Club Med Gregolimano

I was incredibly fortunate to be invited to experience Club Med Gregolimano for myself, giving me invaluable first-hand experience of this magnificent resort, as well as an introduction to the Club Med spirit.

Location

Club Med Gregolimano boasts an exceptional location on the island of Evia, Greece's second-largest island, just a short boat ride from mainland Greece. On arrival to Athens airport, we were transferred by coach (approx 2 hours) and a short boat trip to the island. I immediately fell in love with this beautiful location. The sun shone on the water, which was crystal clear. An uncrowded private beach stretched on in the distance and a pine forest and mountain provided a stunning back drop. A number of jetties and beach hut hinted at the range of watersports here. I was eager to explore and to see what this resort offered for my clients.

Activities

The resort offers the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure for guests of all ages. Each Club Med resort includes a range of activities that cater to both beginners and seasoned athletes, with a team of expert instructors. Some resorts like Club Med Gregolimano offer the best jet skiing, whilst others have their very own trapeze! I can see that Club Med Gregolimano would be great fun for all, including families, and whilst it is very chilled, there is a lovely vibe and so much to do. The sports activities on offer are second to none. There are opportunities for parents and children to do activities together (family tennis tournaments etc.), which is a lovely touch.

Over the following number of days I took part in a padel lesson, a tennis tournament, a sailing lesson plus a pilates class. Jo Wilfred Tsonga was hosting tennis activities that week. The water here is very calm and the perfect location for water sports. I unfortunately did not get to experience stand up paddle boarding or jet skiing as time did not permit. There were aqua aerobics classes in the main pool and people of all ages doing dance lessons. Archery, cycling, fitness classes, yoga etc. are also scheduled, so there is something for everyone. I found the staff were all really friendly and engaging.

At night, the fun was amplified. There was a DJ and the dance floor was full until after midnight.

There are optional day trips, including open top jeep tours, tours to Athens or boat trips. We took a boat trip and stopped for a swim. On the way back we had a wander around a local village. There is also a desk at the hotel where you can hire a car to explore the area independently.

A Relaxing Experience for Adults

There is a zen pool if you prefer to relax and read a book or just chill. You can unwind with a treatment at the spa. It has a beautiful garden with plus loungers to relax afterwards. Along the beach you will find sun loungers and plenty of space. At the beach bar there are bean bags and a DJ plays chilled music at sunset. It was a great place to have a cocktail and socialise before going for dinner.

Children’s and Teen Clubs

Club Med is very inclusive for guests of all ages. This brand is known for its excellent children’s facilities. From babies to teenagers, every member of the family can enjoy their holiday in their own unique way. At Club Med Gregolimano the childrens area is expansive, like a mini village and in a beautiful setting.

The Petit Club Med (for children aged 2-4) offers a safe and stimulating environment where the youngest guests can engage in age-appropriate activities like arts and crafts, storytelling, and outdoor adventures.

For older children, the Mini Club Med (4 years +) offers a wide variety of activities that cater to different interests, from sports and games to cultural exploration and nature activities. These clubs provide children with the opportunity to make new friends while parents enjoy some downtime, knowing their little ones are having the time of their lives in a safe and supervised environment.

For tweens and teens, the Teens Club Med (11 -13 years) and Chill Pass Club Med (14 - 17 years), offer a wide range of recreational, artistic and social activities to choose from. The resort organizes special events, beach parties, and sports tournaments designed to give teens the freedom to enjoy themselves in a laid-back atmosphere.

Dining

Club Med usually have 2 restaurants to choose from (some resorts have another gourmet option). The Main Restaurant offers live cooking stations and an international menu with fresh, local ingredients. The culinary team focuses on providing high-quality meals that are both nutritious and indulgent. La Gourmandise is the resort’s gourmet a la carte restaurant, where guests can enjoy a more refined dining experience with Mediterranean-inspired dishes, again made from local ingredients.

The food was really good. The standard and offerings each day was fantastic. There was always something different to choose. It is clear that love and care has gone into the preparation of the food and that it was all made fresh, using local ingredients. The Greek salads and foods were lovely. The a la carte restaurant is also open during the day for brunch/lunch with stunning sea views.

Accommodation

Club Med Gregolimano has three different accommodation areas: The main hotel (where I stayed) with a balcony and sea view. The Olympe Quarter which comprises a cluster of small buildings dotted throughout the resort, some only steps from the sea. And the Pine Grove. The new villas are fabulous. NOTE: Family rooms are available which are interconnected.
