Club Med, the all-inclusive resort brand offering beach and ski vacations across the globe, celebrated the opening of its latest resort, the Club Med Kiroro Grand, located in Hokkaido, Japan on December 1, 2023.
The premium resort is located in northern Japan, in the region that is famous for its 160-day winter and record-breaking snowfall totals.
Club Med Kiroro Grand offers 266 rooms, all designed with an alpine style inspired by the natural world. The resort features access to 23 courses across the Asari and Nagamine mountains, with skiing and snowboarding lessons available for all skill levels.

The resort features the brand’s first-ever traditional Japanese onsen, a hot spring, which is part of the resort’s wellness offerings. Also available is the resort’s full-service spa.
Two dining concepts are available at no extra cost, including The Ogon, a hot pot restaurant, and Yoichi, which offers an array of international foods. For an additional price, travelers can enjoy sushi at The Ebisu and yakiniku grilling at The Kaen.

"The success of Club Med Kiroro Peak last winter season was remarkable, and we expect no less from Club Med Kiroro Grand, particularly with our signature family offerings,” said Rachael Harding, CEO of Club Med East, South Asia and Pacific. “We started this winter season at a very high occupancy with festive weeks and most of January already at capacity before the doors officially opened.”
“We look forward to delighting our guests as they immerse themselves in the breathtaking panoramas and pristine powder snow slopes while exploring the rich beauty of the region and Japanese culture,” Harding continued. “With the addition of Club Med Kiroro Grand, our array of destinations is enriched, offering yet another exceptional experience to suit every traveler’s holiday preference."
The Club Med Kiroro Grand’s opening was announced back in July, 2023 along with other important announcements about the brand. It is Club Med's twentieth ski resort.
