Top 3 Family Friendly Club Med Resorts
If you’ve spent hours looking for a resort that will take the load off of worrying about what to do with the kids when you need some time to relax, Club Med Resorts is for you! Club Med is a wonderful option for families that allows mom and dad to relax and enjoy the vacation too.
Here I’ll share with you the three Club Med Resorts that I highly recommend considering when booking your next family vacation.
What is Club Med Resorts?
Club Med is an all-inclusive resort, where the pricing is per person rather than per room. The exciting part is that children aged 0-3 stay for free, 4-11 enjoy a 50% discount, and 12-15 receive a 20% discount.
Club Med has locations in many beautiful places around the world, and they pride themselves on providing the perfect escape from the hustle of everyday life so that you have no excuse to take a break and spend meaningful time with your family.
Club Med for Children
When you let Club Med know you are traveling with a child who is 4-23 months old, you will be given the “baby welcome” as part of your all-inclusive package which includes baby beds, a bathtub, strollers, bottle warmers, and everything you could possibly need right in your room.
At an extra charge, you can leave your babies in good hands at “Baby Club Med”, where they will experience age-appropriate activities so you can enjoy some adult time. Children aged 2-3 have access to 24/7 childcare, which is a great feature exclusive to Club Med (most other resorts with kids clubs or childcare starts at 4 years old).
At the “Petit Club Med”, your young ones can partake in activities suitable for their age ranging from a baby gym to support their learning motor skills to crafting to engage their creativity. It is a small additional cost to your trip because, as we noted earlier, kids under 3 are free.
The services don’t stop at sundown. The “Pajama Club” runs from 7-11pm and allows for children to play and wind down in a group setting, and there is also individualized evening babysitting offered at an extra charge if you request it.
Children ages 4-10 years old have access to many enjoyable activities at the complimentary “Mini Club Med” where they can play sports, games, do arts and crafts, and even take circus school lessons! It will surely be a unique experience they will never forget.
Club Med for Teens
Teens between 11-17 years old get to have their own space away from their parents where they can learn film design, play video games, learn how to DJ, take circus lessons, and play sports with their peers. They can even partake in the same sports lessons offered to adults such as tennis, golf, and scuba. Teens have access to their own juice bar at the Miches resort!
