Accessible from Singapore Changi International Airport and Senai International Airport in Johor, Desaru Coast is the new premium integrated destination located in the south-eastern region of Malaysia, in the state of Johor.
Kerzner, the owner of the ultra-luxury One&Only Resorts and iconic Atlantis Resort & Residences brands worldwide announced the introduction of One&Only Desaru Coast in Malaysia.
A 128-acre beachfront development, this ultimate bespoke lifestyle experience will include 42 suites, 2 luxury suites and an exclusive 4-bedroom villa, as well as approximately 50 One&Only Private Homes available for purchase.
“We find the most stunning destinations to create beautifully rare places for our guests to play, to dream, towork, to connect, reconnect and discover the new. As with all properties within the portfolio, our resort in Malaysia will be incredibly private, yet buzzing with life and energy,” commented Philippe Zuber, President and Chief Operating Officer, One&Only Resorts.
Like all properties within the One&Only collection, the resort, designed by award-winning architectural firm,Kerry Hill Architects, will place an emphasis on privacy, providing the ultimate hideaway. Secluded Private Homes, perfect for couples or large families, will be a sanctuary for those that want a private haven to call home. One&Only Desaru Coast will also be home to an indulgent destination spa, introducing traditional and holistic practices fused with modern spa therapies, with overall wellness at its core. A cutting-edge fitness centre –featuring both indoor and outdoor spaces–will also be part of the overall lifestyle offering. The destination is a golf-lover’s paradise with The Els Club Desaru Coast nearby, featuring both the Ocean Course, a 27-hole layout designed by 4-time Major Champion, Ernie Els and the Valley Course, a further 18-holes designed in collaboration with Els’ long-standing friend and fellow major champion, Vijay Singh.
The high-end resort will become a culinary destination, offering three restaurants, a dynamic bar for the latest in mixology and a Beach Club, each defined by their own distinct ethos, energy, design and flavour, showcasing the bounty of the region. The Beach Club will be a vibrant location where guests and residents alike will want to linger at the water’s edge for hours, to lounge, socialise or play.
New experiences will be introduced to discover the best of both land and sea – full of adventure. As with all One&Only properties, the resort will offer innovative programming for families with children whilst carefully preserving space for adults only as well.
