Dreaming of a family holiday? How does a week-long trip to the Dominican Republic’s lush palm groves – at a premium all-inclusive retreat from Club Med sound? We’re giving readers the opportunity to win seven nights away with the whole family.
The winning family (two adults and up to two children) will fly from the UK to the Dominican Republic and check into Club Med Miches Playa Esmeralda. Michès is a gorgeous area of this Caribbean country, set on the northeast coast, known for its waterfalls, protected beaches, azure bays and beautiful mountains.
The resort comprises four distinct villages, although the winner and their family will be staying at Explorer Cove. Explorer Cove is the place for families – here, there are kids’ clubs for little travellers (from 4 months to 17 years old), a family pool, family suites and even a secret chocolate room to hunt for. Caribbean Paradise is the spot for gym bunnies and active families, Emerald Jungle is the zone to head to for grown-up wellness (think treetop yoga and spa treatments), while Archipelago is a sophisticated adult-only retreat, perfect for checking out while the kids are taking on archery, tennis or even trapeze lessons at the kids’ club.
The winner and their family will be thoroughly pampered by the services available at the resort. Think in-the-know concierge, on-demand room service, shuttles to whisk you around seamlessly, private check-in and even packing services.
Club Med Miches Playa Esmeralda is a premium all-inclusive resort where your meals, snacks and drinks – from wake-up coffee to seafood lunches to pre-supper drinks – are taken care of. There are four gourmet restaurants to choose from. Cacao & Co is a family-friendly spot (remember that chocolate room we mentioned earlier?), while Cayuco has both an adult-only dining room and vibrant spaces for the whole gang. Coco Plum Beach Lounge, meanwhile, has widescreen views of the ocean. Plus, there’s a coffee shop, and a handful of bars (don’t miss the included glass of Champagne each night at 6pm). There’s entertainment throughout the day and evening, too.
Days are spent hanging out by one of the four swimming pools, swimming in the sea or taking part in excursions* such as touring the 16th-century town of Santo Domingo, canyoning across waterfalls, hiking in the nearby national park and more. Club Med Miches Playa Esmeralda is an eco-thinking resort which plays out in flora and fauna you’ll see across the retreat, as well as the various animals at the protected bays and islands during your stay – plus, the team are committed to supporting the local community, which means much of the produce you eat and activities you take will be authentically provided by those who call this beautiful corner of the world home.
Return economy flights for two adults and two children are also included in the prize. Excursions are at an additional cost to the winners. Selected food and beverage options on a la carte menus not part of the premium all-inclusive package at the resort are at personal expense.
