Ingenious landscaping and considered nods to Malaysia\u2019s architectural and cultural heritage are integral to the package at Anantara Desaru Coast Residences in Johor<\/p>\n

The boutique collection of 20 seaside pool villas, managed and serviced by Anantara, marks Minor International\u2019s first foray into luxury real estate development in Malaysia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Malaysia is making Desaru Coast great again.<\/p>\n

A favourite of holidaymakers from nearby Singapore since the 1980s, the 17-kilometre beach-fringed strip in southeastern Johor has pried the spotlight from the peninsula\u2019s other tourism hubs, with a little nudge from Khazanah Nasional Berhad, Malaysia\u2019s sovereign wealth fund. It is, as former tourism minister Mohamed Nazri Bin Abdul Aziz says, an attraction the government has been \u201cbanking on\u201d, with an international ferry terminal due to open in 2021.<\/p>\n

Themed Attractions Resorts & Hotels Sdn Bhd (TARH), a unit of Khazanah Nasional Bhd, is transmuting Desaru Coast into a $1.1bn premium integrated destination resort. Garlanding 1,578 hectares (3,900 acres) of the peninsula, the Desaru Coast master development opened to the public in 2016 with a 27-hole golf course designed by South African great Ernie Els and, a year later, an 18-holer designed by Fijian maestro Vijay Singh. The 25-acre Adventure Waterpark, one of the world\u2019s biggest theme parks, followed suit in 2018, as did a 23-acre waterfront retail village.<\/p>\n

Big-hitting hospitality brands have washed ashore, too, from Hard Rock Hotel to The Westin and One&Only. Partnering with TARH, Thai development giant Minor International opened the Anantara Coast Resort & Villas in 2019, followed by the adjacent Anantara Desaru Coast Residences last year.<\/p>\n

The latter, a boutique collection of 20 seaside pool villas managed and serviced by Anantara, marks Minor International\u2019s first foray into luxury real estate development in Malaysia. \u201cFrom a development perspective, we are mindful that we are investing in an emerging, up-and-coming location as a first mover,\u201d says Micah Tamthai, vice president of real estate at Minor International. \u201cWhilst there is some work that we need to do to raise more awareness on the destination, Malaysian travellers are also increasingly taking up the opportunity to discover up-and-coming destinations like Desaru Coast.\u201d<\/p>\n

Minor International set the $195.6m development into motion as early as 2014 when the company shortlisted WOW Architects to join the project. The Singapore-based design consultancy won the invitation-only bid with its progressive, eco-sensitive masterplan concept for the branded residences. \u201cWe feel that the way forward for new resort developments is an eco-awareness principle that must be purposeful and engaging to its guests, residents and locality,\u201d says Wong Chiu Man, managing director at WOW Architects.<\/p>\n

The developer instructed the design team to cast Anantara Desaru Coast Residences in the mould of indigenous architecture and craftsmanship. The development has been master-planned as a triumvirate of zones that reference Malaysia\u2019s rich heritage of architectural movements: Colonial Plantation, reflecting late 19th century Malaya; Malay Kampung House, defining vernacular culture; and the Beach, mirroring the geography of the peninsula.<\/p>\n

Set beside Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas \u2013 the Thai hospitality brand\u2019s first luxury hotel in Malaysia \u2013 Anantara Desaru Coast Residences offers fully furnished seaside pool villas alongside a full complement of five-star resort facilities in an eco-sensitive setting. Some units even feature flat eco-roofs that allow local flora to grow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cThe team of architects, interior designers, and landscape consultants collaborated to develop a shared vision and a common design language, comprising motifs, colours and a restrained but relevant material palette, to evoke an authentic but modern resort and residential experience that remembers the past but also looks forward to the future,\u201d says Tamthai.<\/p>\n

The villas trade on frame-worthy views of the South China Sea, although the topographical quirks of the 304,000 square foot site made them labour-intensive goals at first. \u201cThe original site was relatively flat, and we had to design a masterplan that allows for ocean views throughout the site,\u201d recounts Wong. \u201cThis was achieved through shaping the terrain of the site by raising the ocean-view \u2018beach residence villas\u2019 to a higher platform level as well as creating a natural stone and landscaped hotel podium that blends into the topography while maintaining the natural appearance of the landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n

The intent was to create inspiring, open, spacious, and well-ventilated indoor and outdoor spaces which are key features to tropical living<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Twelve three-bedroom pool villas and eight four-bedroom pool villas, in built-up sizes ranging from 3,100 sq ft to 6,426 sq ft, have since risen onsite. Four of the four-bedroom villas sprawl over a single storey, with master bedrooms that have direct access to beach and pool alike. The four-bedroomers also have four two-storey variants, featuring multi-purpose spaces with vantage points of the ocean.<\/p>\n

