One&Only Resorts has revealed the opening date for its first Asian property, One&Only Desaru Coast. Located on the south-eastern shoreline of Malaysia and set between lush rainforests and the South China Sea, One&Only Desaru Coast will welcome guests from 23 March 2020.

Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas have ventured into Malaysia for the first time with their latest luxury property, the stunning Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas, scheduled to open on 1 December 2019.

Tourism Malaysia this week returned to Australia with a three city roadshow after a period of “hibernation”, in the lead up to its ‘Visit Malaysia 2020’ international campaign. The new drive aims to attract 30 million overseas visitors to the country, and a visitor spend of RM100 billion (AU$34.4 billion) in receipts next year.

The resort aims to offer guests once-in-a-lifetime encounters with wildlife in one of the largest and least explored protected areas in Malaysia.
