Club Med

What Club Med does

Club Med, founded in 1950 and headquartered in Paris as Club Med SAS, is a premium all-inclusive resort operator running 60–65+ resorts across more than 25 countries spanning Europe, the Caribbean, North and South America, the Indian Ocean, Africa, and Asia. Its core product bundles accommodation, gourmet dining, premium drinks, sports and wellness activities, entertainment, and childcare (starting from 4 months old) under a single prepaid price, delivered through the proprietary "G.O. (Gentils Organisateurs)" staff model in which employees act as hosts, activity leaders, and entertainers. The technology foundation is an integrated resort management system covering booking, guest services, childcare programmes, sports activities, and dining operations, supplemented by a mobile app and direct digital channels.

The business model layers multiple revenue streams on top of the core holiday package: subscription-style all-inclusive pricing for standard and Exclusive Collection premium resorts, one-time property sales (€550K–€900K+) under the Club Med Property programme with rental management and global exchange rights, professional services revenue from corporate MICE events (nearly 1,000 annually across 220 meeting rooms), and ancillary fees from transport add-ons and travel insurance. Go-to-market is hybrid: direct-to-consumer via clubmed.co.uk, phone booking, and WhatsApp; travel agent partnerships for leisure; and dedicated enterprise sales teams for MICE and property sales. Customer segments span families, couples, groups, luxury travellers, and corporate event buyers, with the Great Members loyalty programme covering 5M+ members and providing repeat-customer lock-in alongside the property exchange ecosystem.
