Prepare to experience a new kind of vacation as Club Med, a global luxury resort pioneer known for all-inclusive stays, announces a historic partnership with Central Group Capital to launch a major project.“Club Med Exclusive Collection Koh Samui”(Club Med Exclusive Collection Koh Samui)
This marks Thailand’s first Top Tier (Exclusive Collection) resort and Club Med’s second resort in Thailand, following Phuket which opened 40 years ago. It is expected to debut in the second half of 2028 (CE 2571).
Tapping into the Set-jetting and New Luxury trends on Koh Samui
This investment comes at a golden moment for Thai tourism, especially Koh Samui, which is attracting global attention due to the rising trend of“Set-jetting”or following filming locations of world-famous series such as The White Lotus Season 3.
Club Med thus presents a vision of“New Luxury”which redefines luxury beyond the traditional quiet private villas, focusing instead on quality of life, freedom in time use, and seamless experiences through an“all-inclusive”model covering accommodation, fine dining, premium drinks, sports activities, children’s programs, and evening entertainment with no hidden fees.
The collaboration with Central Group Capital reflects strong confidence in the long-term potential of premium tourism in Thailand.
Sarawit Chairat, Managing Director and Co-CEO of Central Group Capital, stated, “Our team meticulously designed the resort to highlight Koh Samui’s private beach and rich natural beauty and is ready to work with Club Med to welcome travelers from around the world.”
This project not only attracts international visitors but also offers an all-inclusive model that suits Thai couples and families seeking precise travel budgeting. Additionally, it will inject substantial revenue into the local economy through direct employment and income distribution throughout Koh Samui’s supply chain.
The Club Med Koh Samui project is located on the island’s northern coast, just 25 minutes from Samui Airport, featuring over 200 meters of private beach and a full range of water activities.
It will offer 303 contemporary-style rooms blending Thai cultural heritage and island nature, complete with age-specific Kids Clubs and an Amazing! Family program for shared family activities. The resort is slated to open in the second half of 2028 (CE 2571).
The arrival of Club Med Exclusive Collection Koh Samui is a key piece that will elevate Koh Samui and Thailand as premier luxury vacation destinations, truly meeting the lifestyle needs of modern travelers.
