Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas, an award-winning luxury resort on Malaysia's Desaru Coast, invites families to settle into a private residence of their own with a curated three-night package that includes full-board dining and guided coastal experiences for all ages.
The Private Residences Family Escape package is set within Anantara Residences Desaru Coast's exclusive enclave of 20 garden and beach residences, where two-, three- and four-bedroom residences start from 254 sqm and the amenities of the resort remain at the family's disposal. Garden residences sit hidden in lush greenery, each with an infinity pool for complete privacy. Beach Residences open onto a manicured lawn with an uninterrupted ocean panorama from almost every angle, so days pass by the pool in the ocean breeze and nights end with al fresco bathing and the lull of the waves.
Activities for All Family Members
Days at Anantara Desaru Coast are filled with hands-on experiences. In the Spice Spoons Malaysian cooking class, a signature Anantara experience, a master chef takes over the fully equipped residence kitchen to explain the exotic ingredients and teach the family to grill in banana leaf and wok-fry to perfection. A guided mangrove tour then cruises quiet waterways, uncovering the secrets of the coastal ecosystem and introducing guests to local fishing communities. The resort's Naturalist leads a guided walk to get up close with indigenous wildlife and the tiny inhabitants of the tide pools. Evenings can end at a private outdoor cinema, with snacks and drinks on hand.
When the family wants time apart, the resort has something for every age. Young explorers head to the Layang Layang Kids' Club for activities that spark creativity and fun, from culinary adventures to classic beach games, while teenagers claim the Luncur Ombak Active Zone, a space to watch movies or make friends over video games, pinball, foosball and table tennis. Mom and dad can book an Anantara Spa treatment to enjoy it within the privacy of the residence, with therapies inspired by East and West and enriched with florals, from bath soaks and massages to beautifying treatments.
Families can savour gourmet international and Asian flavours at any hour. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served daily in the residence, where a private chef prepares elevated dining, or at Turmeric, the resort's all-day dining venue. There, the restaurant pairs international classics with authentic Malaysian and Thai selections, and live cooking stations showcase fresh local produce and indulgent buffets. For added variety, families can indulge in a float breakfast in their private infinity pool, and a private barbecue dinner can be set up in the residence or on the beach.
Throughout the stay, a personal butler looks after every detail, from personalised amenities to thoughtful turndown gifts, and arranges the family's VIP airport arrival and departure at either end of the visit.
