An all-new Club Med Exclusive Collection resort will open on the popular holiday island of Koh Samui in 2028, introducing the elevated brand to Thailand and complementing Club Med’s existing Phuket property.

Club Med Exclusive Collection Koh Samui is the latest and third addition to the Exclusive Collection portfolio and its second all-inclusive offering in Thailand, alongside the fully renovated Club Med Phuket.

Exclusive Collection resorts elevate the signature Club Med experience with more spacious accommodation, enhanced room amenities, dedicated concierge service and premium inclusions, such as French Champagne served daily.

Club Med has 21 Exclusive Collection properties worldwide, including six dedicated resorts, nine Exclusive Collection Spaces and five Villas and Chalets, making up 13 per cent of its global capacity.

Club Med Pacific & New ESAP Markets General Manager Michelle Davies said Club Med Exclusive Collection Koh Samui and Club Med Phuket will offer two distinct expressions of the brand in Thailand, catering to different traveller preferences.

Club Med Exclusive Collection Koh Samui introduces a refined take on a beachfront escape, while Club Med Phuket delivers a family-friendly atmosphere and is home to the brand’s first Family Oasis in Asia.

It comes as Club Med reports particularly strong demand for Thailand with a 41 per cent increase in forward sales for 2026 at Club Med Phuket.
