Looking to escape the seemingly never-ending autumn/winter that has held the UK in its grip so far in 2013? Then Club Med’s tropical, long-haul destinations are the best place for guaranteed sun, sand and perfect seas. Not only this, but each resort provides you with all the activities and facilities to take full advantage of the great weather, whether you’re a fan of water sports or would rather keep your feet firmly on the ground.
Malaysia
The setting for this resort is simply spectacular. On one side you can explore the dense, lush Malaysian jungle, home to macaque monkeys, gibbons and rare, brightly coloured birds. On the other, you can bask under the sun on the resort’s own kilometre stretch of private beach, covered by beautiful white sand set against a perfect turquoise sea.

There’s plenty here to keep you active too. Its Sailing Academy is great for sailing enthusiasts and beginners alike, offering the best equipment and facilities you’re likely to find at any resort. They provide their own professional instructors, so beginners will be seaworthy in no time, and for the experts, it’s a great way to hone your skills and take full advantage temperate and crystal clear waters.
Florida
One trip to Florida and you’ll be hard pressed to do wrong in your children’s eyes for a long while after. Florida, with its assortment of world-famous amusement parks, water parks and thrill rides, is every child’s dream come true.
Florida
Within driving distance of Miami and Orlando, Club Med’s resort is the ideal base for any Florida holiday. It’s perfect for families, with children’s clubs that cater to all age groups, letting them make new friends while you have the chance to get a little well-deserved rest.
But they shouldn’t be having all the fun. There are plenty of sports to get involved with, like football and volleyball and of course, golf. No self-respecting Florida resort would be complete without a golf course and Club Med’s stands well above the rest: a full, 18-hole course designed by the renowned Mark Mahannah.
But again, it’s not all about the sports. There’s also Club Med’s specialist spa offering treatments and routines specially designed by natural beauty experts L’Occitane, to help you fully rejuvenate and recharge.
Mexico
If you’re keen to explore and make some discoveries, then Club Med’s Cancun Yacatan resort is perfect. Close by, you’ll find fascinating Mayan sites. The resort runs regular day trips to the sites by catamaran, where you can learn about the ancient history and culture of the area.

But if you don’t want to, you don’t even have to leave the resort to get the most out of your holiday. It offers some of the best and most varied sports facilities of all the Club Med resorts, covering all the basics, like beach volleyball and water polo, as well as sailing and windsurfing. You’ll be proficient in no time, under the expert guidance of Club Med’s instructors.
San Salvador, Bahamas
Discover the gateway to the New World with Club Med, on the island where Christopher Columbus landed on his voyage to the Americas 500 years ago.
San Salvador, Bahamas
And it is discovery that the resort on San Salvador is dedicated to – offering a whole host of new pleasures and activities for you to try. Explore the ocean and snorkel among the tropical marine life and brightly coloured fish of the Caribbean Sea. Or if you’re more comfortable on the surface, try your hand at some paddle boarding or windsurfing. If you’re more a land dweller, then explore the pleasure side and take one of the treatment packages in the spa.
Mauritius
For a more intimate holiday with family or friends (or for that special someone), Club Med’s Albion Villas are ideal. You’ll get your own pool for extra privacy – ideal if you’re on a romantic break. The villas themselves are spacious and comfortable, with all the mod cons you need, including a fully functional kitchen.

Of course, just because you have a kitchen it doesn’t mean you’re expected to lift a finger – not if you don’t want to. You’ll be provided with your own personal butler who will prepare breakfast every morning. And at an extra cost you can even have your own personal chef visit your villa. Otherwise, simply nip over to the nearby La Plantation d’Albion and take advantage of the restaurants serving great local and international cuisine.
Remember, this is just a small selection of resorts from Club Med, who have a huge selection of luxury resorts all over the world. Wherever you want to go and whatever it is you’re looking for in a holiday, there’s undoubtedly a resort that is perfect for you.
