The all-inclusive Club Med South Africa Beach & Safari will be situated north of Durban on the Dolphin Coast in the province of KwaZulu-Natal. It will be the country’s first high-end, all-inclusive holiday club.
Guests can enjoy a holiday in unspoilt natural surroundings on the shores of the Indian Ocean, along with an immersive safari adventure based at Mpilo Safari Lodge.
The lodge is situated on a private 18,000-hectare game reserve that is home to the Big Five: lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants and Cape buffalo.
The new Club Med South Africa Beach & Safari will accommodate guests in 411 lodgings spread over several buildings, whose contemporary architecture features locally sourced stone and light wood, clean lines and large picture windows.
Designed to blend in respectfully with their natural setting, the buildings create a smooth continuity between indoor and outdoor areas, harnessing natural light, highlighting the local flora and offering abundant views of the surroundings.
Guests will have two restaurants to discover at the Resort: the Oceana, for dishes inspired by world cuisine, and the Nguni Gourmet Club for a refined dining experience
“Ever since it was founded in 1950, Club Med has always been a pioneer in exploring and establishing resorts in extraordinary places,” said Henri Giscard d’Estaing, President of Club Med.
“Our new project seeks to create value for the local communities and enhance the international appeal of the magnificent province of KwaZulu-Natal.”
The resort is a 30 minute transfer from King Shaka International Airport (Durban) and less than an hour from Durban. Bookings will open in October.
