Glossary of key terms
Speak the Club Med
Unique terms for a memorable experience.
Great Members, Village, Chief of Village... are terms you will encounter often and only at Club Med.
For you to live intensely your Club Med experience upon arrival, discover the terms that will soon be part of your holidays. We have created a unique language, to match your every mood.
VILLAGE
"Village" is what we sometimes call our resorts, because they're so private, safe, and intimate - and also due to the sense of community and family among our guests.
CHEF DE VILLAGE
The Chief of Village is the resort manager who oversees the on-site team and day-to-day affairs of the resort.
G.O.'s
Our staff, the GRACIOUS ORGANIZERS
GO is what we call our on-site resort team (and by extension all Club Med employees).
They will keep you entertained with exciting programs, activities, and events. They're sometimes referred to as "the heart and soul of the Club Med experience".
GREAT MEMBERS
Our guests or G.M.'s - That's YOU!
The term "G.M." is loosely translated from the original French as "Genteel Members" but we more commonly use the term "Great Members" aka GM's to refer to our guests.
CRAZY SIGNS
Our choreographed dance numbers that are easy to learn, and fun for everyone to participate in. They're a unique part of Club Med's festive spirit that happens at various times of the day - around the pool after lunch, after the evening show... Just ask a G.O. to teach you!
THEME NIGHTS
Invite G.M.'s to mirror the special dress codes that our G.O.'s wear to our evening entertainment and parties. It's entirely up to you, but it's definitely a fun way to share the Club Med spirit with G.O.'s.
PREMIUM ALL-INCLUSIVE
To help you unwind and reconnect, we invented the all-inclusive concept, a package that includes all the necessary ingredients for a dream holiday.
Transport, transfer, accommodation, delicious meals, activities, but also a complete range of personalized services for you and the children. No stress. No constraints. Just happiness of renewed spontaneity.
That's l'Esprit Libre !
CLUB MED PASS
Thanks to the Club Med resort digital bracelet, which in most resorts is also your room key, your purchases made in the resort are easy!
As you arrive, just remember to pick it up and activate at the reception to enjoy your experience from the beginning of the holidays. All on-location expenses on your account, one simple step to pay before departure.
