Retreat to elegantly appointed rooms with expansive balconies, secluded private pool villas, or spacious residences, each thoughtfully designed for an exceptional stay.

Give in to wanderlust at Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas, located on miles of pristine beaches. Choose from among 116 airy rooms with wraparound balconies, stand-alone villas with private plunge pools, or expansive residences offering every conceivable amenity.
