Club Med opens second property in Dominican Republic

Club Med is developing a resort in Miches, Dominican Republic, marking the company's first 5-Trident property in the Caribbean.

Miches, located on the northeast coast of the Dominican Republic, will be home to the company's newest endeavor, Club Med Michès.

The all-inclusive resort will be Club Med's first 5-Trident resort to open in the Americas, joining Club Med's Exclusive Collection.

Club Med Michès is scheduled to open December 2019 and will be the very first operating resort in the soon-to-be-developed region.

"Club Med first discovered the unmatched beauty of the Dominican Republic in 1978, when our resort in Punta Cana opened its doors. We pioneered the destination into what it is today," expressed Xavier Mufraggi, CEO of Club Med, North America.

"Fast-forward 40 years, and with the assistance of our partners and the warm, welcoming spirit of the Dominican people, we continue our world-renowned pioneering spirit. In less than two short years, we will open the doors to our Club Med resort in Miches, introducing this tropical destination and its beautiful beaches to the rest of the world."

Club Med executives held a celebratory event during the morning of May 3, 2018, to lay the first hallmark icon for the resort: the first cabana day bed. Club Med Michès marks Club Med's first and biggest new resort concept in the Caribbean in 25 years. The Club Med team was joined by government officials of the Dominican Republic, including H. E. Danilo Medina Sánchez, President of the Dominican Republic, as well as business, real estate and development partners contributing to this monumental project.

"Anywhere Club Med goes, they do well. This is why they have a presence in [nearly] 40 countries," announced Francisco Javier García Fernández, the Minister of Tourism for the Dominican Republic, during the official groundbreaking event of Club Med Michès in the Dominican Republic. He shared his excitement to have Club Med as the first company to build and operate in this region due to the company's strategic vision and its proven success in developing destinations.

Miches is located about an hour from the Punta Cana International Airport. The 93-acre resort will include adult-exclusive areas (a concept currently present in the Zen Oasis area of Club Med Punta Cana), Club Med's children's clubs for all ages (from 4 months to 17 years of age), and a wide array of inclusive land and water sports.
