Club Med ropes in ‘rockstar chef’ to open new South African resort | SA News

Barq Guessoum, a top chef and famous resort manager in the Club Med group, is heading up the high profile and demanding role as new ‘Chef de Village’ of the first Club Med beach resort in South Africa, which officially opens on Saturday, 4 July, on KwaZulu-Natal’s North Coast.

The new resort at Tinley Manor, just north of Ballito, represents an investment of R2.1 billion (around R1.7 billion for the resort on the coast, and the balance for an ‘add-on’ big-five safari lodge in Pongola) by local developer Collins Residential, which is part of Syncerus Holdings.
