If you're planning an all-inclusive vacation, you probably want to know which hotel chain offers the most options. It’s not just about the number of resorts-it’s about where they are, what’s included, and whether they actually deliver on the promise of hassle-free relaxation. The answer isn’t as simple as picking the biggest name, but one chain stands out clearly: Club Med.
Club Med Leads with Over 70 All-Inclusive Resorts Worldwide
As of early 2026, Club Med operates 73 all-inclusive resorts across 26 countries. That’s more than any other single brand in the world. Their resorts stretch from the Caribbean and Mexico to the Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, and even the French Alps. Unlike many competitors that mix all-inclusive with à la carte options, Club Med has built its entire business model around full-package stays. Meals, drinks (including premium alcohol), activities, kids’ clubs, and nightly entertainment are all included in the price.
They don’t just have more resorts-they have more variety. You can find beachfront properties in the Dominican Republic, mountain resorts in the Pyrenees, and even desert escapes in Morocco. Each one follows the same formula: no hidden fees, no surprise charges for snorkeling or salsa classes, and no need to carry cash unless you want to buy souvenirs.
How Other Major Chains Compare
Other big names in all-inclusive travel are close behind, but none match Club Med’s scale. Here’s how they stack up:
| Brand | Number of Resorts | Primary Regions | Key Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Club Med | 73 | Caribbean, Mexico, Mediterranean, Asia, Europe | Full board, unlimited drinks, activities, kids’ clubs, nightly shows |
| AMResorts (Now part of Marriott) | 58 | Mexico, Caribbean, Costa Rica | Luxury branding, premium bars, butler service at top tiers |
| Hyatt All-Inclusive (Ziva, Zilara) | 19 | Mexico, Jamaica, Dominican Republic | Modern design, adult-only options, premium liquor included |
| Beaches Resorts (owned by Sandals) | 8 | Jamaica, Turks & Caicos | Family-focused, Sesame Street characters, water parks |
| Sandals Resorts | 17 | Jamaica, Bahamas, St. Lucia, Barbados | Adults-only, butler service, premium wine and spirits |
| Travel + Leisure Top All-Inclusives (multi-brand) | Varies | Global | Not a chain-just curated picks from multiple brands |
AMResorts, which includes brands like Secrets, Now, and Dreams, comes in second with 58 resorts. But many of these are newer, high-end properties focused on couples or luxury travelers. They offer more premium inclusions-like top-shelf liquor and private beach areas-but they don’t have the same global footprint.
Hyatt’s Ziva and Zilara brands are growing fast, especially with younger travelers who want modern design and Instagram-worthy pools. But with only 19 resorts, they’re still a niche player. Sandals and Beaches are huge in the Caribbean, but they’re limited to just a handful of islands. If you want an all-inclusive in Bali, Turkey, or the Canary Islands, Club Med is your only real option among the big names.
Why Club Med’s Model Works So Well
Club Med didn’t just build resorts-they built experiences. Their “G.O.s” (Gentle Organizers) aren’t just staff-they’re entertainers, instructors, and guides rolled into one. You’ll find them leading morning yoga on the beach, teaching you how to windsurf, or hosting trivia nights under the stars. There’s no tipping, no waiting for service, and no pressure to spend extra.
They also handle the logistics. Flights aren’t included, but they partner with airlines to offer package deals. Airport transfers are arranged. Even the kids’ clubs are staffed with certified childcare professionals who speak multiple languages. Parents can relax knowing their kids are safe, engaged, and having fun-without having to plan a single activity.
For solo travelers, Club Med is one of the few all-inclusive brands that actively encourages socializing. Group dinners, shared excursions, and themed nights make it easy to meet people. Many guests come alone and leave with new friends.
What You Won’t Find at Club Med
It’s not perfect. If you’re looking for ultra-luxury-think private villas with infinity pools, 24/7 butlers, or Michelin-starred dining-Club Med won’t deliver. Their focus is on fun, not opulence. The rooms are clean and comfortable, but not extravagant. You won’t find marble bathrooms or designer linens.
Also, the vibe is very family-friendly and social. If you want total silence, privacy, or a quiet romantic getaway, you might find the constant activity overwhelming. Sandals or Secrets might be better for couples seeking romance without kids running around.
Real Traveler Experiences
Travelers who’ve stayed at multiple all-inclusive chains say Club Med stands out for consistency. One couple from Toronto who’ve visited 12 all-inclusive resorts in the last five years said: “We’ve stayed at Sandals, Hyatt, and even a few Secrets properties. But Club Med is the only one where we didn’t feel like we were paying extra for everything. Even the snorkeling gear was free, and we didn’t have to book activities a week in advance.”
Another parent from Chicago shared: “My 8-year-old came home talking about the circus show and the ice cream bar. He didn’t ask for his tablet once. We didn’t have to lift a finger to keep him busy. That’s priceless.”
Is Club Med the Right Choice for You?
Choose Club Med if you want:
- The most resort options in the most destinations
- A wide range of activities without extra fees
- A social, family-friendly atmosphere
- Consistency across locations
- Value for money without hidden costs
Choose something else if you prefer:
- Luxury amenities like private pools or butlers
- Quiet, romantic settings without kids
- High-end dining experiences
- Resorts that feel more like boutique hotels
There’s no single ‘best’ all-inclusive brand-it depends on what you’re looking for. But if you want the most choices, the widest reach, and the most consistent experience across continents, Club Med is the clear leader.
Where to Book and When to Go
Club Med releases new deals every January and July. Booking early gives you the best rates and room selection. Peak season is December to March for Caribbean and Mexican resorts, and June to August for European ones. If you’re flexible, shoulder seasons (April-May and September-October) offer great weather and lower prices.
Use Club Med’s official website to compare resorts by region, activity focus, and price. Avoid third-party sites that claim to offer “exclusive deals”-they rarely do. Club Med’s pricing is transparent, and their cancellation policy is one of the most flexible in the industry.
Are all Club Med resorts truly all-inclusive?
Yes. Every Club Med resort includes meals, unlimited drinks (including premium alcohol), all activities (from yoga to scuba diving), kids’ clubs, and nightly entertainment. The only extras are spa services, airport transfers (unless booked as part of a package), and shopping.
Do Club Med resorts have private beaches?
Most do, but they’re not exclusive. Club Med resorts typically have their own stretch of beach, but it’s shared with other guests. Unlike Sandals or Secrets, you won’t find secluded coves or private cabanas unless you upgrade to a premium room category.
Is Club Med good for couples without kids?
Yes, but not all resorts. Club Med has designated adult-only resorts like Club Med Cancun and Club Med Turkoise in the Caribbean. These are quieter, with fewer children and more evening activities geared toward adults-think wine tastings, live jazz, and sunset cocktails.
How does Club Med compare to Sandals in terms of value?
Sandals is pricier but offers more luxury-private butlers, premium liquor, and upscale dining. Club Med gives you more variety in activities and destinations for a lower price. If you want to ski one day and snorkel the next, Club Med wins. If you want a romantic, high-end Caribbean escape, Sandals is better.
Can I book Club Med without a flight?
Yes. You can book just the resort stay. But many travelers save money by booking a flight + resort package directly through Club Med. They often have deals with major airlines and include free airport transfers.
Next Steps
If you’re ready to book, start by listing your priorities: Do you want a beach, mountains, or a mix? Are you traveling with kids? Do you prefer quiet or lively? Then visit Club Med’s website and filter by region and vibe. Their search tool lets you sort by “family-friendly,” “adults-only,” or “ski-inclusive” resorts. You’ll quickly see why they have more options than anyone else-and why so many people keep coming back.
