Taking a BatamFast ferry to Desaru from Singapore is a pretty straightforward way to get to the resort town.

It’s about a 90-minute ride from Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal to Desaru Coast Ferry Terminal. Upon arrival, you can board a free shuttle bus to any of the following places:

• Anantara Desaru Resort
• Westin Desaru Resort
• Hard Rock Hotel Desaru
• ELS Club Desaru Coast – Ocean Course
• ELS Club Desaru Coast – Valley Course
• Desaru Coast Ferry Terminal

 

However, I’d only suggest taking the ferry if there are only 1-2 of you. If you’re travelling in a group or with family, it will be more cost effective to take a private taxi.
