Feed your mind, body, and soul

One&Only Desaru Coast is as much a world-class wellness retreat as it is a dining destination, and as a key tenet of wellbeing, nutrition forms a critical element of the Chenot Spa offering. Chenot Spa believes that a diet adapted to your lifestyle gives energy, concentration and even resistance to various diseases and improves physical and mental performance. Thus, if you're looking to make healthy eating a lifestyle, the Chenot Bio-light Diet, available at Ambara restaurant, promotes meals with better nutritional habits.

The Bio-light Diet is based on Chenot’s cooking principles which involve selecting, preparing and processing a wide variety of ingredients in order to produce healthy, nutritious, well-balanced and tasty meals. Savour meals made from the freshest ingredients, with anti-inflammatory and alkaline properties which protect cells and structural proteins from the damage of oxidative stress and an acidic environment. The dishes are prepared in low temperatures using moist cooking and acidic marinades to maintain the integrity of the ingredients and protect them from glycotoxins and other harmful compound formations that occur during normal cooking.
