CALL IT THE super staycation. Those looking to avoid the mad scrum of revenge travel in the coming months would do well to check into One&Only Desaru Coast for instant reprieve and relaxation. The resort presents the ideal getaway: no flight delays, standing in line at immigration and endless waits at lounges. Rather, a mere two-and-a-half hours' drive from the Causeway or a leisurely four-hour drive from Kuala Lumpur brings you to the tree-fringed gates of this 128-acre private estate.
The resort's expanse of space allows for an incredible sense of freedom. That feeling stays with you whether you are taking the winding path down to the long stretch of pristine private beach or doing a headstand at sunrise by the yoga pavilion, swimming in the aquamarine waters of the infinity pool, exploring the verdant rainforest surroundings or partaking in a sporty activity at Club One.
A relaxing oasis of wellness awaits when you're done. At Chenot Spa, the first of its kind in Asia and the first in partnership with One&Only, a range of treatments and remedies are ready to soothe, calm and rejuvenate. There's nothing quite like its aromatherapy massage, which uses traditional Malay and deep tissue techniques to rebalance one's body, mind and soul.
