Location

You’ll find Desaru Beach located in the very southern part of Malaysia, with a view of the South China sea. If you’re going from Johor Bahru, it’s a drive of over one hour. Desaru beach is also a popular destination for Singaporeans, due to its close vicinity to Singapore.

The ideal time to visit

Before making a booking at Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas or any of the other beach resorts in Malaysia, you will need to ensure that you’re going at a time where you can enjoy Desaru Beach to the fullest. It’s best to avoid the monsoon season, which falls between November and February. The best time to visit is between June and August, which is the most popular season!

What to pack

Since Desaru beach is mostly a beach destination, you will need to pack some beach essentials such as swimwear, flip flops, sunscreen, and a couple of hats. However, these can be bought in and around Desaru Beach, but it’s better to have them ready just in case you want to start the fun right away!

Things to do

Desaru Beach is not short of fun activities. With an uninterrupted coastline, dash Outdoors for exciting water activities and Desaru Riverside for shopping; you’re unlikely to feel bored when you’re here! Look forward to a memorable time.
