Club Med


Crafted to look like a particularly beautiful Malaysian kampung with wooden buildings on stilts, this resort comes fully equipped with its own stretch of beach, lawns, international restaurants, nightclub, kids club, nearby turtle sanctuary and sports facilities. It's about 2km north of town. Note you will be stopped at the gate and refused entry unless you're a guest.
