#johorbahruhotels Looking to turn your Johor getaway into a full-on beach escape? Anantara Desaru Coast offers just that—an elegant, peaceful resort with a tropical twist. It's a favourite for couples, families, and even solo travelers looking for premium comfort by the sea. Rooms and villas are beautifully designed with a blend of local charm and modern touches. Think wooden floors, plush beds, sea or lagoon views, espresso machines, and luxe bathrooms. Villas go a step further with private pools, making them ideal for honeymoons or special occasions. Dining is a highlight here. Sea.Fire.Salt serves up fresh seafood like lobster and scallops with a beachfront view, while Turmeric offers a hearty buffet with local, Thai, and Western dishes. The bars around the resort are perfect for sunset cocktails or quiet evening sips. Guests can enjoy two large pools—one overlooking the beach and another tucked in a lush garden area. The Anantara Spa is a must-try, offering traditional Thai and Malay treatments in a serene setting. There are also yoga sessions, cycling paths, a gym, and fun family activities like cooking classes and kids’ clubs. Golfers will love the nearby Els Club, and families can visit the close-by Adventure Waterpark. Staff are known for their warm hospitality, with many guests praising the personal service and attention to detail. The atmosphere throughout the resort is calm and laid-back, with lantern-lit pathways and breezy beachfront spaces. A few small downsides: the drive from Johor Bahru city or the airport can take around 45–60 minutes, and some diners mention that food options can be limited during busy times. Anantara Desaru Coast is a near-perfect escape—offering stylish stays, peaceful vibes, and beachfront luxury. Ideal for relaxing holidays, romantic getaways, and those who want to unwind in style. #johorbahru #travel #couplestrip #beachlife #staycation #naturalwonders #thingstodo #seascapes #familytravel #poolhotel #resorts #museums #myitinerary #citydaytours #afternoonteatime #buffets #localfood
