Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas
About the hotel
"A tropical seaside escape in a gorgeous natural setting, Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas boasts handsome accommodations, inspired dining and myriad opportunities for both leisure and adventure."
The resort's 108 rooms, villas and residences are designed to resemble a traditional fishing village. Low-rise compounds and standalone villas blend beautifully into the landscape, adding to the feel of being at one with nature. Within, the interior design is a surprising departure from the aesthetic found in many typical tropical getaways. Instead of the expected beachy, seaside-themed ambience, the spaces are sleek, modern and stylish as can be; redolent of upscale city living while still being complimented by magnificent coastal views. Sultry interiors are set in handsome neutrals, with beautiful wooden floors underfoot and glossy accents. Each and every... Show more
The resort's 108 rooms, villas and residences are designed to resemble a traditional fishing village. Low-rise compounds and standalone villas blend beautifully into the landscape, adding to the feel of being at one with nature. Within, the interior design is a surprising departure from the aesthetic found in many typical tropical getaways. Instead of the expected beachy, seaside-themed ambience, the spaces are sleek, modern and stylish as can be; redolent of upscale city living while still being complimented by magnificent coastal views. Sultry interiors are set in handsome neutrals, with beautiful wooden floors underfoot and glossy accents. Each and every accommodation features its own private balcony, the best of which are of the wraparound variety and found in select corner rooms. For an especially indulgent stay, book one of the two-story Pool Villas that overlook the lagoon or (if you’re really splurging) opt for one of the lavish Beach Residences, the largest of which can accommodate up to 12 people.
For the first meal of the day, head to Turmeric: an attractive gourmet restaurant brimming with colonial charm. For lunch, try Sea.Fire.Salt., which is the property’s signature seafood and grill eatery. Dishes at this venue feature seafood and meat both local and imported, and the al fresco dining terrace is as lovely as can be. If you don’t feel inclined to leave the comfort of your villa, a private chef will come and barbecue for you on-site. To become even more intimately acquainted with the regional cuisine, book a cooking class at Spice Spoons and learn the secrets of Thai and Malaysian gastronomy. For a drink or two, you’ll have three options: the Infinity Bar (which is a prime spot for drinks and cigars by the infinity pool), the Lagoon Pool Bar (a second option for waterside refreshments) and the Observatory Bar, which is chic and stylish with a laid-back ambience.
In between meals, you’ll have plenty of opportunities for both leisure and adventure, whether that means an outdoor cinema night under the stars, volleyball on the beach or a foodie-focused excursion to Johor Bahru Old Town. After a day of excitement, unwind with a rejuvenating treatment at Anantara Spa.
