Malaysia’s southwestern coastal line is a trail of golden sands that leads you to the tropical village of Desaru. While it was a hidden gem in Malaysia, Desaru is now becoming a hot spot for tourism with the introduction of several grand resorts, inviting visitors that crave some vitamin sea and tropical goodness.
Beach Time Fun
Sheltering a collection of beach resorts in Malaysia, Desaru is the ideal destination for some beach time fun. Most resorts like Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas offer private beaches for some fun in the sun, as you sip on a fruity cocktail to cool off under the tropical weather. The ocean waves are perfectly crafted by nature for water sports like paddle-boarding, boating and even swimming.
Adventures at The Waterpark
Located in the epicentre of the resort town, the Adventure Waterpark is a must-visit spot for thrilling rides at one of the largest wave pools in Southeast Asia. Revel in a wide range of adventure rides like race-car fast slides with your little ones, in a pool of exciting activities catered to the young and old alike.
Nature’s Fruity Gifts
Desaru Fruit Farm is a paradise of nature’s fruity gifts. Desaru houses 180 acres of tropical fruit groves that will prove to be luscious and addictive. Caramelised bananas are a crowd favourite snack at the fruit farm as you are most likely to stack bags and bags of chips to take home and munch down by yourself. This family-friendly farm offers educational bee exhibits, a petting zoo as well as a fishing pond.
Authentic Cuisine
Ranging from their signature breakfast dish, Nasi lemak to Indian, Chinese and many other global menus, Malaysia can source most of the vegetables, rice and other ingredients, locally. As a tropical island of divine fruit and vegetables, the food in Desaru will leave a lasting impression on your foodie’s heart.
