As a part of your romantic getaway,
book for his and hers relaxing sessions at

treatments inspired by ancient Asian
healing rituals. The 297-roomed resort also

Malay stilted bungalows made from local
timber and surrounded by preserved
natural forest and lush gardens.
You can’t get any more romantic than
this!
Nature Calls
There are eco-discovery trails and nature
activities for the whole family. Take a brisk
walk through the rainforest leading to
viewing platforms along the coast where
you can experience picture-perfect scenery
that’s hard to come across elsewhere. If
getting rugged is more your style, you
will likely find that rock climbing would
be right up your alley.
Aside from eco trails, Club Med
Cherating is also designed to cater to the
needs of sports enthusiasts. Facilities for
various racquet games (tennis, squash,
badminton) and ball games (basketball,
beach volleyball, football, table tennis)
are available in the sprawling premises.
A special feature is the presence of
Academies. There are three – Archery,
Flying Trapeze and Sailing, and all these
academies contain the best equipment
and facilities for almost every age group
and skill level. Safety always comes first at
the ClubMed Cherating Beach Resort – all
equipment and procedures comply with
international safety standards.
Every single step in running the resort
has been carefully designed to conform
to its “green standard”. This includes
working with the local turtle sanctuary
to help educate the public about turtles
and the need to protect and preserve
this endangered species. Visitors can
learn more about the ways to ensure the
survival of turtles that come each year to
Malaysia’s east coast to lay eggs. At the end
of your visit, reward yourself with a polo
T-shirt with the Turtle Sanctuary logo for
