According to BERNAMA News Agency, the event is presented by Desaru Coast, an award-winning destination resort known for its five-star accommodations. These resorts are conveniently located within walking distance of the festival village, grounds, and stages. Ombak Festival embodies vibrant outdoor living, characterized by Malaysian flair, natural charm, and an inclusive vibe that appeals to a diverse audience.
