Glossary of Terms
Speak Club Med
A unique language for a memorable experience. Great Members, Village, Chief of Village... these are just some of the terms you will encounter often and only at Club Med. For you to truly embrace your Club Med experience upon arrival, discover the words that will soon be part of your daily life. We have created a unique language, to match your every mood.
"Village"
"Village" is what we sometimes call our resorts because they're so private, safe, and intimate - as well as the sense of community and family among our guests.
"Chief of Village"
The "Chief of village" is the resort manager who oversees the on-site team and day-to-day affairs of the resort.
"Great Members"
The term"G.M." is loosely translated from the original French as "Genteel Members" but we more commonly us the term "Great Members" to refer to our guests.
"Gracious Organisers"
Or G.O.'s - is what we call our on-site resort team.
They will keep you entertained with exciting programs, activities, and events. They're sometimes called "the heart and soul of the Club Med experience".
"Crazy Signs"
These are choreographed dance movements that are easy to learn and fun for everyone. They're a unique part of Club Med's festive spirit that you may participate in. Just ask a G.O. to teach you!
"Theme Nights"
Every night is a themed night in the resort. We invite G.M.'s to mirror the special dress codes that our G.O.'s wear to our evening entertainment and parties. It's entirely up to you, but it's definitely a fun way to share the Club Med spirit with G.O.'s. Find out the themes before you travel via the Club Med App.
