Why Choose Club Med Cherating?
True All-Inclusive Value
The biggest reason travelers choose Club Med over standard beach resorts is the Premium All-Inclusive concept. Instead of worrying about accumulating a massive bill for food, drinks, and activities by the end of your stay, everything is paid for upfront. Once you arrive at the resort, you can completely put your wallet away.
- Unlimited Dining & Snacks: Enjoy full access to multi-cuisine buffet spreads at The Mutiara, specialized à la carte dining, late-breakfast options, and continuous grab-and-go treats throughout the day.
- Free-Flow Open Bar: From 9:00 AM to midnight, guests can enjoy unlimited house pours, beers, wines, sodas, juices, and premium handcrafted cocktails at any of the resort’s bars.
- All Sports & Daily Coaching: Access to the natural cliffside rock climbing routes, sailing catamarans, windsurfing, archery ranges, and the iconic flying trapeze, complete with professional equipment and guided group lessons—costs absolutely nothing extra.
- Nightly G.O Shows & Parties: Every single night features a brand-new entertainment lineup, ranging from high-flying circus performances and traditional cultural shows to lively themed beach parties.
- Age-Specific Kids Clubs: Full-day child supervision, specialized meals, and tailored outdoor activities for children aged 4 to 17 are entirely included in your package.
Travelution All-Inclusive Insight:
“When clients compare Club Med to a regular 5-star hotel, they often forget to calculate the hidden costs of holidaying. In a standard resort, paying separately for three buffet meals a day, a few poolside cocktails, and afternoon activities for the kids can easily double your bill by check-out. With Club Med’s all-inclusive model, you know exactly what your holiday costs before you even step onto the plane or into your car.”
A Paradise for Families
Designed specifically to give parents a “holiday from their holiday,” the resort offers world-class childcare and bonding opportunities:
- Age-Specific Kids’ Clubs: Dedicated clubs for children (from 4 months to 17 years) where they can learn new skills and make international friends under expert supervision.
- Amazing Family! Program: A curated itinerary of activities, like giant board games and nature treasure hunts, designed for parents and children to play together.
- Zen Zone: While the kids are at the club, adults can escape to the adults-only Zen Pool, a quiet sanctuary overlooking the ocean with its own private bar.
Easy Access
One of the primary reasons for Cherating’s popularity is the seamless transit from major Southeast Asian hubs.
- By Air: A quick 45-minute flight from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) to Kuantan (KUA), followed by a 45-minute resort transfer.
- By Road: For those driving from the Klang Valley, the East Coast Expressway (LPT) provides a smooth, scenic 3-hour journey directly to the resort gates.

Travelution Specialist Insight:
“The split between ‘Teens’ and ‘Chill Pass’ is a brilliant move. It respects that a 17-year-old and an 11-year-old have very different ideas of fun. While the 11-13s love the high-energy games, the 14-17s really value the Chill Pass’s exclusive lounge areas where they can just ‘be’ without feeling like they are in a structured kids’ club.”
Amazing Family!
The Club Med Amazing Family! program at Cherating Beach is an award-winning initiative designed to bring parents and children together through a weekly agenda of shared activities. Included in your premium all-inclusive package, the program encourages families to “ditch the screens” and reconnect through five distinct pillars of play.
The Five Pillars of Amazing Family
- Time to Move: Energizing group games such as Soccer Bumper, Kite Competitions, and family Olympic Games.
- Time to Play: Large-scale collaborative fun featuring life-sized versions of classics like Giant Jenga, Twister, Molkky, and Connect 5.
- Time to Care: Meaningful nature-based activities including Family Yoga, Kite Crafting, and learning about local environmental conservation.
- Time to Quest: Interactive digital treasure hunts using the Club Med Play app to discover the resort’s 80-hectare jungle heritage.
- Time to Celebrate: Joyful communal moments such as Colour Parties, Bubble Parties, and the beloved Family “Big Snack” time.
Why It’s Unique
Unlike traditional kids’ clubs where children play separately, the Amazing Family program is specifically curated for intergenerational bonding. It provides a dedicated space where grandparents, parents, and children can share the same experiences, ensuring that more than just memories are brought home, but a deeper connection to each other.
Travelution Specialist Insight:
“Amazing Family is the perfect antidote to ‘parallel vacationing.’ Instead of just meeting for dinner, you’re building a giant Jenga tower together or competing in a kite race. It transforms the resort from a place where your kids are cared for into a playground where you actually play together.”

Club Med Cherating Frequently Asked Questions
Planning an all-inclusive getaway often comes with specific logistical questions. To help you prepare for your stay at Malaysia’s premier eco-nature resort, we’ve compiled the most common inquiries from our guests. From dining dietary requirements to packing essentials, here is everything you need to know before you arrive.
Is the food at Club Med Cherating Halal?
All meat and ingredients used in the resort’s kitchens are Halal-sourced from certified suppliers, and no pork is served in the main buffet areas.
While the food is prepared following Halal standards, the restaurants do not carry an official Halal Certification from JAKIM. This is because alcohol (beer and wine) is served within the same dining premises as part of the all-inclusive package.
If you have concerns, the Head Chef or Restaurant Manager at The Mutiara is available to walk you through the buffet and point out specific dishes or preparation methods to ensure they meet your comfort level.
Is Club Med Cherating Closing in 2026?
Yes, Club Med Cherating will officially close its doors on 11 October 2026. The resort is entering a period of major planned renovation to upgrade its facilities, rooms, and guest experiences. This “rebirth” is part of Club Med’s global commitment to elevating their resorts.
What You Need to Know:
- Last Day to Stay: 10 October 2026.
- Reason for Closure: Total resort refurbishment and modernization.
- Reopening Date: While an official date has not yet been set, major renovations of this scale typically last between 12 to 18 months.
What exactly is included in the "Open Bar"?
The package includes free-flow juices, soft drinks, specialty mocktails, and a wide selection of alcoholic beverages (beers, wines, and signature cocktails like the Cherating Night). Premium spirits and champagne are available at an extra cost.
Is there a dress code?
Does Club Med Cherating have EV charging stations?
Currently, there are no EV charging stations located within the resort grounds. The nearest public EV charging station is located approximately 10 minutes away.
Travelution Tip:
For peace of mind, we suggest using apps like PlugShare or Setel to check the real-time availability of chargers in the Cherating/Kuantan area before you begin your journey back to the Klang Valley or Singapore.
Is there a medical clinic on-site?
How is the Wi-Fi and mobile signal at Club Med Cherating?
Complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the resort’s main buildings and guest rooms. While mobile coverage is generally reliable, the resort’s deep jungle location means that signal strength can be patchy in certain areas, particularly at the Pantai (Zen) Beach or along the Jungle Nature Trails.
We like to think of the occasional spotty signal as the perfect excuse to unplug! Whether you’re at the adults-only Zen Pool or deep in the rainforest, it’s a great opportunity to swap your screen for the stunning views of the South China Sea.
Travelution Tip: If you must attend a video call, the signal is strongest in the Main Lobby (Reception) or the Orchid Bar.
