Bandar Penawar, Malaysia

One&Only Desaru Coast

An Insider's Take
'Malaysia's first One&Only resort sits on a pristine 17-kilometer stretch of coastline where the South China Sea meets untouched rainforest - a dramatic setting that feels worlds away from Singapore, yet just an hour's drive across the border.' What's Special? This architectural marvel features elevated villas that seem to float above the landscape, designed to blend seamlessly with the natural dunes and coastal vegetation. The resort is built within the Desaru Coast development, which includes Malaysia's first integrated theme park resort and an award-winning golf course designed by Ernie Els that's consistently ranked among Asia's best.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book the beachfront villas during turtle nesting season (April-September) - Desaru Coast is one of the few places in Malaysia where you can witness endangered green turtles laying eggs right on the beach at night.
Don't Miss The resort's unique position allows access to both pristine beaches and primary rainforest within minutes. Take the complimentary nature walk to spot proboscis monkeys and exotic birds, or venture to nearby Firefly Valley for one of Southeast Asia's most spectacular natural light shows after dark.
