Best Club Med Resorts: 10 Villages to Pick from Canada


For a Canadian traveller, the best Club Med resorts are Quebec Charlevoix with no flight needed, Cancún and Punta Cana for a family beach trip, Michès and Columbus Isle for peace and quiet, Val Thorens for skiing, then Kani and Bali for a long-haul getaway. On Club Med's Canadian website, you pay in Canadian dollars.
To lighten the bill, put your booking on a card whose points apply to a travel purchase, such as the National Bank World Elite Mastercard: 12,000 points cover 100 dollars of travel. Club Med popularized the all-inclusive formula, which bundles accommodation, meals, drinks and activities into a single price.
With its first holiday resort in Alcudia, Spain in 1950, the innovative concept of Club Med quickly gained popularity, and the company continued to expand by opening new holiday resorts around the world.

With their GOs (gentils organisateurs) and included activities, Club Med resorts offer memorable vacation experiences for the whole family. Some are adults-only, however, like Club Med Turkoise.
Organized excursions to discover the area are booked as extras, on site or before you leave.
These resorts also offer different room types suited to families’ needs. Among them, family rooms generally provide a separate space for parents and children; family suites may include a separate bedroom for parents and a lounge; while connecting rooms are linked by an interior door.
