Club Med Cherating will undergo a comprehensive renovation from October 11, 2026, ushering in a new chapter for the group’s first resort in Asia.
The refurbishment will reposition the property as an all-inclusive resort centred on its 80ha jungle setting and beachfront location. Club Med said the redesign will preserve the site’s natural environment while introducing upgraded accommodation, public spaces and guest facilities.
Opened as Club Med’s first resort in Asia, Cherating remains the only property in the region with a self-contained jungle within the resort grounds.
The refreshed resort will introduce five new signature experiences, including the Jungle Express transport service through the jungle, guided nature trails, a cliffside climbing experience, farm-to-table dining at Rembulan gourmet club, and a firefly mangrove cruise.
The renovation will also follow the group’s Happy to Care sustainability programme, with plans to retain the existing low-density footprint and protect local biodiversity.
Ahead of the closure, Club Med will host a series of farewell activities from mid-August, including a weekly street market, sports challenges, a resort memory wall and charity auctions featuring memorabilia from the property. The final auction will take place on October 8, with proceeds going to charity.
Rachael Harding, CEO, Southeast Asia and Pacific, Club Med, said: “Club Med Cherating holds a special place in our history as our first home in Asia. This transformation will open a new chapter for this iconic destination, creating a more sophisticated yet deeply natural escape where guests can leave daily life behind and reconnect with the world around them.”
