According to the magazine, Desaru Coast offers the global audience a beach escape experience with their range of international hotels, golf-courses, and cruises through the Sedili Wetlands.

It also highlighted the upcoming opening of the Desaru Coast Ferry Terminal which will offer increased transit options for Singapore and Indonesia.
According to Desaru Coast Destination Resort’s Managing Director, Roslina Arbak, they were honoured to be recognised by a renowned publication and were proud to be representing both Johor and Malaysia.
“This is an outstanding achievement for a team only two years in operations, and after what has been and continues to be a challenging time for the industry.
“With this notable feather in our cap, we look forward to welcoming guests from all over the world once travel resumes,” Roslina said.
Nestled against 17 kilometres of pristine beachfront, Desaru Coast is also the home to world class hotels including Asia’s first, One and Only Desaru Coast, Anantara Desaru Coast Resort and Villas, The Westin Desaru Coast Resort and Hard Rock Hotel Desaru Coast.
Desaru Coast also has two world class golf courses and is home to the region’s largest adventure waterpark.
Other places that are in the Top 100 list also include the Portuguese town of Arouca (home to the world’s longest pedestrian suspension bridge) and the continent of Antarctica (it will experience a rare total solar eclipse in December).

Mudland is a country of great potential, lots of natural resources, many wonderful natural attractions. Pity it is run and occupied by m&ds.

Oi! If its PAP, there would be no natural coastline left.

There are great beaches in Johor. But better be accompanied by some locals. I used to have a great time driving the Hilux belonging to a local Mat friend there and exploring the places together with him and few kakis.

I have a resort apt there which I bought for Rm175k during the boom times in 1995, back then the developer had even sought Jacky Chan and Anita Mui to help launch this big project and I thought it was a good idea with it's proximity via ferry that can transport vehicles at Changi ferry terminal in the 90s selling like hotcakes but unfortunately, many investors got burned including me. Even though it is in full operation now as a resort apt I have yet to receive a single cent from my investment except as an owner I can have a few free days stay which I did several times when it was completed in early 2001, the last time I was there was in Dec 2018 and this is what it looks like now. I tried selling it back to the white knight who takes over the development but can't do so for another 8yrs to lease them to recouped their revamp and renovations of the whole resort.

Desaru is truly a great place for a short stay a much better option than driving to kuantan for a break, I really like driving to sungei ringgit a small town for excellent seafood and shopping which is half hour from my resort. I have to agree the whole tourism industry in desaru is very very badly managed which is a pity.

There are great beaches in Johor. But better be accompanied by some locals. I used to have a great time driving the Hilux belonging to a local Mat friend there and exploring the places together with him and few kakis.

The reason why it's best to bring along a local there if you ever think of having an adventure in Johor or other parts of Malaysia is simple. One of the reasons is the encounters with the Matland cops there especially during roadblocks. The locals can talk their way out of trouble, the last thing you need is a bunch of burly moustachioed rogue cops harassing you for kopi money while you're out to have fun. Lucky for me it had been plain sailing while facing roadblocks there. The cops would ask, oh you from Singapore, you like come Johor jalan jalan? This one your Johor kawan kawan? No go massage at Blue Wave? LoL... Driving my friend's Hilux in a Tangkak rubber estate terrain is quite an experience that I'll never forget. There are some things you just unable to experience in concrete jungle Singapore.

As a regular visitor of Johor, actually at one point of time, I was tempted to buy a seaside property there like your apartment. Not for any future investment but just to treat it as a holiday home and to bring back the JB based Siam Bus there. LOL
