Experience a luxurious eco-friendly holiday in an eco-retreat
In the heart of the jungle, Club Med Cherating Beach standing on wooden stilts is a journey into the wild. This eco-retreat offers 3 different beaches and access to 85 hectares (210 acres) of lush surroundings, making it the perfect Malaysian jungle-meets-coast escape.
Good to know for our eco-lovers, Club Med Cherating Beach is Platinum Green Globe Certified - boasting over 10 years of ongoing care. Needless to say, we are very proud!
Enjoy simple comfort in this wooden eco-resort, where you can spot **monkeys straight from your window! **
The stunning resort keeps its promise to preserve the area’s natural beauty and biodiversity. The built-up surface only covers 7% of the total site surface, leaving 60 hectares of primary tropical rainforest preserved which is home to macaque monkeys and many more tropical species.
Inside the eco-retreat, we’ve taken serious eco-minded initiatives: no single-use plastics, onsite compost, natural wastewater treatment & recycling, and food waste monitoring.
