Sun-seekers heading to Malaysia’s scenic Desaru Coast this summer are in for a treat, as Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas rolls out a series of seasonal experiences and indulgent offers, perfect for a mid-year escape.

The big news? A brand new room category – the Anantara Sea View Suite – has just launched. This 49-square-metre hideaway features a wrap-around terrace for uninterrupted sea views, premium in-room amenities, and a daily-stocked minibar (yes, it’s included). Guests can book it on its own or enjoy it as part of special packages like Advance Purchase, Stay Longer, or Best Flexible Rate.

Once settled in, head to the Observatory Bar between 3pm and 7pm for the Champagne & Caviar Indulgence (RM388+). Think piccolo Moët & Chandon paired with five elegant caviar-topped canapés – all with panoramic views of the coast. For something a little more laid-back, Afternoon Tea at Turmeric is a poolside affair (RM168+ per couple, or RM368+ with bubbly), served daily from 3pm to 5pm. Expect a tower of sweet and savoury bites and endless cups of tea or coffee.

Meanwhile, at the award-winning Anantara Spa, summer is a time for true relaxation. The Aromatic Wellness Journey (RM450+) offers 90 minutes of aromatherapy massage bliss, followed by a complimentary 30-minute treatment of your choice – be it an express facial, body scrub or Indian head massage. Available until 30 September, it’s the perfect way to unwind after a day in the sun.

Whether you’re after romance, rest or just a reason to sip Champagne by the sea, Anantara Desaru’s seasonal selections tick all the right boxes.
