful sunset walks along wide stretches of pristine white sand. Meanwhile, the surrounding rainforests beckon explorers with their rich biodiversity and hidden wonders, making Desaru Coast a prime destination for eco-adventurers.
