If you are pining for a well-deserved break from Britain’s frosty weather, but at a price that won’t send a chill through your bank balance, then holiday provider Club Med may have the answer.

Club Med is famous for its all-inclusive resorts, offering child-care, sporting activities, fine wine, cuisine and relaxation all in one package. The company is more than 50 years old, and in recent years it has increased the number of luxurious resorts in its portfolio aimed at discerning holidaymakers who want pampering without a high price.

There are 14 resorts showcased in the Club Med Luxury Collections, including the five star Trident La Plantation d’Albion in Mauritius, which opened in 2007, and the boutique-style Marrakech le Riad in Morocco, which offers 60 garden rooms and suites. Family resorts are also included in the collection, such as Le Pointe aux Canonniers in Mauritius, which re-opened in December 2008 following refurbishments and upgrades.

A key attraction of Club Med is the predictability of cost. All inclusive packages include return flights and transfers, accommodation, full board including wine and beer, sports, and leisure facilities. Water sports, golf and tennis are favourite Club Med activities. So if you’re one of the many travellers who found themselves at the mercy of the fluctuating exchange rates this Christmas and New Year, then Club Med’s all inclusive packages offer peace of mind with inflation–proof breaks.

And if you need an added incentive, the operator is running early booking promotions, aimed at making long haul luxury a viable proposition. For example, if you book before the 28th February you could save up to £600 on a family holiday in Punta Cana, Cancún Yucatán or Mauritius. For short haul breaks – there are Club Med resorts all over Europe, including Sicily, Italy and Turkey – you could save up to £450 on a family holiday.

Family holidays are a key selling point of Club Med’s offerings this year, with 46 resorts welcoming families. Activities and children’s clubs are a big draw at many resorts, including Kamarina, in Sicily where there are children’s clubs for all ages from two years upwards and activities include sailing, a flying trapeze and a circus school.

But if you’re enjoying the cold weather, you may be feeling the urge to get out on the slopes. Avoid the misery caused by the strong Euro by booking a ski deal at one of Club Med’s alpine resorts. Pick from skiing, snowboarding or cross-country skiing, and if you’re a beginner many resorts offer inclusive ski classes and ski passes as well, making it a one-stop winter holiday. There are 20 Alpine resorts, and with deals including flights, ski passes and classes starting from £699 per person, Club Med offers travellers a great way to enjoy a holiday without worrying about the price.
