The packages bundle rooms at the destination’s three premium hotels – Hard Rock Hotel, The Westin and Anantara, curated activities and resort credits of up to RM100 to be used within the destination.

For golf enthusiasts, Desaru Coast’s Golf Galore is offered on twin sharing basis and starts from RM799 per person for a two-days, one night stay. The package includes hotel stays, two days of unlimited golf at The Els Club Desaru Coast Ocean Course as well as unlimited access to the nine-hole Academy Course and the driving range.

Roslina Arbak, CEO, Desaru Development Holdings One Sdn. Bhd. said, “We have curated these flexible packages to meet the demands and expectation of the market during these challenging times. We also have a list of non-contact sporting activities as well as edutainment programmes in place and tied to our new promotional campaign. Through our “Don’t join the crowd” campaign we promote decoupling from densely populated places and leverage on our destination expanse spaces for guests to immerse in curated activities from sea to the 17 km of pristine coastal shore. This includes education-enriched nature-based programmes ranging from a visit to the fruit farm, individual ATV (All-terrain-vehicle) experience, mangrove exploration to trekking at the Panti Forrest.”

 

Arbak added, “the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) certainly augurs well for business travellers and the domestic tourism for a jumpstart that is needed towards supporting economic recovery. Since the announcement of the RMCO, we have been receiving an encouraging response from the domestic market as people start planning for short vacations after being restricted to their homes.”
