Mandarin Oriental Desaru Coast is a distinctive tropical sanctuary set between the rainforest and the sweeping beaches of the South China Sea. A short hop from Singapore on the tip of the Malay peninsula, the resort blends exclusive tropical-modernist architecture and stylings with 128-wildlife-filled acres near the tip of the Malay Peninsula, perfectly poised between the South China Sea and swathes of thick jungle.
Guests can choose from either Rainforest Suites ensconced in the jungle canopy, or Ocean Suites framed by hypnotic sea views. All have terraces and private plunge pools and enjoy dedicated butler service.
Fronted by a sweep of bone-white sand, Ember Beach Club offers up-beat music, colourful cocktails and an elevated take on barbecues on the beach. Other dining options include a high-end Japanese restaurant and an East-meets-West restaurant where ingredients are sourced from local organic farms and the chef’s own kitchen garden.
You’re more likely to spot wildlife than you are other people, with local fauna ranging from bold and brash macaques and dusky leaf monkeys to sea otters, hermit crabs and even hawksbill and green turtles, which come to lay their eggs on the near-deserted shoreline.
The showstopping Villa One is a four-bedroom, split-level beachfront fantasy with its own 27-metre pool and private spa treatment room.
The Desaru Coast is a vibrant destination with a mix of activities for all ages, from guided rainforest discoveries to water park thrills and music festivals
