What Is Club Med?
Club Med is one of the original all-inclusive resort brands, built around a distinctive model: most sports, activities and lessons — think sailing, trapeze, tennis and golf — are included in the rate rather than charged as extras, which is unusual among mainstream all-inclusive brands.
Where Are Club Med Resorts Located?
Unlike most all-inclusive brands concentrated in the Caribbean and Mexico, Club Med operates resorts globally, including beach properties in Mexico, the Caribbean and the Maldives, plus ski resorts in the French Alps and other winter destinations.
What’s Included at Club Med
Rates typically include all meals and drinks, most sports and activity lessons, and kids club access at family-friendly properties. Club Med’s staff, known as G.O.s (Gentle Organizers), lead activities and entertainment throughout the resort.
Who Is Club Med Best For?
Best for: Active families and travelers wanting sports and activities genuinely included in the rate, plus skiers looking for an all-inclusive winter option.
