Enjoy the ease of an all-inclusive holiday with Club Med, where most things are already covered and the rest is there if you’d like to treat yourself.

While your all-inclusive stay at Club Med Cherating already covers meals, drinks, activities, and entertainment, you can always add a little something extra to make it feel even more special. Maybe that’s a relaxing spa treatment surrounded by the sounds of the jungle, a private sailing or tennis lesson, or treating yourself to a premium dining experience. It’s your holiday, so you get to decide how personal you’d like to make it.

Early Arrival Fee

If your flight or drive brings you to the resort earlier than check-in time, Club Med Cherating offers an early arrival option so you can slip straight into holiday mode. You’ll be able to settle in, enjoy lunch, or take part in the activities while waiting for your room to be ready. There’s a small fee for this service, but it’s waived if you booked a Club Med flight package or if you’re a Silver, Gold, or Platinum Great Members loyalty member. It’s a simple perk that helps you start making memories from the very first moment you arrive.

Self Drive

For those who enjoy a road trip, self-driving is a great option. The journey from Kuala Lumpur to Club Med Cherating takes roughly 3 to 3.5 hours via the East Coast Expressway (LPT), and from Singapore it’s about 6 to 7 hours depending on traffic. Along the way, you can stop for local delicacies or enjoy scenic views of the countryside.

By Coach

You can take a coach from Kuala Lumpur at Terminal Bersepadu Gombak to Stesen Bas Bandar Chukai (Kemaman). Once you arrive in Chukai, it’s about a 30-minute ride by taxi or private car to Club Med Cherating. Many travellers find this route smoother compared to going through Kuantan since it gets you closer to the resort.

Private Transfers

For travellers who prefer comfort and convenience, Travelution Holidays can arrange private transfers directly to Club Med Cherating. Whether you’re flying into Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Airport in Kuantan or starting your journey from Kuala Lumpur, a private transfer ensures a seamless ride straight to the resort without the hassle of waiting around.

From Kuala Lumpur, private transfers can be very cost-effective if you’re travelling as a group. The cost of a vehicle split among several people often works out better than flight tickets. For couples, or small families, flying into Kuantan and taking a short transfer to the resort is often the more practical and budget-friendly option. This way, you enjoy both speed and comfort while keeping costs under control.

At Club Med, the beauty of a holiday is that no two days ever have to look the same. One morning you could be gliding through a yoga class with the sound of the waves in the background, and by the afternoon, you’re trying something you never thought you would, like archery or sailing. The next day, maybe you decide to skip the activities altogether and spend hours by the pool with a book in hand, letting the staff bring you cocktails whenever you feel like it.

That’s the charm of an all-inclusive escape with Club Med. Everything is laid out for you. Sports, wellness, dining, shows, kids’ programs, yet nothing is compulsory. You get the freedom to pick and choose what feels right in the moment. Some guests like to plan out their days almost like a checklist of experiences, while others go with the flow, seeing where the mood takes them. Either way, you know that from sunrise to sunset, there’s always something waiting to make your day a little more special.

While Club Med Cherating has plenty to keep you busy, it’s also worth exploring the surrounding area. From nature experiences to cultural gems and food stops, here are a few highlights you won’t want to miss.

Cherating Turtle Sanctuary

Right next to the resort, the Cherating Turtle Sanctuary plays an important role in protecting endangered sea turtles. It serves as a hatchery where eggs are safeguarded until the baby turtles are ready to be released back into the ocean. Visitors can learn more about the conservation efforts, see turtles up close, and if you’re lucky, take part in a baby turtle release. A moving experience that’s especially magical for families with kids.

Cherating Fireflies River Cruise

As night falls, the Cherating River transforms into a glowing wonder. Thousands of fireflies light up the riverbanks, creating a scene that feels almost surreal. A river cruise here is calm and peaceful, the perfect way to end a day after the buzz of activities at the resort.

Cherating Mangrove River Cruise

By day, the same river offers a different kind of adventure. The mangroves are teeming with wildlife, from eagles soaring above to snakes resting on tree branches. Cruising through the calm waters, you’ll get a closer look at this unique ecosystem while soaking in the sights and sounds of nature.

ATV Adventure

If you’re craving something a little more adrenaline-packed, hop on an ATV and explore Cherating on four wheels. Guided tours will take you through mangrove trails, sandy tracks, and even stretches along the beach. Riding with the South China Sea as your backdrop makes the whole experience unforgettable.

Kemaman Museum

Located in Chukai, about 30 minutes from Cherating, the Kemaman Museum is housed in a colonial-era building from 1920. Inside, you’ll find exhibits on local history, ancient pottery, traditional weapons, and stories of notable figures from the Kemaman district. It’s a small but insightful stop for those curious about the area’s past.

Sungai Lembing Mines

About an hour’s drive from Cherating, the Sungai Lembing Mines are one of the largest tin mines in the world. The site has been transformed into a fascinating museum where you can venture underground into the old mining tunnels and see original equipment that was once used. It’s a great outing for history buffs and families alike.

Kuantan City

For a mix of shopping, local eats, and city vibes, head into Kuantan, the capital of Pahang. It’s an easy half-day trip from Cherating and gives you a chance to explore beyond the resort bubble. Popular stops include Teluk Cempedak Beach, lively markets, and local cafes.

Restoran Hoi Yin

If you’re in Kuantan, don’t miss a bowl of curry laksa at Restoran Hoi Yin, a local institution near Teluk Cempedak. Known for its rich broth, springy noodles, and generous toppings, it’s a simple yet satisfying meal that hits the spot after a morning of exploring.
