Desaru, located on the south eastern seaboard of Johor is an ideal resort destination that is easily accessible from Singapore and the rest of the country. Also known as the Village of Casuarinas, it commands a breathtaking 17-kilometer shoreline bordering the South China Sea and its tropical forest hinterland. The constant southeast trade winds blow gently, providing that vital ingredient for sailing and wind surfing, two of the most popular water sports here.
Easily accessible from Singapore and the northern areas by road via Kota Tinggi and by ferry services from Changi Point, Singapore. It takes 1 hour and 20 minutes drive from Johor Bahru to Desaru. I was lucky as the weather was perfect.
The view was great especially when you are about to enter Desaru. The landscape was well maintained and surrounded by lush greenery of tropical forest. You can see a couple of pictures taken. Public transport are available from Johor Bahru, Kota Tinggi and Tanjung Belungkor to Desaru. Approximate traveling time and distance when driving to Desaru :
From Johor Bahru 100 km 1 hr. 30 mm
From Kuala Lumpur 436 km 4 hrs. 15 mm
From Singapore 125 km 2 hrs. 15 mm
For those guests that prefer to travel by Ferry from Singapore. Operates four sailing a day between Changi Ferry Terminal and Tanjong Belungkor Ferry Terminal. The ferry has capacity for 400 passengers and 70 cars in its car deck.
