adventure to have fun with supervised sports and entertainment activities
Club Med’s circus school and trapeze experience is a huge hit with kids. Managed by experienced G.O's, kids are turned into performing stars overnight by building their confidence and agility step-by-step. Kids also learn how to properly jump on a trampoline walk on tightropes, juggle, and many other tricks from the Big Top. And for the child in every adult - don’t be shy, you can join the circus too… but you will have to wait in line!
DINING
Every time you sit down to a meal at a Club Med resort, you’ll find inviting choices on the menu. A superb grilled selection with the finest cuts, European favourites including exquisite desserts, ethnic choices to explore new spices, and even a selection of light choices for the health-conscious! Tantalizing tastes from around the world are featured in the restaurants – including Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Indian, Italian and exotic specialities of the country in which you are staying.
Most of the Club Med resorts also have specialty restaurants, so you can discover the local flavours on the menu, in a more intimate setting.
