Desaru Coast's hotels in this directory sit within the integrated beach-resort development on Johor's southeast coast, facing the South China Sea about an hour and a half from Johor Bahru and reachable by ferry from Singapore. The enclave pairs a long sandy beach with a waterpark, golf courses and a conference centre, so the resorts here suit self-contained leisure, golf and MICE stays rather than city travel.
