Dreaming of a tropical escape where rainforest adventures meet oceanfront luxury? Your next holiday might just be waiting in Sabah.
Club Med Borneo, one of Southeast Asia’s most anticipated resort openings, is officially opening reservations on 24 March 2026 for stays beginning November 2026. Located along the untouched coastline of Kuala Penyu, about 90 minutes from Kota Kinabalu, the all-inclusive resort promises a seamless blend of nature, culture, and effortless indulgence.
Set between lush rainforest and the turquoise waters of the South China Sea, the sprawling 17-hectare resort feels like a love letter to Borneo itself. Guests will first arrive at a striking timber pavilion inspired by the traditional Rumah Rungus longhouses, surrounded by waterfalls and dense greenery. By sunset, warm amber lighting mirrors the island’s legendary golden skies.
Inside, the resort offers 400 stylish rooms, including 39 Exclusive Collection Suites for travellers seeking a more private and elevated stay. For an even more refined experience, the Mutiara Exclusive Collection space offers a “resort within a resort” concept, complete with a private lounge, exclusive pool, and the intimate Bayu Bar.
Of course, this is Club Med, where activities are part of the magic. Guests can spend their days lounging by the infinity pool, exploring mangroves and wetlands, or diving into family fun at the splash park.
Culinary highlights include The Alam, a lively buffet with global flavours, and The Laut, an upscale dining destination designed for intimate evenings.
Beyond the resort, adventures await — from snorkelling at Pulau Tiga and wildlife river safaris spotting proboscis monkeys to cultural visits at the Mari-Mari Cultural Village.
Even better, sustainability is woven into every detail. Designed to meet BREEAM environmental standards, Club Med Borneo integrates eco-conscious architecture, biodiversity protection, and initiatives supporting local communities.
If Borneo has always been on your travel wish list, this might be the perfect excuse to go.
Reservations open 24 March 2026 — be among the first to secure your place at Club Med Borneo before doors officially open this November. For reservations, call +603-2053 1888 and enjoy the opening special with a complimentary upgrade to Deluxe rooms (subject to availability) for stays from 16 November 2026 to 3 January 2027.
