Club Med Kota Kinabalu

Club Med has unveiled plans to open its first resort near Kota Kinabalu, the capital of Malaysia's Sabah state, in the northern part of Borneo island, in late 2022.

The all-inclusive Club Med resort, with a Club Med Exclusive Collection space (5 Tridents Space), will be located at Kuala Penyu Beach, just 90 minutes' drive from Kota Kinabalu International Airport.

Club Med is collaborating with owners Golden Sands Beach Resort City Sdn Bhd (GSBR) to create the brand's first large-scale sustainably-built BREEAM-certified beach resort in Asia Pacific.

The property will be Club Med's second resort in Malaysia, after Club Med Cherating Beach, an eco-nature getaway located in Pahang.

The resort will feature 360 rooms and 40 suites. Guests will be able to enjoy an all-day buffet restaurant serving international cuisine as well as an a la carte specialty restaurant that is included in Club Med's all-inclusive offer. A free-flow bar with integrated entertainment space showcasing Club Med's signature circus and musical shows as well as a pool bar dedicated to the Exclusive Collection Space will also be available, as well as a Children's Club for kids from 4 months to 17 years of age.

A full range of Club Med facilities, including up to 30 types of land and water sports activities, and excursions to discover Kota Kinabalu and Sabah, will help to keep guests entertained.
