Malaysia's Desaru Coast emerges as prime real estate investment destination

BANDAR PENAWAR, Malaysia - May 13, 2021 - PRLog -- Malaysia offers a vibrant culture, easy access to other regional economic hubs and attractive investment returns that will likely see sustained economic growth in the decade ahead.

According to a 2020 study from Juwai (https://list.juwai.com/platform?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvKjUyq6E8AIVKSCtBh3qhgYBEAAYASAAEgLRavD_BwE), Malaysia now ranks among the top five preferred countries for Asian real estate investors, with Johor placing in the top five buyer destinations within Malaysia. Despite COVID-19, Johor has the highest projected average property price increases compared to other states.

"The current global pandemic has reshaped the real estate market in destinations like Desaru Coast that benefit from a prime beachfront location, luxury offerings and connection to major cities," said Mr. Micah Tamthai, Vice President of Real Estate, Minor International. "It has underscored the importance of nature and space, wellness and well-being, and working or running a business from virtually anywhere. All of these trends have positively affected demand for products that address them – including our Anantara-branded luxury residences."

"For those who are looking to earn rental returns from their real estate investment, we are seeing a similar shift in demand in the tourism industry," added Mr. Tamthai. "With the pandemic reviving interest in domestic tourism and with off-the-beaten-path destinations like Desaru Coast now accessible to a more diverse group of travellers, we think the timing could not be better for those looking to benefit from first-mover advantage as a pioneering investor in this nascent market."

Desaru Coast now features a variety of hotels and resorts, two championship golf courses, an adventure waterpark, duty-free shopping and a lot more, with more retail spaces being planned in the near future. Additional infrastructure will include a jetty terminal connecting Desaru Coast to the future Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal and a bridge potentially linking nearby Pengerang to Changi, to further boost travel from and to Singapore and beyond.

Anantara Desaru Coast Residences features 20 three- and four-bedroom luxury villas – each with a fully furnished living space, a private infinity pool and direct access to the beach. The residences are situated along the pristine beach facing the South China Sea and managed, maintained and serviced by Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas. Owners and residents benefit from full access to the resort's world-class facilities, including a private beach, Anantara Spa, a variety of restaurants and more.
