ParisSelect – Club Med dévoile deux nouvelles destinations en Afrique du Sud et à Bornéo pour 2026
In 2026, Club Med is accelerating its premium transformation with two major openings. Between South Africa and Borneo, the iconic all-inclusive brand is no longer content to simply make people travel: it wants to make a lasting impression.
Two spectacular new destinations for 2026
The all-inclusive travel giant is taking a spectacular turn this year. New resorts have been opened in two territories still relatively unexplored by mass tourism: South Africa and Malaysia. These openings testify to a strategy focused on unspoilt locations and authentic experiences.
First, we head for the South African coast with the future Club Med South Africa Beach & Safari. This hybrid resort combines beach and adventure in a unique setting. It promises a complete change of scenery for thrill-seeking travellers.
A beach and safari resort in South Africa
The South African site features an adults-only Zen pool and a surf school. What’s more, travelers enjoy access to an 18,000-hectare private reserve. This combination ticks all the boxes for ultra-exciting travel.
The hybrid experience is already attracting nature and relaxation enthusiasts. As a result, this destination should quickly become one of the most popular of the year.
“The kind of destination that ticks all the travel trends: slow tourism, authenticity and discreet luxury.”
Borneo: immersion between jungle and sea
Another atmosphere, another setting: Club Med also sets up in Borneo. This resort is set between lush jungle and turquoise sea. Travelers can enjoy handicraft workshops and a unique cultural immersion.
Exclusive suites integrated into nature complete the offer. This destination perfectly embodies the new expectations of travelers: slow tourism, authenticity and discreet luxury. In short, Borneo becomes a must-see address for 2026.

Experiences for every profile
These two new products illustrate Club Med’s move upmarket. Families, couples and groups of friends will all find suitable packages. Each resort now offers zones and activities segmented according to desires.
The offer is also enriched in terms of sport and well-being. Travelers can alternate between relaxation and adventure within the same stay.
Sport, luxury and novelties in existing resorts
In addition to new openings, the brand is beefing up its existing offering. Padel, the star sport of the moment, has become a mainstay. Courts, coaches and even an international tournament are now available in several countries.
As for hotels, several iconic sites are reinventing themselves. Cancún is banking on an ultra-immersive family oasis. Italy’s Pragelato, meanwhile, is playing the alpine chic lifestyle card.
Martinique is developing a 100% adults-only zone designed for couples and groups of friends. This segmentation meets the varied expectations of modern travelers. As a result, there’s a formula to suit every profile.
Resorts now dog-friendly
Finally, the detail that changes everything: some resorts are now dog-friendly. They offer a dedicated welcome and pet-friendly experiences. This evolution perfectly reflects the new expectations of travelers.
Travelling with your four-legged friend is now possible in several Club Med destinations. It’s a novelty that appeals to pet owners who don’t want to leave their dogs at home. From now on, family vacations also include faithful companions.
