Who are we?
Club Med was founded in 1950 on the idea that the purpose of life is to be happy. The place to be happy is here. The moment to be happy is now.
Since then, our mission has been to create moments of happiness every day and share them with our guests, in nearly 70 Premium and Exclusive Collection Resorts located in the most beautiful destinations in the world.
To make this happen, we have something others don’t: the Club Med Spirit and our five core values of kindness, multiculturalism, responsibility, freedom and a pioneering spirit.
