Desaru is a beach resort in Kota Tinggi District in the state of Johor, Malaysia, about 60 km from Johor Bahru and facing the South China Sea. It is known for a pristine beach, a water park and a large integrated resort area, and it grew into a popular camping spot as luxury hotel resorts opened along the coast. Time magazine named it one of the world greatest places in 2021, the only destination in Malaysia on that list. The Johor state government has been developing an integrated tourism area of 1,578 hectares here. Several boarding schools stand nearby. Road access is by the Senai-Desaru Expressway, and since July 2022 a ferry terminal has linked Desaru with the Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal in Singapore on five days of each week.
