In this guide, we’ll cover 4 ways you can get to Lotus Desaru.

Overview

Before we dive into the transport options, please know that Lotus Desaru Beach Resort & Spa is located in Desaru, not in Desaru Coast.

This puts it out of the route usually taken by the free Desaru Coast shuttle bus.

Keeping this in mind ensures that you choose the right transport to avoid wasting time and energy.

 

1. Private Taxi From Singapore To Lotus Desaru Beach Resort

A private taxi from Singapore to Lotus Desaru Beach Resort is a direct transport, providing convenient, comfortable, and fuss-free travel.

Enjoy your journey in a MPV vehicle, which boasts plenty of legroom and space for all your luggage. It’s why it’s preferred by big groups or families with kids and seniors.

• Best Price: Starts from SGD 150 one way per car.
• Not Recommended For: Solo or pair travellers as it would be expensive.

2. Ferry From Singapore To Lotus Desaru Beach Resort

Next up is a ferry from Singapore to Lotus Desaru Beach Resort.

From Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal (TMFT) in Singapore, take a BatamFast ferry to Desaru Coast Ferry Terminal (preferred!) or Tanjung Pengelih Ferry Terminal (farther away).

• Best Price: A one-way ferry ticket to Desaru Coast Ferry Terminal costs SGD 70.
• Good For: 1-2 people who want to avoid the traffic jam at the Singapore-Malaysia border.
• Not Recommended For: Big groups (4 people or more) or families with kids and elderly folks as the total cost would be more than a private taxi!

 

While there’s a free shuttle bus at Desaru Coast Ferry Terminal, it does not go to Lotus Desaru.

Instead, you’ll need to charter your own transport to the resort. It’s usually only a 15-minute drive from Desaru Coast Ferry Terminal to Lotus Desaru.

Finally, you can consider self-driving from Singapore to Lotus Desaru Beach Resort if you have your own car. It should take about 2 hours, more or less, to get there.

Some people may prefer to self-drive because of the freedom it offers. You get to decide when and how you want to travel, and make any detours if needs be.

• Good For: Those who want more flexibility when travelling to Lotus Desaru.
• Not Recommended For: Those who don’t have a car as renting is quite pricey (at least SGD 70 a day).

 

Self-driving gives you the fantastic opportunity to explore Desaru and nearby towns since Grab cars are near impossible to get.

However, don’t think you can cross the border just like that. There are some requirements when it comes to self-driving to Malaysia:

• A valid driver’s license
• A Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP)
• Road, toll, and fuel charges
• ¾ petrol tank rule in Malaysia
• Pumping only RON 97 petrol in Malaysia
