Club Med South Africa Beach & Safari

Nestled between the Indian Ocean and the African bush in the heart of the lesser-known KwaZulu-Natal province, just 45 minutes from Durban, stands the new Club Med Resort.

New Resort | Opening July 2026

With the Indian Ocean as your backdrop and the breath of the great outdoors calling, embark on a vibrant holiday filled with action and discovery. Start by taming the waves at our surf school, then speed through lush hills on a gravel bike, before diving into one of four pools for unforgettable family moments. And if the call of the wild beckons, encounter the legendary Big Five on a safari at Mpilo Safari Lodge. Set within an 18,000-hectare private reserve, this lodge offers total immersion in South African magic. Whether for couples or families, find the perfect balance of style and conviviality – the signature of an authentic Club Med experience.

*The Big Five: Lion, Leopard, Rhinoceros, Elephant, and African Buffalo.
