Club Med, the leading name in premium all-inclusive holidays, is inviting travelers to discover a different side of Japan this winter through four distinctive Hokkaido resorts: Club Med Tomamu, Club Med Sahoro, Club Med Kiroro Grand and Club Med Kiroro Peak, each offering its own take on the winter experience, from powder-filled adventure and cultural discovery to family escapes and refined alpine retreats.

Japan has long been a favourite destination for travelers across the region, and Hokkaido offers a compelling way to experience the country from a different perspective. Beyond its renowned powder snow and ski slopes, Japan’s northern island brings together dramatic mountain landscapes, regional gastronomy, indigenous heritage and natural hot springs, creating a winter escape that extends well beyond skiing.
“Premium travel today is increasingly defined by experiences that create lasting memories rather than simply ticking destinations off a list,” said Olivier Monceau, General Manager for Club Med Singapore and Malaysia. “For many travelers, a snow holiday represents an opportunity to step into an entirely different experience, whether that’s waking up to mountain views, enjoying world-renowned powder snow, discovering Japanese cultural traditions or simply slowing down and reconnecting with family and friends. Through our four distinctive resorts in Hokkaido, we offer travelers unique ways to experience Japan’s winter season while enjoying the ease and peace of mind that comes with Club Med’s premium all-inclusive concept.”

For travelers, part of the appeal of a Club Med snow holiday lies in the freedom to simply settle into the experience. With accommodation, ski lift passes, group ski and snowboard lessons, gourmet dining, family activities and more brought together under one premium all-inclusive stay, the practicalities of a winter escape are taken care of, leaving more time to enjoy the mountains, discover the destination and make the most of being away. This ease and flexibility has resonated strongly with travelers across the region, with Club Med recording strong demand for snow holidays in 2025, reflecting the growing appeal of its all-inclusive mountain resorts and winter experiences.
The experience is also recognised by travelers, with Club Med’s Hokkaido resorts earning strong accolades in Tripadvisor’s 2025 Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best rankings. Club Med Tomamu was named No. 1 among Top Hotels in Japan, while Club Med Kiroro Peak and Club
Med Sahoro ranked No. 7 and No. 10 respectively. Tomamu was also ranked No. 3 among Japan’s Luxury Hotels. All four resorts are also Green Globe certified, reflecting Club Med’s ongoing commitment to sustainable tourism, including water and waste management, energy savings and biodiversity protection.
Four Unique Ways to Experience Hokkaido
With four distinctive resorts spread across the island, Club Med gives travelers the chance to experience Hokkaido through different lenses, whether they are chasing adventure, family bonding, cultural immersion or a refined alpine retreat.
Club Med Tomamu Hokkaido: A Playground for Modern Winter Adventures

Set across more than 145 hectares of powder-covered terrain, Club Med Tomamu is Hokkaido’s vibrant winter playground, where adventure meets entertainment. Beyond its slopes, the resort is known for experiences rarely found in traditional ski holidays: guests can explore the nearby Ice Village, take part in weekly cultural festivities, savour Hokkaido’s fresh seafood, premium Wagyu beef and specialty Japanese yakiniku, and even ride Mina Mina Beach, Japan’s largest indoor wave pool, creating an unexpected contrast between tropical fun and a snowy alpine backdrop.
Perfect for families, groups and travelers seeking an energetic atmosphere, Tomamu combines the excitement of winter sports with a lively après-ski culture, complete with nightly circus-style entertainment, making it an ideal introduction to Japan’s snow season.

For travelers seeking a quieter, more intimate winter experience, Club Med Sahoro offers a different side of Hokkaido. Set within an intimate, low-density ski domain, the resort allows guests to enjoy pristine powder away from the crowds while connecting more deeply with the region’s culture and traditions.
Here, guests can delve into the heritage of the indigenous Ainu people through hands-on cultural activities, savour authentic Japanese izakaya-style dining, the resort’s only restaurant of its kind in the Club Med Hokkaido collection, and unwind in an outdoor Canadian bath surrounded by snow-covered mountain scenery. The experience is less about adrenaline and more about the art of slow travel, where cultural immersion, wellness and family connection take centre stage.
Club Med Kiroro Grand: The Ultimate Family Snow Sanctuary

Welcoming guests of all ages, with kids’ facilities from 2 years old, the resort combines adventure and relaxation through its extensive ski-in, ski-out terrain, family-friendly facilities and immersive experiences inspired by Hokkaido’s natural beauty.
The resort’s signature “Enchanted Forest” design concept weaves nature into every corner of the guest journey, while an included traditional Japanese onsen and Rotenburo outdoor hot bath offer moments of tranquillity after a day on the slopes. Dining takes centre stage too, with Japanese-French fusion cuisine at the resort’s Signature buffet, crafted by internationally trained chefs using the best local ingredients.
For families travelling together across multiple generations, Kiroro Grand delivers the balance of adventure, relaxation and togetherness that today’s travelers are looking for.
