Holidays with Babies & Toddlers: What’s Included for Under 4s

For children aged 0 to 2, the Baby Welcome kit is waiting in your room when you check in, with a cot, a baby bathtub, a changing mat and a bottle warmer. For children aged 2 to 3, the Kids Welcome kit provides a step stool and a potty, with a bed rail on request. Just let us know what you need when you book so it is ready and waiting.

Baby Welcome and Kids Welcome kits are included in your all-inclusive package at resorts with a Baby Club Med or Petit Club Med.

Depending on the resort, several facilities may be available to help you prepare meals and bottles for your little one.

The Baby Corner is a dedicated area within the main restaurant offering baby food and useful equipment such as a blender, bottle warmer and microwave.

Some resorts also have a Baby Restaurant, where babies and toddlers can enjoy meals with their parents or their children’s club group.

Biberonneries, or bottle rooms, provide equipment for preparing bottles and baby food and are generally accessible 24 hours a day. Facilities may include a steriliser, bottle warmer, microwave, water and baby food.

Changing facilities are available in the resort's common areas 24 hours a day. Prams are available at reception at no charge, and baby carriers are provided at our summer mountain resorts. In the restaurants you will find family dining areas with large tables, highchairs and booster seats. One thing worth packing: nappies are not provided by our clubs, although our boutiques usually stock emergency supplies. Explore all the handy services and equipment we provide for families.

At Baby Club Med, babies are welcomed into a calm, dedicated environment by G.Os who specialise in early childhood.

Activities are adapted to each child’s age and daily rhythm and may include sensory games, nursery rhymes, music, Baby Gym, outdoor walks, naps and feeding times. At mealtimes, babies can eat with their G.Os and new friends or with their parents.

Baby Club Med is available at an extra cost and is not included in your all-inclusive package. Available at selected resorts only.

At Petit Club Med, toddlers can enjoy a programme of age-appropriate sports, arts and crafts, dressing-up activities, games and Baby Gym, balanced with quieter activities and rest time.

Meals are adapted to young children’s nutritional needs. Depending on the resort, children may eat at the Baby Restaurant with their parents or their Petit Club Med group.

Petit Club Med is available at an extra cost and is not included in your all-inclusive package. Available at selected resorts only.

At selected resorts with a Baby Club Med, Pyjamas Club runs in the evening so you can enjoy dinner at your own pace. Little ones settle in with soothing games, nursery rhymes and bedtime stories, cared for by G.Os trained in early childhood. If you would prefer one-to-one care, personalised babysitting can also be arranged.

Pyjamas Club and babysitting services are available at an extra cost.

Places at Baby Club Med and Petit Club Med are limited, so we recommend booking early.

Where Easy Arrival is available, you may be able to complete your children’s club registration online through your Club Med account before travelling. On-site bookings or bookings for individual days may also be possible, subject to the resort’s arrangements and remaining availability.

For the best chance of securing a place, add childcare when making your holiday booking.

Our sun resorts with a Baby Club Med welcome children from 4 months, with Petit Club Med for 2 and 3 year olds at the same resorts. In Asia you will find both at Bali, Phuket, Bintan Island, Cherating Beach and Borneo. Baby Club Med is also available at a number of our resorts in the Caribbean, Mexico and Mauritius.

Our Hokkaido resorts welcome children into Petit Club Med from 2 years old. Tomamu, Sahoro and Kiroro Grand all offer childcare and activities for little ones, so you can get out on the snow knowing they are happily occupied. Please note our Japan ski resorts do not have a Baby Club Med, so childcare is available from 2 years old. Availability may vary by resort and season, so we would recommend to check the relevant resort page for your travel dates.

A few of our resorts set a minimum age. Club Med Kani in the Maldives welcomes guests from 6 months, with a free Toddler Playroom, a Baby Corner and family activities for little ones, though it does not have a Baby Club Med or Petit Club Med. Club Med Kiroro Peak welcomes guests from 12 years old. Always check the resort page before you book.

The G.Os who care for children at Baby Club Med, Petit Club Med and Mini Club Med are qualified and experienced in working with the relevant age groups.

Quality standards govern the care of children under 6, including strict limits on the number of children per G.O, and no exceptions are made to go above that limit. A G.O is never left alone with a group and is supported by others whenever needed.

A liaison booklet keeps you in the loop with a record of meals, nappy changes, naps and your child's arrival and departure times, so you know exactly how their day went. Children attending the clubs also wear an identifying wristband while in Club Med’s care.
