Ride the waves of fun with Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas this surf season
As the peak surf season approaches on Malaysia’s pristine east coast, Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas, in collaboration with Dash Outdoors, is offering a unique opportunity to learn surfing in a breathtaking, less-explored part of the country. 
Good Waters
Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced surfer looking to refine your skills, the resort’s surfing lessons cater to all levels and age groups. The surf lessons take place at the secluded Wild Boar Bay, a hidden gem just a 15-minute drive from the resort. Known for its shallow waters, sandy breaks and three-foot waves, Wild Boar Bay is an ideal spot for surfing enthusiasts.
The beach remains untouched by large crowds, allowing you to enjoy the waves in a tranquil, natural setting. The lessons are led by certified surf instructors from Dash Outdoors, with groups of up to four guests per instructor to ensure personalised attention. 
Learn The Waves
Each lesson begins with a theoretical session on dry land, followed by one hour of water-based coaching, and ends with a period of free surfing, allowing guests to practise their newfound skills.
To fuel up between sessions, Anantara offers gourmet picnic baskets filled with delicious cheeses and charcuterie, which can be requested in advance. If you’re looking to explore beyond the surf, nearby Tanjung Balau Beach offers a vibrant local surf community and, during the northeast monsoon season from November to February, turns into a hotspot for surfers from across the region. 
Here, you’ll find uninterrupted rides on the beach’s sandy breaks. Dash Outdoors provides surf lessons from December to February, when the weather is perfect for surfing. For guests visiting outside of the surf season, the nearby Adventure Water Park Desaru Coast offers bodyboarding with one of the world’s largest wave pools and a surf wall.
On-site, the resort’s water sports centre also rents out equipment for sailing, stand-up paddleboarding, windsurfing, and kitesurfing. Group surfing sessions start at MYR 295+ per person, including car transfers and Malibu board rental. It’s the perfect way to make the most of your coastal getaway.
