The Chamber
FSACCI Visits Club Med Tinley Beach Resort Ahead of July 2026 Opening
The French South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FSACCI) recently had the opportunity to visit the Club Med South Africa Beach & Safari Resort site on the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast, ahead of its official opening in July 2026.
This landmark development marks the first all-inclusive Club Med resort in South Africa.
Located along the Dolphin Coast near Tinley Manor, the resort introduces a unique dual experience, combining a beachfront resort with an inland safari lodge set within a private reserve. The project reflects a thoughtful integration of local culture and design, brought to life through collaboration between South African and French teams.
As construction progresses toward completion, the site will be closed to visitors from tomorrow.
FSACCI extends its sincere thanks to all partners involved in hosting the visit, including Chris du Toit, Lorraine Clement, Melanie Clarkson, Jean-Philippe Avenel, Christine Serre, and Samuel Ducroquet, Consul General of France in Johannesburg, for their presence and continued support of France–South Africa relations.
