The planning phase for South Africa’s first Club Med resort is almost complete, with construction set to begin early next year.

Developed by Collins Residential, Club Med Tinley will consist of a coastal resort and inland game lodge, which together include over 480 rooms.

The landmark project promises a wider focus on the North Coast as a site for international tourism on the strength of the French hospitality chain’s global reputation and reach.

To ensure consistency with the Club Med brand identity, a final meeting between representatives from the company and Collins Residential was recently held at the resort site.

It is now all systems go for the project, which Collins Residential says will source local labour and follow sustainable practices throughout the construction.

“Our focus extends to green accreditation and star ratings in line with recognised standards,” said Collins Residential development manager, Trenley Tilbrook.

“This also includes energy efficiency, where strategies for backup power, reduction of energy demands, and a diversified generator strategy will be implemented for optimal performance.”

“Water management is a key focus too, incorporating environmental authorisation compliance with the reintroduction of treated water into wetlands, as well as effective waste management in environmentally sensitive areas like dunes and estuarine biomes.”

Club Med Tinley is expected to be completed in 2026.
