Club Med named in TIME100 Most Influential Companies of 2026

Club Med has been named in the prestigious TIME100 Most Influential Companies of 2026 list in the Innovators category, with the company recognised for its role in reshaping the all-inclusive travel sector into a premium global offering spanning sun, ski and adventure destinations.

Club Med South Africa

In its profile, TIME highlighted the brand’s continued transformation under the leadership of Carolyne Doyon, President and CEO of Club Med North America and the Caribbean, and its focus on delivering “an experience people can’t easily put together on their own.”

To assemble the lists, TIME solicited nominations across sectors, and polled its global network of contributors and correspondents, as well as outside experts. Then TIME editors evaluated each on key factors, including impact, innovation, ambition, and success. The result is a diverse group of 200 companies shaping global business, one industry at a time.

The recognition comes amid a major period of growth for Club Med, following the recent announcement of a new resort in Koh Samui and an expanding pipeline of destinations set to launch from 2026 onwards, including the brand’s first-ever beach and safari concept in South Africa, alongside Borneo before the end of the year.

Nicolas Bresch, Managing Director, UK, Ireland & Nordics at Club Med commented, “This recognition from TIME is an incredible honour for Club Med and a testament to how far the brand has evolved. To be recognised in the Innovators category – and as the only hotel and resort provider included – reflects our continued ambition to redefine what all-inclusive travel can be for today’s traveller. From premium beach escapes to world-class mountain resorts and new adventure concepts, we’ve focused on creating seamless experiences that guests simply can’t replicate on their own. As Club Med continues to expand globally, this recognition reinforces the strength of our vision, our teams and the enduring relevance of the Club Med brand more than 75 years after it was founded.”
