DestinAsian magazine has once again compiled the results of its annual Readers’ Choice Awards poll, now in its 17th year, featured in the March/May 2024 print issue.
The Awards empower readers to vote and acknowledge top luxury travel providers in the Asia-Pacific region by offering travellers a voice to reflect on and share their experiences across Asia Pacific.
Voters were invited to comment on their preferred accommodations, highlighting the quality of service, unique location, exceptional dining, or distinctive design.
Positioned along the immaculate beach of Desaru Coast, Malaysia’s most fashionable destination, Anantara Desaru Coast appeals to the most discerning travellers with its beachfront residential-style accommodations, including the newly launched three- and four-bedroom villas, as well as world-class dining, the award-winning Anantara Spa, and a plethora of nature-inspired leisure activities, making it a favoured retreat for families, honeymooners and Singaporeans seeking a peaceful weekend getaway.
