Singapore – Club Med is giving travellers a rare glimpse behind the scenes of its global operations with the launch of Dream Makers – Creators of Happiness, a four-part documentary series that explores the people, decisions and innovation behind its premium all-inclusive holiday experiences.
Produced by Mediawan Brand Studio and now available on YouTube, the series follows the individuals responsible for shaping the Club Med experience, from aspiring resort leaders competing for one of the company’s most coveted roles to the teams tasked with building, transforming and managing destinations around the world.
Spanning six destinations across four 30-minute episodes, Dream Makers aims to showcase the craftsmanship and operational complexity involved in delivering what Club Med describes as effortless holidays.
For travellers in Asia, the documentary arrives at a pivotal moment as Club Med accelerates investment across the region with new openings, major renovations and resort upgrades stretching from South Africa to Thailand.
“Dream Makers offers a glimpse into the care, creativity and intention behind every Club Med experience,” said Rachael Harding, CEO for East, South Asia and Pacific at Club Med.
“At its heart, this documentary reflects our belief that a truly memorable holiday is thoughtfully crafted, shaped by people who are deeply passionate about what they do. From South Africa to Bintan, and from Borneo to Koh Samui, each resort is brought to life with purpose, so that every stay feels both effortless and extraordinary.”
Written and directed by Aurélie Condou, the series follows several high-stakes projects across Club Med’s network.
In one episode, viewers witness the rebuilding of Club Med Punta Cana following a fire, with teams racing to reconstruct the resort within 10 months.
Another follows the creation of Club Med South Africa, where a resort manager must build an entire team and culture before the destination even opens its doors.
The documentary also takes audiences to Oman, where architects and developers pitch plans for a future resort, while a group of aspiring Chefs de Village undergo intensive assessments to prove they are ready to lead a Club Med property.
The final episode focuses on the company’s future growth strategy and includes the announcement of Club Med Exclusive Collection Koh Samui, a luxury beachfront resort in Thailand scheduled to open in 2028.
The documentary launch coincides with a significant expansion phase for Club Med across Asia-Pacific and beyond.
Among the developments highlighted is Club Med South Africa Beach & Safari, opening in July 2026. Located on KwaZulu-Natal’s Dolphin Coast, the property combines a beachfront resort with access to the 18,000-hectare Mpilo Safari Lodge, offering guests both coastal and safari experiences.
Closer to Singapore, Club Med Bintan is undergoing an extensive transformation centred on the launch of Asia’s first Amazing Family Hub. The 300-square-metre facility, opening in July 2026, will feature family-focused play zones, workshops and entertainment spaces designed for multigenerational travel.
Meanwhile, Club Med Borneo is set to open in November 2026 on a 17-hectare beachfront site in Sabah, marking the brand’s first property in the destination. The resort will feature 400 rooms and sustainability-focused design inspired by local Rungus longhouses.
In the Maldives, Club Med Kani will unveil newly redesigned Exclusive Collection overwater suites from December 2026, while Club Med Phuket is introducing the Lai Thai Family Oasis, the brand’s first Family Oasis concept in Asia-Pacific.
The company’s future pipeline also includes the 303-room Club Med Exclusive Collection Koh Samui, developed in partnership with Central Group and expected to welcome guests in the second half of 2028.
Through Dream Makers, Club Med appears to be doing more than promoting its destinations.
The documentary positions the brand’s people, culture and operational expertise as central components of the holiday experience itself, giving travellers a deeper understanding of what goes into creating the seamless escapes they see at check-in.
