i By February 15, 2024 No Comments

Club Med is expanding its Wellness Fusion Program and building on its CSR initiatives this year.

2024 marks the final expansion of the Wellness Fusion program across seven properties in Mexico, Dominican Republic, The Bahamas, Turks & Caicos, and Québec, Canada. Combining a fusion of wellness experiences designed to harness peace of mind, the program offers an itinerary filled with healthy nutrition, yoga, active sports, spa relaxation and nature reconnection.

Club Med first introduced the program in 2022 in response to travelers’ growing interest in participating in activities on vacation that enhance well-being and mental health. Since then, it has evolved to offer dedicated yoga G.Os (Gracious Organizers) for each resort, 20+ hours of yoga and meditation per week, guided wellness nights, rotating plant-based dishes inspired by a partnership with Food Network’s award-winning vegan Chef Chloe Coscarelli, and more.

The Wellness Fusion program is now available at Club Med Michès Playa Esmeralda, Club Med Punta Cana, Club Med Québec, Club Med Ixtapa Pacific, Club Med Cancún, Club Med Columbus and Club Med Turkoise.
