Anantara Desaru Coast Residences - Malaysia

Set along the shores of the South China Sea, Anantara Desaru Coast Residences is an exceptionally limited collection of just 20 three- and four-bedroom private pool villas within one of Malaysia’s most exciting emerging luxury destinations. Developed by Minor International and Destination Resorts and Hotels (DRH) and managed by Anantara, the residences combine the privacy and space of an individual villa with the services, amenities and hospitality of the adjoining Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas.

Designed as a low-density beachfront enclave, the residences are arranged in two rows overlooking the coast, with selected villas positioned directly along the beachfront and others elevated behind them for privacy and ocean views. Each residence is fully furnished and equipped, with expansive indoor-outdoor living areas, floor-to-ceiling glazing, generous terraces, and its own private infinity swimming pool. The collection ranges from elegant single-level three-bedroom villas to expansive four-bedroom duplex residences with approximately 288 to 597 sqm of built-up area.

The residences are integrated with Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas, giving owners access to a complete five-star resort lifestyle. The adjoining resort comprises 103 hotel rooms and kampung-style villas, together with two resort swimming pools, restaurants and bars, Anantara Spa, fitness facilities, kids' and teens' clubs and a broad range of recreational experiences.

Owners enjoy access to the resort's beachfront infinity pool and lagoon pool, Turmeric all-day dining, Sea Fire Salt seafood and grill restaurant, Observatory Bar, Infinity Bar, Anantara Spa, fitness centre and dedicated butler services. The official Anantara site also confirms that residence guests have full access to the resort's restaurants, bars, swimming pools, fitness centre, spa, meeting facilities and family amenities.

Beyond the resort, Desaru Coast has evolved into a major integrated leisure destination encompassing 17 kilometres of coastline, championship golf courses managed by The Els Club, Adventure Waterpark Desaru Coast, international resorts, dining and recreation. The destination also benefits from ferry connectivity with Singapore and its inclusion within the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone, adding another dimension to its long-term regional positioning.

Its accessibility is one of the project's strongest advantages. Desaru Coast is approximately 1 hour 15 minutes by car from Johor Bahru, approximately 1 hour 45 minutes by car or 90 minutes by ferry from Singapore, and approximately five minutes from the Desaru Coast Ferry Terminal.

For buyers seeking a private coastal residence rather than a conventional condominium, Anantara Desaru Coast Residences offers a compelling combination: an extremely limited collection of only 20 villas, established five-star resort infrastructure, professional Anantara management, private pools and access to one of southern Malaysia's most important emerging leisure destinations.
