It’s a new destination and a new kind of resort for Club Med, which will be hunting for big-spending tourist game in South Africa. In 2026, it will open its first resort there—plus an accompanying luxury Game Lodge that offers a Club Med-branded luxury safari experience. And in another new tack, there’s even the very first Club Med Surf Club.

The beachside Club Med Tinley will be in Tinley Manor, an area known for its Bottlenose dolphins, on the Dolphin Coast of KwaZulu-Natal. It’s a lesser-known province for tourists, known for its warm climate and stunning white-sand beaches. The surf-lifestyle themed property will include 342 rooms, 64 suites, and a convention center.

Guests also will have the opportunity to go on a Big Game safari in Northern Natal, based in the new 80-room luxury lodge Club Med is building, a 3.5-hour drive or 40-minute flight away.

Club Med Tinley will feature design, entertainment and food and beverages inspired by the location, climate, and cultures of Southern Africa, in both Premium rooms and Exclusive Collection accommodations.

Like all properties in the chain, it will offer family activities, land and water sports, and a kid’s club with tailored facilities and certified staff, as well as the Surf School at Club Med. Wellness enthusiasts will find an “indulgent spa,” fitness center, yoga school, and adult-only Zen pool and bar.

Club Med Tinley is a collaborative partnership between Club Med and the Collins Residential Consortium. Its sustainability efforts include a “Bye Bye Plastic Program,”  Green Globe sustainable tourism certification and eco-certified construction, and a partnership with Agrisud, a not-for-profit group designed to incorporate products from local businesses in its supply chain.
