Achievements
Half a century ago, Club Med invented the concept of the all-inclusive getaway. Now Club Med is reinventing the concept, building a great future on a foundation of enduring values. As a first step, in 2003, Club Med launched Total All-Inclusive™ Vacations, introducing an open bar and snacking throughout the day and evening for one all-inclusive price. Today, family villages offer every amenity that parents and kids need for the ultimate escape. At the adult villages, Club Med redefines “sizzle.”
Today, Club Med has more than 100 villages around the world, including 29 ski destinations, plus Club Med 2 — the world's largest sailing cruise ship, which is on the Mediterranean all summer and the Caribbean all winter.
Club Med has a total of 10 villages spanning the United States, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and Mexico, and three in Brazil. It would be hard to overstate the importance of the U.S. Club Med market today, or its potential for the future. After France — Club Med’s historic home — the United States is the second biggest market, and thanks to a very aggressive marketing program, it may well become the number-one market within a few short years.
And Club Med feels completely at home in the United States. To the French recipe for gracious living, Club Med has added a measure of American vitality, a dash of Americans’ love for action, and a little zest borrowed from Broadway and Hollywood. On the continental U.S., Club Med has two unique villages — Sandpiper-Florida, a country club–like resort with 19 tennis courts and a professional-caliber golf course on site — and Crested Butte, a one-of-a-kind ski-in/ski-out village in Colorado.
