About Mandarin Oriental\u002c Desaru Coast
Malaysia’s Desaru Coast is a rare thing: a novel destination, thanks to a recent wave of development. It’s clear from a glance at Mandarin Oriental, Desaru Coast that this development has been extraordinarily sensitive — this resort is one of the final works of the late Kerry Hill, whose lush, verdant beach resorts are legendary all across Asia. The accommodations are ultra-luxe, the setting nothing short of spectacular, and the beach club and the Chenot spa are maximally restorative. So are the handful of restaurants and bars, from the Mediterranean-Malaysian Ambara to the omakase menu at Hoshi.
