High performance skincare from renowned brand Augustinus Bader arrives at One&Only Desaru Coast, the ultra-luxury retreat on Malaysia’s secluded south-eastern coastline. Opening in April 2024, the rejuvenated One&Only Spa will be the first resort spa in Malaysia and Southeast Asia to offer transformative treatments in partnership with the celebrity-approved brand.
Steeped in the ancient beauty of Malaysia’s southeastern flora, One&Only Desaru Coast is a sanctuary of holistic wellbeing, and home to a selection of wellness journeys designed to nurture body, mind and soul. In addition to the new One&Only Spa, the tranquil hideaway is a restorative destination of its own with guided beachfront yoga, bespoke fitness classes, nutritious field-grown dining and captivating seaside golfing.
Professor Augustinus Bader, co-creator of his eponymous brand, is globally recognised as one of the foremost experts in the field of regenerative medicine and bears an illustrious career spanning three decades. He currently serves as Director and Professor for Applied Stem Cell Biology & Cell Technology at the University of Leipzig in Germany. Since its launch in 2018, the billion-dollar brand has garnered prestigious accolades and endorsements by Hollywood celebrities and distinguished industry publications, with an international following of eager customers.
Powered by the breakthrough TFC8® (Trigger Factor Complex 8) technology, Augustinus Bader’s formulations for face and body comprise over 40 amino acids, high-grade vitamins and peptides that are found naturally in the skin. The potent combination creates an optimal environment for the skin’s innate intelligence to take over, triggering regeneration on a cellular level. The tried-and-tested results are radiant, smooth and healthy skin from the inside that is sustainable and for the long term.
Beauty connoisseurs can look forward to a selection of reinvigorating facial and body treatments, created in collaboration with Augustinus Bader, and available only at the resort’s One&Only Spa. These rituals will leverage on Augustinus Bader’s award-winning hero formulas, pairing them with the brand’s customized fascia and lymphatic flow techniques, to activate cellular rejuvenation and natural repair cycles. An extensive range of fan-favourite products for face, body and hair from the coveted brand can also be purchased.
A unique collection of One&Only treatments inspired by Malaysia’s multicultural heritage will also be available, in celebration of the country’s time-honoured traditions. From cupping therapy to Ayurvedic medicine and rhythmic massages, the gentle wisdoms of the Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous communities of Malaysia will be brought to life through these revitalising treatments. Bespoke massage oils, crafted with Malaysia’s natural herbs and spices, will be used to complement the experience. These include an all-new signature oil of blue lotus, geranium and frankincense, and a stress-relieving option infused with bergamot, mandarin and nutmeg. Expectant mothers can look forward to pre-natal pampering, while the little ones unwind with relaxing kids’ massages. Decadent manicures and pedicures from the revered PEDI:MANI:CURE Studio by Bastien Gonzalez, as well as organic hair and scalp services, will be available for a thoroughly restorative experience.
Zoe Wall, Vice President of SIRO and Wellness, Kerzner International, commented, “The rejuvenated One&Only Spa at Desaru Coast is a showcase of One&Only’s exceptional global wellness philosophy – to partner with the finest, world-leading experts in pioneering skincare and wellness, in this case the groundbreaking efficacies of Augustinus Bader, and to pair this with the authentic essence of the destination.”

world-class expertise of Augustinus Bader, heightening the holistic wellness experience available at our resort.”
Guests can now book the resort’s new Wellness Retreat offer, inclusive of one 55 minute One&Only or Augustinus Bader spa treatment a day, and one private 60-minute Silat session, this fascinating local martial art, is one of the resort’s signature guest experiences, where the combative practice of self-defense takes its cue from native flora and fauna.
