Twenty-five kilometres of white, sandy beach and lush tropical greenery highlight the beach of Desaru - the most popular beach in Johor. Located 98km north east of Johor Bahru, Desaru, or "Village of Casuarinas", is developed by the South Johor Development Authority (KEJORA) to boost tourism industry in Johor.
Desaru is a great destination for family vacation as it offers varieties of activities for the whole family such as swimming, fishing, snorkelling, canoeing, horse riding, jungle trekking, go-carting, golfing and windsurfing. Regarded as Johor's 'gold mine', it is equipped with a wide range of facilities and several up-market resorts, each with its own individual character. An 18-hole golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. makes Desaru a well-known destination among golfers.
Apart from first-class hotels and resorts, other accommodations available include chalets, dormitories and camping facilities for those looking for a back-to-nature experience. Facilities at the beachfront include picnic grounds, restaurants, food outlets and souvenir shops.
