Authentic Luxury Inspired by Local Culture
1. Company Overview
Anantara Hotels & Resorts, part of the global hospitality portfolio of Minor Hotels, is renowned for delivering immersive, high-end travel experiences rooted in cultural authenticity and indigenous charm. The brand made its Malaysian debut with the launch of Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas in 2019—marking a milestone in the brand’s expansion into Southeast Asia’s most alluring beachfront destinations.
Located along the unspoiled golden sands of Malaysia’s southern coastline, Anantara Desaru Coast is a collaboration between Minor International and Themed Attractions Resorts & Hotels Sdn. Bhd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Khazanah Nasional Berhad, Malaysia’s sovereign wealth fund. This landmark property seamlessly blends Anantara’s signature Thai hospitality with Malaysia’s rich coastal heritage.
