Club Med, renowned for its premium all-inclusive holidays, has announced a partnership with Central Group Capital to launch a new Exclusive Collection Resort in Koh Samui, Thailand.

The 303-room resort will feature a private beach over 200 meters long, offering guests a range of sports and activities. The development will include expanded room capacity, upgraded guest rooms and public spaces, and new dining concepts. Signature Club Med programmes such as the Kids Club and Amazing! Family will provide tailored experiences for families.

Stéphane Maquaire, President and CEO of Club Med, expressed excitement about the expansion, stating, “This exceptional property situated on an exclusive beach along the coast of Koh Samui marks an exciting expansion in our portfolio.” Rachael Harding, CEO of ESAP at Club Med, added that the development reinforces their commitment to upscale holiday experiences.
