Pictured above is the Desaru Coast shoreline this resort sits on — not the hotel building. We’re sourcing licensed photos of the property itself and will swap them in.

The luxury anchor of the development, and deliberately adult-leaning — this is not a kids’-club property. Villas with private pools, a serious restaurant line-up and a hushed, grown-up atmosphere. Pick it for a couples’ escape, not a family beach holiday.

Our independent tip

If you’re bringing kids, this is the one to skip — it has no kids’ club and the vibe is firmly adult. Anantara next door gives you similar villa luxury but keeps a kids’ club.

Indicative rate

Ultra-luxury — typically the priciest of the four (check live rates)
