The Resort Centre will also have shopping; a restaurant; an all-day dining court; a bar with a wine corner; and a pool.

For those wanting a more bespoke experience, Club Med is also working on creating a luxury lodge at a Big 5 game reserve, about a 3.5-hour drive or 40-minute flight from the resort. The 80-room lodge will be developed to Club Med standards in order to offer guests a dual beach and safari experience during their stay.
