An Ocean-Side Runway Experience at Desaru Coast

The Dioriviera collection, known for its vibrant palette of soft hues from pink to gray, and cream to blue, will transform the resort into a beach-side fashion hub. Apart from the collection’s eye-catching outfits, Dior’s enchanting motifs will be splashed across dining areas, sun loungers, cabanas, and pools, turning the resort into a scenic venue that breathes the spirit of Dior.

Adding to the experience is the Dior retail space nestled within a whimsical, larger-than-life sandcastle by the ocean. Fashion-forward guests can enjoy a breezy shopping spree under the Malaysian sun, with an array of fashion accessories like deck chairs, surfboards, table tennis rackets, and a set of boules bearing the signature Dior charm on offer.
