Club Med Borneo Kota Kinabalu to open in Sabah late 2022, merging the best of Borneo’s greenery and beachfront vistas
HONG KONG, - 22 October 2019 - Club Med, the pioneer of Premium All-Inclusive holidays, announced plans to open its first resort near Kota Kinabalu, the capital of Malaysia's Sabah state, in the northern part of Borneo island late 2022.
Located at Kuala Penyu Beach -- just 90-minutes' drive from Kota Kinabalu International Airport -- the premium all-inclusive Club Med resort with a Club Med Exclusive Collection space (5 Tridents Space) will offer a pristine paradise where virgin jungle meets idyllic powdery white sand beaches and crystal clear waters. Club Med is collaborating closely 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. This resort is Club Med's second resort in Malaysia, after Club Med Cherating Beach, an eco-nature getaway located in Pahang.
"The Club Med spirit has always been to create new resorts that seamlessly blend into naturally beautiful locations and become discoverable bucket list destinations in their own right," said Henri Giscard d'Estaing, President of Club Med. "Opening in Kuala Penyu allows us to showcase Sabah's beautiful surroundings in a relatively undiscovered part of the world. This will be our second resort in Malaysia in a destination that is seeing increased airlift and interest from travellers across globe including China, Korea, Southeast Asia and Australia."
GSBRC, the owning company of the future resort, is a Sabah based company which was formed by like-minded investors purposely to bring Club Med to Borneo. The group behind GSBRC has extensive business experience in Malaysia and abroad with specific focus on Hospitality and Property Developments in Sabah & Kuala Lumpur.
