Club Med, the pioneer of the all-inclusive vacation experience, has announced exciting new developments across its international portfolio. Key updates include the introduction of Club Med’s first resort in the Gulf States, extensive renovations at Club Med Cancun and Club Med Punta Cana, a new yoga partnership with Jonah Kest, and notable achievements in corporate social responsibility (CSR).
Club Med Cancun Renovations
Club Med Cancun is set for a major transformation over the next year. The main pool area will be upgraded to an expansive infinity pool that borders a picturesque natural lagoon, complemented by a new beach and pool bar just steps from the sand.
The renovations will also see select Deluxe Rooms near the beach bar and Sports & Wellness Island receiving a sophisticated redesign that blends Mayan cultural elements with contemporary furnishings and private balconies offering serene sea and lagoon views. These updates are slated for completion by July 2025.
Additionally, the Family Oasis will feature new attractions including a Mayan-themed Splash Park, Water Park, Mini Pool, Playground, Fun Zone, and Mini Cinema. The Children’s Club will be relocated to be adjacent to the Aguamarina family oceanfront rooms, and a new Baby Club Med will be introduced.
