There’s also One&Only Desaru Coast’s signature 50-metre infinity pool which appears to stretch through a break in the coastal trees to the ocean beyond, connecting the sparkling waters.

Sand

Kilometres of pristine sands line One&Only Desaru’s stunning coast, providing endless locations for you to claim as your own as you take in the beauty of the lush, unspoilt nature and blue waters.
