For over 70 years, Club Med has been at the forefront of all-inclusive tourism, offering travelers an unparalleled experience of carefree vacations. Founded in 1950 by Gérard Blitz and Gilbert Trigano, Club Med revolutionized the travel industry by introducing the concept of all-inclusive holiday clubs and continually innovating to meet the needs of a diverse clientele.
Today, Club Med remains true to its primary mission: satisfying an increasingly demanding tourism sector by offering a selection of rich and varied experiences to its travelers. Whether on a paradisiacal beach or atop snow-covered mountains, Club Med offers a range of activities for all tastes, from emerging sports like flying yoga to luxurious wellness experiences with world-renowned spas.
Far from the dated image of all-inclusive resorts, Club Med constantly evolves to offer an exceptional customer experience. The Exclusive Collection embodies this evolution, offering intimate and personalized luxury in dream destinations around the world.
Exclusive Collection: Redefining Exclusivity by Club Med
Club Med inaugurates the chic of an "All-Inclusive" definitively upscale and demanding through its Exclusive Collection range. The Exclusive Collection Resorts and Spaces by the sea or in the mountains offer a unique experience, where every detail is designed to offer an unforgettable stay. In these havens of luxury, travelers can enjoy late breakfasts served in their room or cabin upon request aboard the Club Med 2, relax with snacks and aperitifs in the calm of a cozy lounge, and enjoy unlimited champagne from 6 p.m. Additionally, the ultra spacious suites offer breathtaking views of the peaks, as in La Rosière. It is the atmosphere and exclusive attentions that distinguish this luxury version of all-inclusive by Club Med, offering travelers an unparalleled vacation experience, where comfort and exclusivity are present at every moment.
But Club Med does not only offer luxury vacations; it also commits to sustainability and authenticity. The resorts are committed to promoting local and sustainable agriculture, while renowned architects and designers use regional materials to create aspirational destinations.
In 2024, Club Med continues its successful trajectory, with record bookings for the first semester. Henri Giscard d'Estaing, president of Club Med, expresses confidence in the brand's future, stating that Club Med is on track to become the most desirable lifestyle tourism brand, offering a unique life experience to its customers while contributing to a sustainable future.
Creating a time and space dedicated where it becomes possible to fully enjoy the feeling of freedom requires a lot of work, and that is precisely the heart of our expertise for over 70 years.
