Discover a prime beachfront investment opportunity with this Johor resort land. Spanning 14.54 acres with commercial zoning, this property offers an unobstructed Facing Sea View in one of Malaysia’s most promising tourism destinations, strategically located near Desaru Coast.

Situated in a peaceful environment surrounded by resort homes and retreat centres, this land is ideal for resort hotels, water villas, restaurants, luxury homes, and other business or residential projects. The leasehold tenure extends to 2106, providing a solid 80-year horizon for investment.

Strategic Location

This property is positioned within Johor’s growing tourism belt. The location offers convenient access to key attractions, being just 10 minutes from Jomis Old Jetty and 12 minutes from J.G. Resort.

The area is gaining significant recognition as a premium tourism destination. The nearby Desaru Coast, approximately 15 minutes from the property, has attracted major international brands. Mandarin Oriental recently rebranded a 128-acre beachfront resort there, with 44 suites and villas offering direct beach access. This signals strong confidence in Johor’s tourism potential.

Other successful developments in the region include the Rina Balinese Resort in Senai and the Sea Horizon Resort in Kota Tinggi, featuring glamping dome tents with beachfront access. The presence of these established properties demonstrates strong market demand for resort experiences in Johor.

Johor’s tourism market is experiencing significant growth, driven by major international investments. The recent entry of Mandarin Oriental into Desaru Coast validates the region’s luxury resort potential. This development is part of a broader strategy ahead of Visit Johor Year 2026.

Recent transactions for resort land in Johor demonstrate strong market activity:

• 4.5-acre commercial freehold land in Pengerang with beachfront access: RM15.7M (RM80 psf)
• 3-acre commercial resort in Senai: RM9M (RM69 psf)
• 1.84-acre beachfront residential land in Pengerang: RM5.2M, suitable for resort conversion

Scarcity of sizeable beachfront plots makes this 14.54-acre property a rare opportunity. The leasehold tenure until 2106 provides a long-term horizon for development and investment recovery.

Development Potential

The commercial zoning and beachfront position of this property allow for multiple high-value concepts:

• Resort Hotels: Boutique or large-scale resort with beachfront accommodations
• Water Villas: Over-water villa concept similar to successful developments in the region
• Luxury Homes: Private villa enclave or residential project
• Wellness Retreats: Spa and wellness centre capitalising on the peaceful environment
