Club Med, MMV & Belambra: Discover these 3 major hotel groups!

Club Med, formerly known as Club Méditerranée, was founded in the 1950s by former water polo player Gérard Blitz. It all began in Alcúdia, in the Balearic Islands, where he set up a multitude of tents to create one of the first holiday villages. The village offered a wide range of activities, including water skiing, scuba diving and pétanque. Since then, Club Med villages have sprung up all over the world. Indeed, the group is currently continuing to expand internationally, setting up in breathtaking destinations all around the globe. Whether in Europe, Asia or the Caribbean, Club Med offers its holidaymakers incredible facilities to ensure an unforgettable stay. Over the years, the Clubs have also evolved into a very high-end, luxury-oriented service. What’s more, Club Med’s undisputed strength is its All Inclusive formula. Club Med takes care of everything: flights, transfers, meals, all the activities on offer and personalised services for each family. The local character of each destination’s activities and culinary specialities is also emphasised.

Each Club Med offers a unique and exclusive experience, perfectly immersed in the culture of the country or region in question. There are many cultural excursions (cave visits, whale watching, etc.) as well as a wide variety of sports such as kitesurfing, golf, beach volleyball and scuba diving.

In the Little Guest collection, for your next family holiday, we can recommend Club Med Punta Cana ****, located in the Dominican Republic. Take advantage of facilities designed for young and old alike, along with a myriad of activities that you’re sure to enjoy! Try your hand at group tennis lessons, a game of pickleball or one of the many dance classes given by excellent instructors (bachata, salsa, etc.).

For 30 years, the MMV group has continued to position itself as the specialist in mountain holidays. On the programme: entertainment, conviviality and well-being! But the star feature of MMV clubs is none other than their ski package! In a relaxed, family atmosphere, MMV welcomes your family and lets you make the most of the ski slopes. Your children can also go to the Children’s Clubs, where there are plenty of activities for all ages. Babies aged 12 to 36 months are looked after in secure facilities adapted to their needs (Baby Club), while children aged 4 to 6 and 7 to 10 (Kids & Juniors Club) are looked after in clubs where fun and atmosphere are guaranteed, with a wide range of themes established for each resort. As for teenagers aged 11 to 13 and 14 to 17 (Club Teens & Ados), they are invited to have fun in an area specially designed for them, where they can enjoy a sofa, games consoles or even virtual reality, accompanied by an activity leader.

The strengths of the MMV group are undoubtedly their expertise in mountain holidays, and all their establishments are based in the mountains. They offer half-board, full-board and all-inclusive ski holidays during the winter months. Their offers are highly flexible, giving you the chance to choose what best suits your dream holiday. By choosing to book a stay at an MMV establishment, you have the opportunity to take advantage of numerous benefits, such as preferential rates on equipment (downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, etc.), on your lift pass (gondola, cable car, etc.) or on winter sports lessons with the ESF. What’s more, the prices offered by MMV clubs are much lower than those found in other hotel groups such as Club Med, without in any way affecting the quality of the service offered. Among our hotels, we recommend the Club MMV Plagne Aime 2000 **** in Savoie. This warm and welcoming place offers a splendid view of Mont Blanc and its surroundings. This accommodation also has interconnecting rooms, which is great when you’re travelling with the family!

In the heart of the most beautiful places in France, Belambra invites you to get together as a family, to let go and be pampered by their teams. The spirit of conviviality is always at the heart of all their services. Most Belambra clubs also offer a half-board or full-board formula, so you can choose the one that best suits your needs. For babies, Belambra works with the Blédina brand, which offers a selection of products carefully prepared to meet the nutritional needs of the little ones. The menu includes both savoury and sweet dishes: vegetables, wholemeal dishes and milky desserts – your children are in for a treat!

Among the 4 Belambra hotels in our collection, we can suggest Les Deux Alpes, Les Crêtes ***** located in Isère. The resort, nestled in France’s highest ski area, is the ideal place to enjoy a snowy holiday. For your children, a Baby Club, Kids Club and Teens Club are available on site. From the age of 3, experienced activity leaders will accompany your children on the slopes and guide them so that they can become real ski pros (or almost)! As well as skiing, the club also offers a wide range of other activities, including dog-sleigh rides, water-skiing, bowling and film screenings in the hotel cinema. You can also take advantage of the wellness centre facilities, such as the spa and sauna, to recharge your batteries and pamper yourself.
