Club Med Expands Its Ski Resort Portfolio with the Grand Opening of Club Med Kiroro in Hokkaido, Japan
Club Med, a leader in all-inclusive beach and ski resorts, has recently celebrated a significant milestone with the grand opening of its latest gem, the Club Med Kiroro Grand, on December 1, 2023. Situated in the snow-rich region of Hokkaido, Japan, this resort stands as a testament to Club Med’s commitment to expanding its global ski vacation offerings.
Nestled in northern Japan, an area renowned for its extended 160-day winter season and impressive snowfall records, Club Med Kiroro Grand is poised to offer an unparalleled winter sports experience. The resort boasts 266 elegantly designed rooms, each reflecting an alpine style inspired by the serene beauty of the natural surroundings.
Club Med Kiroro Grand is not just about luxury accommodations; it also provides access to 23 diverse courses across the Asari and Nagamine mountains, catering to skiers and snowboarders of all skill levels. To enhance the experience, the resort offers professional skiing and snowboarding lessons.
A standout feature of the resort is Club Med’s first traditional Japanese onsen, a soothing hot spring that forms part of the resort’s extensive wellness offerings. This is complemented by a full-service spa, ensuring guests have plenty of options for relaxation and rejuvenation.
Dining at Club Med Kiroro Grand is an adventure in itself, with two inclusive dining concepts. The Ogon serves sumptuous hot pot dishes, while Yoichi offers a range of international cuisine. For an extra cost, guests can indulge in exquisite sushi at The Ebisu or enjoy yakiniku grilling at The Kaen.
Rachael Harding, CEO of Club Med East, South Asia and Pacific, expressed her excitement about the resort’s opening, noting the success of Club Med Kiroro Peak last winter. “We are thrilled to see Club Med Kiroro Grand opening its doors, especially following the high occupancy we’ve seen with festive weeks and most of January,” Harding said. “This resort is a wonderful addition to our portfolio, enriching the array of destinations we offer and ensuring that every traveler finds their perfect holiday experience with us.”
Club Med Kiroro Grand’s launch, announced in July 2023, marks Club Med’s twentieth ski resort, further solidifying its position as a leading provider of luxurious ski holidays. This opening is more than just an expansion; it’s a celebration of the fusion of exceptional ski experiences with the rich beauty and culture of Japan, offering travelers an unforgettable getaway in Hokkaido’s winter wonderland.
