IN 1950, water polo player Gérard Blitz conceived of the first ‘all-inclusive resort’ — an escape offering reconnection, rejuvenation, and rediscovery in a weary post-war world. Together with Gilbert Trigano, he brought that vision to life with a village of tents on a beach in Majorca, marking the start of Club Med’s 74-year legacy.
With conviviality and sports at its core, the Club Med concept and brand quickly grew beyond the Mediterranean. Locations across continents, from the Swiss Alps to the Caribbean were established, including Pahang’s Club Med Cherating which opened in 1979 as its first property in Asia.
