Luxury wellness retreats are becoming increasingly popular among modern travellers seeking focused and revitalising experiences. One&Only Desaru Coast, located just a 90-minute ferry trip from Singapore, exemplifies this trend with a diverse range of in-resort health activities ideal for all ages.
The One&Only Spa, which was recently refurbished in conjunction with Augustinus Bader, is central to this luxury resort. This relationship is notable because it is the first resort spa in Malaysia and Southeast Asia to carry the prestigious brand. Guests can enjoy a variety of stimulating facial and body treatments that incorporate Augustinus Bader's award-winning formulations as well as customised fascia and lymphatic flow techniques.
These therapies are intended to stimulate cellular regeneration and aid the body's natural repair processes. A collection of Malaysia-inspired treatments that draw on the country's multicultural background, such as cupping therapy, Ayurvedic medicine, and rhythmic massages utilising unique oils produced from native herbs and spices, round out the spa experience.
The spa welcomes all members of the family, providing pre-natal treatment for expectant moms and soothing massages for children. Bastien Gonzalez's PEDI:MANI Studio offers full wellness services, including skilled podiatry and manicures.
Beyond the spa, One&Only Desaru Coast has Club One, a venue dedicated to both active discovery and mindful rest. Guests can attend tennis or padel sessions with PBI-certified coaches, participate in a variety of fitness activities, or try new sports. The resort's wellness activities include PGA-certified golf instruction, yoga sessions at the Beach Yoga Pavilion, and traditional Silat Melayu martial arts training. Water activities at Ember Beach Club and leisurely bike rides around the property are offered for those looking for adventure, allowing them to enjoy the natural beauty of Desaru coast.
The resort also offers unique possibilities to immerse oneself in the breathtaking scenery of Malaysia's coastline. Guests can have a barefoot morning breakfast on the beach, a picnic lunch, or a barbecue evening by the water. Guided nature hikes and animal experiences, such as The Call of the Gibbons Experience, provide further insight into the local ecosystem and culture.
One&Only Desaru Coast is the ideal location for a transformative retreat that balances mind, body, and spirit. The resort's exclusive Wellness Escape Room Package includes a 55-minute signature treatment from One&Only or Augustinus Bader per person per night, as well as a private 60-minute Silat session at Club One. This entire wellness experience ensures that guests depart feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. More information is available on their website.
