The first impression

Off to Malaysia! After the cold and grey European winter, everything is now set for warm sun, beach and tropical holiday feelings. Here's the good news for everyone who urgently needs to replenish their vitamin D levels: All of this (and much more) is available at the Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas.

The Desaru Coast in southern Malaysia is still an insider tip. Lush vegetation in the middle of a beautiful lagoon landscape and right on the golden brown beach: the Anantara Desaru Coast Resort, an exclusive retreat with plenty of comfort in the style of a traditional Malay fishing village. The five-star Beach resorts in Malaysia have everything you need for relaxation and the feeling of a never-ending summer. And all in style. There is lots of style, of course.

Who lives here?

Anyone who wants to experience Southeast Asia beyond the backpacker routes and enjoy good service, luxurious amenities and the comfort of an all-round perfect holiday. Couples who are looking for a romantic hideaway and have found it here. Be it long walks on the beach to colorful sunsets or a relaxing couples massage. Families who like to spend time together (for example in the nearby water park) and parents who like to spend time as a couple. Easily possible with the Layang Layang Kids and Luncur Ombak Teens Club. Or passionate golfers who want to improve their handicap on one of two renowned golf courses in the immediate vicinity of the resort.

Slept well?
Whether in one of the 90 rooms or in one of the 13 detached pool villas: the views of the sea, lagoon or garden and the accompanying gentle sound of the waves will lull you gently to sleep. Inside, Malay style with maximum comfort, outside gently embedded in nature and surroundings.


The wellness factor

Wellness is a central part of the feel-good package in all Anantara hotels. At the Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas, this has even won several awards. No wonder, because the relaxation that is sought there is based on Malaysian treatment traditions, from thermotherapy to chakra balancing therapy. It sounds cumbersome, but it is all the more relaxing.

How about the treatment "The Rise of Naupaka" for example? 135 minutes, starting with a hibiscus rose peeling, a traditional Malay pressure massage and finishing with a herbal bath? Your skin and muscles will be as soft as butter just by imagining it. Incidentally, Naupaka is a native plant species that even has a romantic story about it. Naupaka was the name of a Malay princess who took a flower from her hair, split it in half and gave half of it to her lover. Tip: This is the ideal treatment for happy couples in love mode.

Gut feeling

With two restaurants and three bars, there is no chance of getting bored at the Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas. The main restaurant, Turmeric, serves Malaysian, Thai and international dishes all day long, while seafood fans (and steak lovers too) are in culinary heaven at Sea.Fire.Salt.

A tropical dream holiday always includes a delicious dinner with fresh seafood, ideally with your feet in the sand, a view of the sea and a little salty air in your nose to whet your appetite. No problem with the Anantara classic "Dining by Design". A culinary experience, entirely tailored to your own ideas and wishes, made possible by the hotel. All you have to do is enjoy.


3 good reasons to book there

1. Of course, you could spend all your time on the beach or by the pool with a beautiful view. If that gets too monotonous after the third day, there is plenty of variety in the resort's range of activities. From nature walks with bird watching, yoga on the beach, a tour through the mangroves, or a foodie tour through the old town of Johor Bahru, there are plenty of impressions of the holiday country here.
2. The location. The Desaru Coast is still an insider tip for tourists. Mangroves, lagoons, a long sandy beach - there is a lot to experience here and of course relaxation too.
3. Wellness next level: The range of different treatments is impressive. Ayurvedic rituals that include a facial massage with ice-cold rose quartz or a peeling rich in antioxidants made from fresh coconut and mint leaves or a full-body massage with warmed bamboo sticks that can be stroked or rolled over the body... Any tension will stay away here at least until your next vacation!
