Club Med South Africa Beach & Safari

Club Med South Africa Beach & Safari – A New Destination Where Beach Meets Safari

Set along the golden Dolphin Coast north of Durban, Club Med’s newest resort invites you to experience South Africa like never before — where surf, safari, and luxury meet under 300 days of sunshine each year.

Breathe in the salt air of the Indian Ocean. Hear the roar of distant wildlife. Feel the rhythm of Zulu culture. This is South Africa’s soul — with a touch of Club Med style.

🏝 Endless Horizon

You Are Here

Step into a landscape of dramatic coastlines, rolling green hills, and ocean views that stretch to infinity. Whether you’re chasing waves, sunsets, or serenity, this is your starting point.

🎶 South African Soul

Local Immersion

From local crafts and live music to Durban’s fiery flavors, every moment celebrates KwaZulu-Natal’s rich culture. Expect authenticity, not artifice.

🏄 First Surf School

Activities on the Dolphin Coast

Ride the waves at Club Med’s first-ever surf school. Perfect for all levels — from your child’s first lesson to your next adrenaline fix.

Other water adventures include kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding in warm Indian Ocean waters.

🦁 Exhilarating Safari Adventure

Awaken Your Senses

Track Africa’s legendary wildlife just hours from the beach. Smell the grasslands, listen to the distant calls, and witness the Big 5 up close — all in Club Med comfort.
