From champagne-coloured beaches to silky snow landscapes, Club Med’s all-inclusive resorts will take your next holiday to an all new level.
With luxury suites, gourmet dining, an open bar policy (yes, please) and endless activities and entertainment, Club Med has a holiday for everyone.
Wanting a little ‘me’ time? Don’t worry, Club Med also offers activities for kids (included in your stay, of course), as well as their famous kids’ club for all ages – we’re talking four-month-olds to 17-year-olds. You’ll be lounging by the pool uninterrupted before you know it.
And if you’re looking for something a little different, try one of these local experiences offered at a Club Med near you.
1. Flying trapeze in Bintan Island
Ever wondered what flying feels like? Well, there are 20 Club Med resorts around the world that offer full-scale trapeze classes taught by trained trapeze artists. At Club Med Bintan in Indonesia, just 45 minutes by ferry from Singapore, guests can enjoy an extensive trapeze course as part of their stay. With views of the oversized pool, surrounding palm trees and shimmering beach, you’ll be throwing yourself through the air holding onto the trapeze bar in no time at all.
Swing, flip and soar.
2. Thai boxing classes in Phuket
Mix culture and fitness at Club Med Phuket, where you can learn the local custom of Thai boxing. Embedded in the local culture, this fast-paced martial art is a version of traditional kickboxing, so you’ll learn how to use your fists, elbows, feet and knees in the ring. Don’t worry if you’re a complete beginner – the qualified teachers will take you through a gentle introduction one step at a time. Children as young as eight can join in, so it’s a great activity for the family to burn off some energy. Once you work up a sweat, just cool off in the resort’s stunning beachside pool.

3. Padel in the Maldives
If you’re a fan of padel, you’ll love Club Med Kani in the Maldives. Not only is access to the padel courts (plus racket and ball hire) included in your stay, but you can also improve your skills with trained instructors. Not sure what padel is? It’s a fun mix of tennis, squash and the Spanish game of pelota – a fun-filled game you can play in pairs or singles. It’ll get your heart pounding, helping you work up an appetite for the fresh seafood and mix of cuisines on offer throughout the resort.

4. Sunrise yoga in Bali
Set on the longest beachfront in Nusa Dua, beautiful Club Med Bali mixes traditional culture with modern conveniences. Here, you can avoid the crowds and connect deeply with the soul of Bali through sunrise yoga classes, the perfect way to greet the day. Held on lush grass with views across to the beach, these refreshing classes complement the harmony of nature on display – think bougainvillea and frangipani flowers, tall palms and lapping waves on the shore. Bliss.

5. Thai cooking classes in Phuket
Most of us experience a culture through our stomachs, so it’ll come as no surprise that one of the most popular experiences at Club Med Phuket is their signature cooking classes. Taught by the resort’s experienced chefs, these hands-on lessons will help you tame the local spices and create flavour bombs on your plate. Bring home the souvenir of new cooking skills after a stay at this freshly renovated resort in the heart of one of Thailand’s most stunning regions.

6. Marine trail snorkelling in the Maldives
Snorkelling and scuba diving are a mainstay at Club Med resorts near the sea, but Club Med Kani has taken it one step further; the resort has partnered with local marine consultation company Reefscapers to create the Mobi Reef Underwater Trail. Designed to help the local coral reef thrive and survive, guests can join a snorkel tour to explore the artificial reef and learn why native sea life needs protection from overfishing and climate change. Kids as young as eight are welcomed on the tour.

7. 18-hole golf in Bali
Nothing says ‘relaxing holiday’ quite like a leisurely 18-hole golf round among lush, tropical surrounds, and that’s exactly what Club Med Bali offers. Within the resort itself, you’ll find a Pitch and Putt course to refine your skills. You can even pick up a lesson or two, as the resort provides highly qualified instructors for players of all levels. All the club fees, golf clubs and balls are included, so all you have to do is enjoy the fairway. Fancy a longer game? Visit one of three nearby golf courses, including the Bali National Golf Course Club.
Tee off in tropical bliss.
