Opening November 2026
The recorded operating date is approaching. Confirm the date and cancellation terms directly; a published rate does not confirm that the resort will be open.
The rate diary
We sample a 7-night stay for two and keep a dated record of the room and stay period. These readings show how sampled prices change; they do not establish that an opening or reopening offer is the lowest available rate. Confirm the resort is operating for your dates before booking.
Club Med Borneo
Things to know
before you go
Club Med Borneo is a pre-opening resort scheduled to welcome first guests in November 2026, so post-stay guest review coverage is not yet sufficient for Gold Standard scoring.
The property is positioned as a large beachfront all-inclusive resort in Kuala Penyu, around two hours from Kota Kinabalu International Airport.
Because guest stays have not yet produced meaningful review volume, food, service, room, beach, and overall scores should remain unpublished until post-opening evidence is available.
Hidden tips
Treat all current guest-experience expectations as provisional until the resort has opened and review coverage is available.
The Exclusive Collection Space is the strongest evidence-backed choice for travelers who want the highest-service room experience.
Strengths from our research
Rare all-inclusive format in Malaysian Borneo
Beachfront Kuala Penyu setting
Strong family positioning with kids and teen clubs
Large new-build resort with Exclusive Collection space
Officially documented activities, dining, pools, and wellness facilities
Other considerations from our research
No meaningful post-stay review base yet
Long transfer from Kota Kinabalu International Airport
Guest consensus cannot be considered reliable until after opening
Beach, food, service, and value scores should remain provisional or omitted
From Reddit
Reddit coverage is pre-opening and not yet a stay-review source. The available discussion is mainly local/news reaction to the Club Med Borneo development rather than guest feedback from completed stays.

Our full take on Club Med Borneo
Borneo is bucket-list territory and Club Med is putting an all-inclusive right between the rainforest and the South China Sea. Orangutans, diving, and beaches, all in one trip. The eco-certification is real too, not greenwashing.
