Who are we?
Club Med was founded in 1950 on the idea that the purpose of life is to be happy. The place to be happy is here. The moment to be happy is now.

Since then, our mission has been to create moments of happiness every day and share them with our guests, in nearly 70 Premium and Exclusive Collection Resorts located in the most beautiful destinations in the world.

To make this happen, we have something others don't: the Club Med Spirit and our five values, kindness, multiculturalism, responsibility, freedom, and a pioneering spirit.

Today, Club Med is the world leader in premium all-inclusive vacations. We are more than 25,000 Gentle Organizers (G.O) and Gentle Employees (G.E) from over 110 nationalities and cultures, working in Resorts, offices, and agencies across more than 40 countries.

Your work environment
Each resort offers several restaurants and bars, from large event spaces to more intimate dining experiences, all serving our premium all-inclusive concept.

From buffets to plated service, live cooking shows, and numerous festive events, you will have plenty of opportunities to showcase your know-how and creativity while exploring every facet of our culinary world.

Our refined offer is built around five pillars: creating memorable experiences anytime and anywhere throughout the day, surprising guests with a variety of conceptual dining spaces, promoting well-being for all (including your own), stimulating emotions and senses through presentation, and doing it all in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.
