Happiness shared with others represents the wonderful adventure that Club Med is and has always been. This is the life force of Club Med, on which it has drawn since day one and which drives it forward, says Olivier Horps, Club Meds Vice-President of Marketing, Asia Pacific. Our communication studies in various Asian countries have also revealed that dreamy visuals of nature, landscapes and sceneries tend to inspire relaxation and an overall sense of well-being. We hope that by showcasing Bali as a destination, we spread some glimpses of its beauty and splendour that will perhaps trigger a desire to visit these dream places in reality.
Extensive renovation to the Club Med Bali resort has transformed it into an exotic and charming haven: a perfect harmony between modern design and traditional Balinese architecture. Located in Nusa Dua on the south-east coast of the island of Bali, this gem is lush, tropical and picturesque. In the distance, the slopes of the Batur Volcano make a dramatic backdrop to terraced padi fields, while the clear blue waters and white sandy beaches of Bali are irresistibly breathtaking, making this resort the perfect choice for a blissful island escape and a versatile setting for the would-be finalists to unleash their imagination and creativity.
For young couples and families who want to explore all the beauty that Bali has to offer, Club Med Bali offers its guests a truly hassle-free holiday, where everything is taken care of from a host of fun activities to superb food, drinks and snacks and childcare services at the Mini Club at no additional cost, leaving holidaymakers plenty of time and opportunities to reconnect with their loved one at Club Med. Because that is how Club Med envisions the holiday experience: creating an environment for guests that lets them discover and experience those moments of happiness that light up their lives and create lifelong memories.
