Surprising Club Med

Club Med may be best known as a singles destination, but today, the company offers something for everyone at its many resorts, from tours of archaeological digs to snowboarding school to day care and nightly baby-sitting services at Baby Clubs.

Andres Jordan, president of Club Med Sales, Inc., said, "There are no compromises at Club Med. Everyone can do what he or she likes best." That offers kids and parents vacations they can enjoy together. "A Club Med vacation gives children a chance to stretch, grow, do things they've never tried before. And for parents, there's nothing more satisfying than dropping your children off and having them say, "Don't come back until the other parents do. We're having fun."

Club Med offers all-inclusive vacations at popular destinations all over the world. There are family villages in Florida, the Bahamas, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Colorado. There are singles clubs in Haiti, Martinique, and Mexico; couples villages in the Bahamas, French Polynesia, and Guadeloupe; and adventure villages in Thailand, Israel, Australia, Brazil, Morocco, and more.

Club Med destinations in the Caribbean and South Atlantic include Eluethera, Paradise Island, and Columbus Isle, Bahamas; Punta Cana, Dominican Republic; Magic Isle, Haiti; Caravelle, Guadeloupe; Turkoise, Turks and Caicos; Buccaneers Creek, Martinique, and Cancun, Mexico. Club Med also has two motorized sailing ships that offer seven-night cruise vacations. Club Med 1 sails the Caribbean and Mediterranean; Club Med 2 sails the South Pacific and French Polynesia.

For a seven-night stay at Club Med on Paradise Island, Bahamas, vacations are priced from $952 per person, double occupancy plus one-time $80 per person lifetime membership fee. These rates include airfare from Miami.
