In a real meeting of minds, One & Only Desaru Coast has announced its partnership with renowned beauty brand Augustinus Bader. The luxury Malaysian resort celebrated this launch on May 25 with guests and media, including Tatler Singapore, as it also unveiled the refreshed One & Only Spa. This exclusive partnership makes One & Only Spa the first—and only—resort spa in Asia to offer facial and body treatments in collaboration with the cult beauty brand.
Beauty and wellness enthusiasts can look forward to a selection of rejuvenating treatments that are available only at the resort’s One & Only Spa. These rituals will include 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. Currently, the spa will offer four treatments: Augustinus Bader Facial, Augustinus Bader Superior Deluxe Facial, Augustinus Bader Eye Ritual and Augustinus Bader Body Ritual.

Since its launch in 2018, the billion-dollar brand has won praise and gained accolades from all over the world, and is no stranger to teaming up with famous names including Victoria Beckham, Haider Ackermann, and most recently with Hollywood director Sofia Coppola on a collection of three new shades of The Tinted Balm.
Augustinus Bader’s award-winning formulations for the face and body comprise over 40 amino acids, high-grade vitamins and peptides that are found naturally in the skin. These formulations are powered by what the brand is most known for: the breakthrough TFC8 (Trigger Factor Complex 8) technology, a proprietary technology that works by supporting the human body’s innate capacity to renew, delivering unprecedented results.

The availability of both contemporary spa treatments and traditional wellness experiences at such a tranquil hideaway truly elevates the One & Only Spa in Desaru Coast, allowing it to stand out within the region.
