Club Med: A Major Player in the Development of the Economy and Tourism in the Dominican Republic
Club Med has regularly invested in the Dominican Republic since 1980, when Club Med opened its first resort in the region on a pristine site in Punta Cana. The resort underwent three phases of renovations in 2008, 2015 and 2019.
The resort reinforces the historic partnership with local partners and contributes to the Dominican economy. With Club Med Punta Cana, these two resorts enhance the island's appeal to international travellers and aid in the development of the Dominican Republic.
As an unspoiled paradise hidden in the heart of a Dominican palm grove, Club Med Michès Playa Esmeralda offers an exceptional year-round setting with lush, tropical vibes and warm weather.
The resort, perfectly integrated into its environment with a low-density design, offers guests a sense of intimacy and personalization due to an original architectural concept that seamlessly blends four boutique villages together within the resort:
