A beachfront resort where tropical rainforest meets the open South China Sea, on Malaysia's emerging Desaru Coast.

Overview
Where Forest Meets Shore
Set along a quiet stretch of the Desaru Coast, where the resort's rainforest grounds run straight down to the beach.
One&Only Desaru Coast occupies a long stretch of beachfront in southern Johor, where the resort's tropical grounds transition directly into rainforest before reaching the open sea. The area remains far quieter than Malaysia's more developed west-coast resorts, giving the property a genuinely secluded, barefoot-luxury character. A private beach, extensive water sports programme and proximity to golf courses along the wider Desaru Coast development round out a stay that pairs easily with time in Singapore, a short transfer away.
