For the next 60 days only, Club Med is offering a fantastic deal of 60 per cent off the second person’s booking, which means prices are now closer to what was on offer in the 1960s.

The first Club Med resort opened in 1950 on the Spanish resort island of Mallorca. Back then accommodation was simple sand huts, and the club’s basic philosophy was that a single fee should entitle you to a holiday, with no hidden extras.

Club Med has retained the simple philosophy and now boasts over 80 destinations in idyllic locations worldwide where guests and conference delegates alike can dream, be pampered and enjoy a premium resort experience.

On the back of some major developments in 2009, including extensive renovations at popular conference hotel Club Med Bali, 2010 is set to be a big year with further enhancements at existing properties and the opening of new ones.

Cherating Beach in Malaysia will be the first Club Med to introduce the Eco Nature Resort, while Kani is introducing a dedicated 5-Trident space. This unique space will meet the special demands of very exclusive guests who enjoy luxury, personal service, premium amenities, quiet and privacy while still enjoying the spirit of a Club Med conference.

Bintan Island is set to show off a brand new spa, while Club Med’s first Chinese Resort in Yabuli opens in the winter of 2010.

Located in the north east of China, Yabuli is the country’s leading ski resort and will certainly delight the growing number of international guests who have taken up skiing.
