Club Med: The Gold Standard of Family-Friendly, All-Inclusive Holidays

Posted by

I know I promised some introductions to some of our new and exciting partners, but after powering through an incredible Black Friday — which, let’s be honest, now feels more like Black Fortnight — I couldn’t resist starting with one of my existing favourites.

Club Med has been one of my top-selling partners, particularly in the last year, and for good reason. Whether it’s sun or snow, they consistently deliver the kind of all-inclusive luxury that families, couples and groups appreciate. And if you’re not usually drawn to the all-inclusive concept — or you’ve hovered in that “curious but not convinced” stage — Club Med might be the perfect place to give it a try.

This 2025/2026 ski season has been especially popular with my clients, so today I want to shine a light on why Club Med works so beautifully for families — and why their all-inclusive ski holidays continue to sell out long before the snow even touches the mountains.

Why Families Love Club Med — Then and Now

Club Med’s story began in the 1950s, when it was among some of the first to pioneer the all-inclusive, stress-free holiday. Its founder, Gérard Blitz, famously said: “The purpose of life is to be happy.” He believed holidays should remove the pressures of daily life so families could reconnect, enjoy each other’s company, and rediscover simple pleasures.

Seventy five years later, that ethos is still at the heart of Club Med — but the experience has evolved dramatically. Today, the brand offers polished, premium resorts in some of the world’s most beautiful locations. Recent investments in renovations, sport and wellness programming, and new openings (including a South Africa resort in 2026, with a safari add-on suitable from age 4!) have elevated the product into a modern luxury experience.

This blend of heritage and innovation is exactly why families, couples and groups remain loyal to Club Med: it’s genuinely effortless, and beautifully executed across both snow and sun destinations


The Features That Make Club Med Stand Out

What sets Club Med apart is how all the elements of the holiday experience connect seamlessly, creating a stress-free environment where both adults and children can unwind.

Childcare & Kids’ Clubs

Club Med excels in childcare. Their programmes are expertly designed, age-specific, and delivered by trained professionals — giving parents real peace of mind and children the chance to learn, explore and make friends.

  • Baby Club Med (4–23 months) and Petit Club Med (2–3 years)
  • Mini Club Med (4–10 years) with sport, creativity and confidence-building activities
  • Junior & Teen Clubs with modern creative spaces and age-tailored sports
  • Ski resorts: escorted ski lessons, snow gardens, and ski-school integration for ages 4+ with this included in your booking from the age of 4. At select ski resorts, you can add on ‘Learn to Ski’ from the age of 3.

For many parents, the holiday truly begins when they see just how happy, settled and supported their children are.

Kids’ Clubs are automatically included from Mini-Club upwards. Baby Club and Petit Club do carry a small additional cost and are not available at all resorts. These spaces do go fast and I always recommend to book ahead.


Dining & Drinks

Dining is a genuine highlight at Club Med — varied, fresh, creative and always tailored to the destination.

  • Generous, all-day dining
  • Regional dishes that celebrate local flavours
  • Fine dining or Michelin-influenced menus in select resorts
  • Quality wines, cocktails and spirits included
  • Themed evenings with a polished, fun atmosphere

At Club Med, they recognize that exceptional cuisine is a cornerstone of the holiday experience, and they spare no effort to source the freshest, most authentic, and utterly delicious dishes across all our resorts.


Activities: Sun & Snow

Whether your ideal holiday is adventurous, relaxing or somewhere in between, Club Med’s activity offering is one of the broadest in the industry.

In Snow Resorts:

  • 25 hours of ski lessons per week, included
  • Skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and guided mountain adventures
  • Tobogganing, ice climbing, ski touring and resort-specific extras
  • Family activities including crepes, picnics, workshops and family yoga
  • Sunday-to-Sunday ski weeks to avoid the Saturday traffic crush

In Sun Resorts:

  • Sailing, paddleboarding and water sports
  • Pools, beaches, quiet zones and family areas
  • Yoga, meditation and the world-class wellbeing programme
  • Flying trapeze, padel, tennis, golf and creative workshops
  • Snorkelling, excursions and destination-specific activities

Exclusive Collection & Adults-Only Options

For guests wanting something elevated, the Exclusive Collection offers an enhanced luxury experience while still maintaining the stress-free, all-inclusive feel.

  • Private beaches or pool zones
  • Spacious suites and higher room categories
  • Premium WiFi, private transfers and personalised service
  • Exclusive in-room amenities, including evening champagne

Adults seeking a more serene environment can also opt for adults-only zones or full adults-only resorts like Club Med Turkoise.


Sun Destinations

From Mediterranean favourites to far-flung island escapes, Club Med’s sun resorts are located in some of the world’s most beautiful settings. The resorts shown here are just a small selection of what’s available, chosen to showcase the variety of experiences — from relaxed family beaches to more refined, adults-focused escapes.

Club Med has many more sun resorts beyond those featured here. If a particular destination, travel style or time of year is on your mind, get in touch and I can guide you through the full portfolio and share tailored recommendations, resort factsheets and availability.

Snow Destinations

These resorts offer a snapshot of Club Med’s ski portfolio, showcasing some of their most popular Alpine destinations. However, they represent only part of a much broader collection of snow resorts across France, Italy, Switzerland and beyond — each carefully chosen for its altitude, ski domain, snow reliability and resort experience.

Whether you’re prioritising high-altitude skiing, family-friendly facilities, ski-in/ski-out convenience or a more refined mountain escape, there are many more options available than those shown here. I’m happy to guide you through the full range and share detailed resort factsheets, availability and tailored recommendations.

Parents can relax knowing every detail is covered, children are safe and happy, and everyone can enjoy their holiday in their own way.
