Club Med SAS
Club Med SAS, commonly known as Club Med, is a French travel and tourism operator headquartered in Paris, France, specializing in all-inclusive holidays. Founded in 1950 by Gérard Blitz and Gilbert Trigano, the company pioneered the all-inclusive vacation concept, aiming to create happiness and offer a vision of carefreeness and freedom through unique experiences that foster reconnection, well-being, nature, and disconnection.
The company operates nearly 70 premium and Exclusive Collection resort villages across more than 40 countries, spanning Europe, the Middle East, North America, Africa, South America, Asia, and Oceania. Club Med's offerings include comprehensive all-inclusive packages featuring gourmet dining, open bars, a wide array of over 60 sports and activities with expert instruction, and dedicated kids' clubs for all ages. The brand caters to international clients, with a particular focus on families and couples seeking leisure and corporate events, and also offers cruises aboard the Club Med 2 sailboat.
Currently led by President and CEO Stéphane Maquaire, Club Med is a subsidiary of the Chinese conglomerate Fosun International. In August 2026, Fosun International filed for an initial public offering (IPO) in Hong Kong for the Club Med Lifestyle Group, signaling a strategic move to fund global resort expansion, upgrade vacation products, and invest in digital capabilities. The company has an ambitious plan to double its size by 2035, aiming to reach 100 Premium Resorts worldwide and serve 2.6 million guests, building on a strong performance in 2025 with business volume exceeding €2.2 billion. Recent developments include the planned redevelopment of the Carambola Beach Resort in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, in partnership with VICI Properties, marking Club Med's return to U.S. shores. The company also emphasizes its commitment to social responsibility and sustainable tourism practices.
