Kerzner International Holdings Limited has announced the introduction of the One&Only lifestyle development in Desaru Coast, Malaysia.

Kerzner International Holdings Limited (Kerzner) is an international developer and operator of destination resorts, luxury hotels and residences, which operates brands such as Atlantis and One&Only, created for the luxury market. As part of its strategy to grow internationally, the group has announced plans to expand in Desaru Coast, a resort with a portfolio of leisure destinations and premium lifestyle villages.

Michael Wale, chief executive officer at Kerzner International, said: “We are proud to have been selected to operate the ultra-luxury resort on Desaru Coast as One&Only and we look forward to announcing an opening date in the near future. With the evolution of One&Only and the introduction of One&Only Private Homes, Nature Resorts, and Urban Resorts, One&Only Desaru Coast will be an incredible beach destination, with an exclusive residential community.”

One&Only Desaru Coast will be a 128-acre beachfront development with 42 suites, 2 luxury suites, and an exclusive 4-bedroom villa, as well as approximately 50 One&Only Private Homes available for purchase. This will be the first property of the brand in Malaysia, as part of its expanding collection.

“One&Only Desaru Coast will offer a magnetic hideaway”

Wale added: “As part of the continued strategic global growth of Kerzner International, Malaysia is the perfect location for the next One&Only resort and for the brand to enter Asia. We look forward to continuing to introduce new experiences for our guests to discover and One&Only Desaru Coast will offer a magnetic hideaway, all delivered with the warm and authentic service that One&Only is known for.”

The resort will be designed by the architectural firm, Kerry Hill Architects, who will place an emphasis on privacy, creating ‘the ultimate hideaway’. It will be accessible from Singapore Changi International Airport and Senai International Airport in Johor and will feature amenities such as a fitness centre, spa, three restaurants, and The Els Club Desaru Coast, a 27-hole championship golf course nearby.
