Desaru Coast.
A multifaceted investment gem
Vision and value converge in a destination of refined hospitality, shaped by thoughtful, long-term development for guests, communities, and investors alike.
A world away,
close to home
Desaru Coast welcomes travellers with world-class accessibility. Served by 3 international airports, the destination is just 3.5 hours from Kuala Lumpur International Airport, 1 hour from Senai International Airport, and 2 hours from Changi International Airport. Enhancing its global reach, the Desaru Coast Ferry Terminal offers a direct 1.5-hour journey from Singapore’s Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal, creating a smooth 90-minute connection to this coastal sanctuary.
Desaru Coast also falls within an 8-hour travel radius of more than 4 billion people across Asia Pacific and Australasia, offering seamless access for travellers from some of the world’s most thriving economies.
A region on the rise
"In Southern Johor’s East Coast, a new economic region emerges from isolation."
... a relatively sleepy cluster of small towns on the lesser known south-eastern coast of the state is now showing signs of organically forming an economic region, spurred by a large oil and gas project in Pengerang and a rejuvenated tourism hub in Desaru."
The Straits Times, Singapore
January 2023
“The state of Johor has started to experience traction with Desaru Coast being a contributor to economic growth. In addition to driving tourism growth, Desaru Coast catalyses socio-economic progress in the Johor Tenggara area through job creation and with the economic spillover of world-class destination resort operations through the opening of new businesses.”
YB Dato’ Ramlee bin A Rahman, Chief Executive Officer of Permodalan Darul Ta’zim, shareholder and state-linked investment arm
“In Johor Darul Ta’zim, Desaru Coast is now well-positioned to drive tourism revenue, create and maintain jobs and contribute to socio-economic progress. It is also starting to emerge as an investment destination, drawing attention from both local and international hospitality and property development investors looking to offer a diverse mix of products and concepts.
YB Lee Ting Han, Johor State Exco for Investment, Trade, Consumer Affairs & Human Resources Ta’zim, shareholder and state-linked investment arm
