THE SWING
The Desaru Valley Course Club House includes a restaurant, state-of-the-art
golf shop, luxury locker rooms and a meeting space for up to 120 people.
Take in sea views in one of the Deluxe rooms at Anantara Desaru
Coast Resorts & Villas.
Expansive residences offer families utmost privacy with an infinity pool, full kitchen
and chef and butler service.
Besides two fantastic golf venues, each course
boasts a fully fitted clubhouse. The Ocean Course’s
clubhouse is a decadent masterpiece, at 45,000 square
feet, views for miles over the golf course and into the
South China Sea and the 261 Bar and Restaurant, it’s
the ultimate 19 th hole. The Valley Course’s clubhouse
is a slightly different design, with an open plaza design
and casual dining area, it’s more of a traditional golf
club atmosphere.
Each course at The Els Club Desaru Coast has a
pristine short game area and full grass driving range,
meaning both perfect to warm up before a game, or
even to get in some extra practice.
A Pampering Service
It says something about the splendour of the Desaru
coast that a destination as beautiful as the Anantara
Desaru Coast Resort and Villas can still feel like
a hideaway while you plan a golfing trip to the Els
Club. The newly built resort offers a range of luxury
accommodation nestled in lush tropical gardens.
The resort has 123 keys comprising 90 deluxe guest
rooms in low-rise buildings that overlook the gardens,
lagoon and ocean; thirteen stand-alone luxury one
and two-bedroom pool villas; and 20 expansive threeand
four-bedroom residences that offer guests utmost
privacy with an infinity pool, full kitchen and chef
and butler service.
The resort’s architectural design resembles
traditional Malay buildings and is adorned with
indigenous materials and fabrics such as woven textiles;
renowned Malaysian wicker elements and silhouettes
of traditional Malay crafts. The luxurious pool villas
are located around a lagoon and their design draws
heavily from a traditional kampung house with floorto-ceiling
windows; slanted carved wooden panels;
louvres and vents under the roof and wide- open doors
that allow natural airflow to cool the interior. With such
luxurious pampering services and spectacular golf
courses, there’s no reason not to visit Desaru Coast.
Enjoy a special Stay & Play package of 2D1N stay in a
