Club Mditerrane

What Club Mditerrane does

Club Med SAS, founded in 1950 by Gerard Blitz in Mallorca and headquartered in Paris, is a privately held French company that pioneered the all-inclusive vacation concept. It operates more than 60 managed resorts across 30+ countries spanning beach, mountain, cruise, villa/chalet, and guided circuit categories, supplemented by wholly-owned subsidiaries Club Med 2 (luxury cruise ship in the Caribbean and Mediterranean), Club Med Developpement (new resort development), and Club Med Property (managed residence program). Sub-brands include the Exclusive Collection luxury tier, Club Med Circuits, and Day Pass for non-staying visitors.

The company sells all-inclusive vacation packages directly to consumers through its clubmed.fr website, telephone customer service, WhatsApp support, and owned physical Club Med agencies in France, with no third-party OTA distribution. Packages bundle accommodation, meals, beverages, sports instruction, entertainment, and childcare into a single price, with pricing varying by resort tier (standard versus Exclusive Collection), season, destination, and duration; circuit packages are priced from approximately €2,990 per adult for 7-8 day programs, while Exclusive Collection luxury properties command premium rates. Customer segments include families with children (primary, supported by kids clubs for ages 0-17), couples, solo adults, and corporate/MICE groups.

Recent strategic activity centers on geographic and product expansion: the first South Africa resort (Beach & Safari) opened in 2025, Club Med Bornéo is planned for 2026, and a new Exclusive Collection property in Oman is scheduled for 2028. The company maintains an in-house GO (Gentils Organisateurs) service culture that anchors its brand differentiation, holds multiple TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice and Best of the Best awards across properties in 2025-2026, and has accumulated sustainability credentials including Green Globe certification since 2011 at Club Med Palmiye and BREEAM certification at Valmorel. No revenue, headcount, or funding figures are disclosed in the available data.