\"\"
On a clear day, the villas open to panoramic views of the South China Sea and lush greeneries, framed by enormous floor-to-ceiling sliding glass panels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Expansive, floor-to-ceiling glass facades marry the panoramas of the sea to the interiors and maximise passive lighting and natural ventilation. Living, dining and family spaces spill onto the pool terraces. \u201cThe intent was to create inspiring, open, spacious, and well-ventilated indoor and outdoor spaces which are key features to tropical living,\u201d says Wong.<\/p>\n

Malaysia\u2019s own EDC Interiors opted for decorative and furnishing choices that recall fishing nets, weathered wood, and the cerulean blue of the ocean, wresting inspiration from Desaru Coast\u2019s origins as a fishing area. \u201cWhile contemporary, we wanted the design to also reflect the infusion of local touches,\u201d says Vincent Koh, principal of EDC Interiors. \u201cInside each villa, we created a tranquil beach hideaway with a timeless aesthetic that pays tribute to local traditions and culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matte beige stone floors, brown and grey wood, and textured fabric further anchor the interiors in nature. \u201cThe elegant, subtle colour palette, materials, and d\u00e9cor allow the panoramic coastal scenery to be the main focal point,\u201d adds Koh.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Each villa has an open-plan layout, with generously sized dining and living spaces that flow out to the private infinity pool<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The landscaping, courtesy of Element Design Studio, was zone-specific, veering between ruggedness and artifice. In the Beach ecology, villas are set in natural shrubland on tree-lined, sandy, sloping terraces that connote a wild coastal environment. In contrast, the Kampung and Colonial Plantation ecologies are carpeted in more manicured, manmade-looking landscapes.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach ecological zone has its distinct landscape characteristics,\u201d says Wong. \u201cTo preserve the trees that are growing onsite, we had to set back the beach residence villas to minimise the impact of the zone and at the same time make provisions for beach access while maintaining privacy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The design team exercised more lateral thinking with the roofscape. Waterproof reinforced concrete structures with stone gravel toppings enable the roofs of the villas to become substrates for plant life. \u201cThe eco flat roof concept was designed to allow local flora to grow and inhabit it over time,\u201d explains Wong. \u201cOver time, guests and residents will be able to enjoy a view of green roofs blending with the natural landscape along the beachfront.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cool breezes naturally fan the units, reducing energy loads during the monsoon season. The architects also made their preferences known for low-maintenance, low-impact building materials. With products locally sourced from renewable sources, construction began in July 2017.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe direction from the client and their team was to build the project sustainably and responsibly,\u201d Wong says. \u201cThis required tremendous cooperation between designers, project managers, contractors and suppliers, to bring this vision to life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Priced from MYR7.5m, the residences have begun handover since 2020, with some units \u201creserved by private Malaysian buyers\u201d, reports Tamthai. \u201cAs Desaru Coast becomes more developed, the value of land and property will appreciate, which will translate to long-term capital gains for us and our residential owners as a first mover in this pioneering destination.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anantara Desaru Coast Residences offers investors a rental programme managed by Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas. End users have full access to the resort\u2019s five-star amenities and services, including Anantara Spa, offering Thai and Malay treatments alike, and Dining By Design, Anantara\u2019s signature private dining experience.<\/p>\n

Malaysian, Thai and international fare awaits diners in various restaurants: from alfresco dining by the beach at Sea.Fire.Salt to indoor gastronomy at Turmeric, plus vintages and cigars at Observatory Bar. Butlers are on call 24 hours a day, and private chefs are bookable. Homeowners bask in a lagoon pool and infinity pool as alternatives to the sea; younger ones enjoy the kids and teens\u2019 clubs.<\/p>\n

\"\"
In addition to the lagoon pool and ocean-fronting infinity pool within the adjoining resort, the villas offer a spacious private pool and sundeck that champion the use of durable materials and provide scope for outdoor entertaining<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cAs a branded residence, our product would be as valuable as a family or multi-generational holiday home as it would an investment property,\u201d says Tamthai. \u201cShould they choose to resell in the future, the branded residence offering places them in a better position to leverage land and villa capital appreciation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the pandemic\u2019s assault on tourism, Minor International will be launching this year more Anantara-branded residential developments, also in symbiosis with adjoining hospitality properties. Avadina Hills by Anantara, 11 Japanese-inspired pool villas, will rise adjacent to the Anantara Layan Phuket Resort in Thailand while Anantara Ubud Bali Villas, 15 pool villas with expansive forest views, will open in Indonesia.<\/p>\n

Adds Tamthai: \u201cCovid-19 has underlined our collective desire to escape to destinations like Desaru Coast \u2013 those which offer nature and space, where \u2018social distancing\u2019 is a given and where the emphasis is placed on wellness and wellbeing.\u201d<\/p>\n
