SCHOOL'S out and children all across the country are celebrating.
If you’re looking for a unique holiday experience, why not escape to Malaysia’s very own Desaru Coast, an all inclusive destination resort filled with experiences for the entire family ensuring that there is something for everyone.
Nestled against a pristine backdrop of white sandy beaches, Desaru Coast is a sprawling coastal destination with four globally renowned five-star resorts, luxurious spas, educational eco-tours, an adventure waterpark, and two award winning golf courses amongst other stellar facilities.
A splashing great time
The Adventure Waterpark Desaru Coast is home to the first-ever water coaster in the region and one of the biggest wave pools in the world. The waterpark features more than 20 wet and dry rides, slides and attractions, and its very own beach and surf simulator.
Open to families with kids of all ages, you don’t have to worry about food or a place for the little ones to rest as you can rent a Beachside Cabana for RM400 for the entire family that comes with snacks, merchandise, and a safety deposit box so that you can enjoy a stress free day in the sun. Prices for the Waterpark start from RM75 for MYKad holders and RM110 for non-Malaysians.
Additionally, each hotel at Desaru Coast offers plenty of water sport opportunities like jet skiing, paddle boarding, wakeboarding, banana boat rides and more.
Young explorers unite
Desaru Coast, through its eco-tourism partner, Junglewalla, has a special Young Explorers Club for children from 8 to12 that allows them to discover the wonders of science through hands-on exploration and experience.
From RM150 for each package, children will be able to bring out their inner explorer as they learn more about Earth’s history, marvel at the intricacies of the forest ecosystem, discover the world of insects, build their own terrarium and so much more.
There are also activities by Junglewalla for the whole family such as birdwatching and the Sungai Lebam River Cruise for families to enjoy together. Prices start from RM120 for adults and RM60 for children
A short 40-minute drive away from the coast, families can visit the Kota Tinggi Firefly Park by Junglewalla for a sunset evening with nature’s little lamps.
Enjoy the buzz of the city
Johor Bahru City Centre is just a day trip away to fully immerse in everything the state has to offer. If you're family are lego fans, visit the Legoland Malaysia Resort.
For a tea time snack, stop by Hiap Joo bakery, a 100 year old bakery known for their soft and fluffy bamboo baked banana cake and introduce your children to a bit of your childhood with the range of nostalgic childhood biscuits available there.
Take time to unwind
Each hotel at Desaru Coast has their very own Kids Club where you can drop your child off, knowing that they will be well taken care of while you head off for a quick spa or golf date with your partner. For sportier couples, bring your bicycles along to experience the sights and sounds of the beautiful coast. – The Vibes, February 22, 2023
