Club Med

Booking a Club Med holiday works much like buying a package: one price covers accommodation, most meals and drinks, many sports and activities, and kids' clubs for selected ages, with flights and transfers bundled in some markets. That predictability is the core appeal for families and groups who want to avoid tallying daily costs. Packages are available at beach resorts in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Indian Ocean and Asia, and as ski holidays at mountain resorts where lift passes and lessons are generally included. Club Med also offers sailing cruises aboard Club Med 2. Before committing, compare the package total with a do-it-yourself trip, check what excursions, spa treatments and premium drinks cost extra, and confirm whether flights from your nearest airport are included in the price.
