Club Med achieves strong first-half 2025 results, expands global footprint

Club Med continues to report strong growth as it advances projects around the world.  

In the first half of 2025, the brand reported that Mountain Resorts saw a seven per cent increase in Business Volume and a six per cent rise in Average Daily Rate (ADR), reads a press release.

Similarly, the Exclusive Collection—Club Med’s luxury all-inclusive line—saw a six per cent ADR increase, underscoring strong demand for upscale holiday experiences.

Over 1.5 million guests visited Club Med in the 2024 fiscal year, with 75 per cent coming from abroad—a 12-point increase over the past decade.

As it celebrates 75 years, Club Med is moving forward with projects across North America, South Africa, Asia, and Europe, alongside major renovations to its flagship Punta Cana property this fall.

"Club Med delivered a strong performance in the first half of 2025, reflecting the successful execution of its premium, all-inclusive strategy and the unwavering commitment of our teams worldwide,” said Stéphane Maquaire, president of Club Med, in a press release. “Forward bookings for the rest of the year and into 2026 show continued momentum in an uncertain environment, supported by robust demand for mountain destinations and upscale experiences. Club Med remains well-positioned to pursue sustainable growth, supported by its 75-year heritage and disciplined global expansion.”

75 years of Club Med

Club Med celebrated its 75th anniversary with a global brand activation campaign launched in the first half of the year.

The campaign showcases 75 years of iconic archive footage that revisits the visionary origins of the first all-inclusive holiday club, tracing seven and a half decades of innovation from its Mediterranean beginnings to worldwide expansion and current trends.

“Celebrating 75 years is a powerful reflection of Club Med’s legacy and continued leadership in the all-inclusive sector. As we look to the future, we remain dedicated to enhancing the guest experience through innovation, elevated offerings, and sustainable practices. The extensive renovation of our flagship resorts in Punta Cana and Cancun exemplify this commitment—reimagining our most iconic destinations to meet the evolving expectations of today’s travelers while preserving the spirit that defines Club Med,” stated Carolyne Doyon, president & CEO, North America and the Caribbean, at Club Med.

Renovations & new resorts

Club Med Punta Cana, Club Med’s flagship North America resort, will unveil five major renovations that set a new standard for the all-inclusive experience, including: brand new social spaces, fresh culinary experiences and newly renovated accommodations.

The highlights include Costa Del Coco, Deluxe Rooms (each room includes a private balcony and a spa-like bathroom with a rain shower); the Buena Vista Lounge (a 360° panoramic welcome area offers a bohemian chic aesthetic); the El Mundo Food Club (Club Med’s re-imagined main dining room); Joia Bar and The Coffee Shop.

The new spaces come after the property suffered significant damage from a fire in 2024.

Club Med’s first resort in South Africa

Located on the Indian Ocean coast in Kwazulu-Natal, Club Med South Africa Beach & Safari Resort, opening in 2026, will be Club Med’s first South African resort.

The 411-room, beachside property along South Africa’s Dolphin Coast is just 30 minutes from King Shaka International Airport and 45 minutes from Durban.

A 4.5 hour drive north will lead to an 80-room safari lodge on an 18,000 hectares Hluhluwe game reserve, home to Africa’s "Big Five" wildlife, just for Club Med guests.

The resort will feature the brand’s first ever Surf School and an Exclusive Collection space will offer guests a soothing and revitalizing holiday atmosphere, with an emphasis firmly on lifestyle.

Bookings for Club Med South Africa Beach & Safari Resort open in October 2025, alongside a special sale across all Club Med resorts.

Guests who book between October 13 and October 17, 2025, will receive instant savings of up to $990 per person, per week, for travel between May 30 and November 27, 2026.
