Experience world-class resort amenities paired with an exclusive private safari adventure. Opening soon in July 2026!
Ready for an unforgettable family holiday? Club Med is bringing its first all-inclusive resort to South Africa with the launch of Club Med South Africa Beach & Safari. Opening in July 2026 in the stunning Dolphin Coast of KwaZulu-Natal, you’ll enjoy the rare chance to combine a luxury beach escape with thrilling Big Five safari adventures.
What’s in Club Med South Africa Resort
Just 30 minutes from King Shaka International Airport, a whole world of fun and relaxation awaits your family at Club Med South Africa Beach & Safari Resort. With 411 rooms and suites—including the Exclusive Collection Ilanga section—there’s a cozy spot for everyone to settle in after a day of adventure.
The pools alone are a playground of four choices: dive into the buzzing main pool, make a splash together at the family pool, slip away to the peaceful adults-only Zen pool, or enjoy the extra sparkle of the Exclusive Collection pool.
Hungry after all that excitement? Dining options will include Oceana, an all-day restaurant showcasing international cuisine, while the Nguni Gourmet Club puts South African seafood and regional delights on the table for a taste of something new. And when it’s time for a little treat, grab a hot chocolate or coffee at the Injabulo Bar or sip something refreshing by the waves while enjoying the energy of the local surf culture at the Dunes Beach Bar.
Beyond dining, the resort will uphold Club Med’s signature festive spirit with evening entertainment inspired by South African culture and occasional beachside garden parties overlooking the ocean. As the sun sets, the magic keeps going. From lively cultural shows to garden parties under the stars, evenings sparkle with music, laughter, and memories made together.
A Safari Like No Other
For the first time in Club Med’s history, you can pair your resort stay with a private safari adventure at Mpilo Safari Lodge, offering premium tented accommodation with panoramic views and a full range of amenities, exclusive for Club Med guests.
You’ll also be able to enjoy specially adapted drives designed for younger children, while evenings will feature traditional Boma gatherings with barbecues and storytelling around the fire, bringing the authentic magic of the African savannah to life.
Family-Friendly & Wellness-Focused
At Club Med South Africa Beach & Safari Resort, adventure and relaxation go hand in hand. The Dolphin Coast will host Club Med’s very first Surf School, where children and adults can ride the waves under the guidance of professional instructors—right in one of South Africa’s most beautiful stretches of ocean.
Don’t forget to also enjoy a guided gravel biking tour through sugarcane fields and coastal trails, or try something new like coastal trails, yoga and fitness classes, flying trapeze, padel and tennis, and water sports including kayaking and paddle boarding.
When it’s time to slow down, a full wellness centre is ready with spa treatments, hammam rituals, and yoga sessions in breezy palapas, while the resort’s lush gardens and Zen spaces will offer opportunities for relaxation and rejuvenation.
Families are truly at the heart of the experience. With Baby Club Med for the littlest ones (from 4 months), Mini Club Med+ packed with adventures for kids, and the Chill Pass designed just for teens, every generation gets a program tailored to inspire play, discovery, and connection.
