Mandarin Oriental is set to expand its
presence in Malaysia with the rebranding of a luxury resort and private
residences in Desaru Coast, Johor. Surrounded by rainforest and fronting the
South China Sea, the resort is expected to join the Mandarin Oriental portfolio
in June 2025, ahead of a full rebranding as Mandarin Oriental, Desaru Coast in
January 2026.
Located along 17km of unspoiled beachfront,
the property benefits from its proximity to Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.
The resort blends tropical modernism with
the natural landscape, featuring 44 suites and villas, many with plunge pools
and sea or rainforest views. Five dining venues offer global cuisine with local
flavours, while a beach club and lounge bar add to the relaxed atmosphere.
Wellness is a central focus, with The Spa
at Mandarin Oriental offering Oriental-inspired treatments, a yoga pavilion,
gym, salon, and tennis and padel courts. A Kids’ Club with indoor and outdoor
facilities enhances the family-friendly appeal.
The resort also offers event spaces and
panoramic views for weddings and private gatherings, and is located near the
Els Club Desaru Coast, which features championship courses by Ernie Els and
Vijay Singh.
Looking ahead, 40 branded residences are
planned to provide year-round luxury living with Mandarin Oriental’s signature
service.
“Mandarin Oriental, Desaru Coast represents
a significant step in our strategic vision to bring the group’s legendary
service and crafted experiences, that resonate deeply with today’s luxury traveller, to new and exceptional
locations,” said Laurent Kleitman, group chief executive of Mandarin Oriental.
Karina Ridzuan, interim group CEO of
Destination Resorts and Hotels, added: “We are confident this partnership will
set a new global benchmark and firmly place Desaru Coast as a destination for
luxury travel.”
