You've probably heard of Desaru, a beach destination in Johor that boasts of nice beaches and family-oriented resorts.

But tucked away at the edge of Desaru is a new development that’s expected to be the country’s latest premium travel destination. Desaru Coast is an integrated resort that houses three renowned hotel brands, a golf course, a retail outlet, a convention centre and a fun-filled waterpark.
