Whether you're holidaying with friends or family, Club Med La Palmyre Atlantique, in France's Charente Maritime region, is just what you're looking for. Bungalows blending in beautifully with the Resort's environment welcome you for an all-inclusive stay, with a host of activities including golf, tennis, sailing and mountain biking.
The Club Med La Palmyre Resort emerges from La Coubre Forest, a huge pine forest with dunes washed by the waves of the Atlantic Ocean at the gateway to a land rich in treasures of every sort: the Charentais vineyards, oyster beds and the salt marshes of the Île d'Oléron and some of France's most beautiful towns and villages such as Mornac-sur-Seudre and Talmont sur Gironde. Foodies are in seventh heaven here: the land and sea come together to offer an incomparable culinary experience. The fifties-style charm of Royan and the unspoilt Côte Sauvage coastline of La Palmyre create a typically French seaside ambiance. In the distance is the Phare de Cordouan, the last French open sea lighthouse to be open to the public.

Written by: Tour48320194457 - La Palmyre-Les Mathes, France - July 13, 2025Great facilities and location, but expensive if you don't take advantage of the activities on offer
Positives: - La Palmyre is lovely and Club Med is directly on the beach. Plus it is a short walk to the amazing La Palmyre Zoo and to the village - The quality and variety of the food is excellent - There is loads of do onsite, including tennis, football, table tennis, the gym, swimming etc. I can't imagine anyone being bored here - I was very happy to discover that they had free EV charging, although the chargers were very slow so you needed plenty of time to recharge your battery Negatives: - I had food poisoning on my last day. I had noticed that the food that they put outside every day tended to attract quite a bit of wildlife and the staff were forever trying to frighten the birds away from eating it. I suspect I got food poisoning from the food that had been left outside too long - Arriving at our accommodation, our first impression was very negative. Our building looked nothing like the accommodation on their website, which I suppose was the most expensive option. What we got was something resembling a toilet block, and to be honest if this had been shown when booking, I probably would not have booked. I took a picture to show people and everyone I have shown has been quite shocked given the prices. However, inside it was fine and the air conditioning was a life saver - The availability of drinks at the bar is quite poor. There always seemed to be a queue and when you did get a drink it was normally served in a small glass meaning that you had to go up frequently or just ask for 2 drinks every time. We got to the point where we wanted an actual shop on site that sold bottles of pop and snacks because it was annoying to have to queue to get a simple drink - I think unless you take advantage of all the free sports and activities, Club Med is very expensive compared to other all inclusives you can go to. For us, it wasn't worth the price and we probably wouldn't go back

Great food, but no GO vibe
I’m actually writing this while still at Club Med La Palmyre Atlantique, surrounded by lovely scenery. We’re here with three families to celebrate my mother’s 80th birthday. Let me start with the positives. The all-inclusive setup is fantastic for a large family group. It really reduces the stress of coordinating meals or activities—especially with kids. They’ve had plenty to do here, which has given the parents time to relax. The buffet food has been excellent, with great variety and quality. That part of Club Med always delivers. I also want to say I’m not new to Club Med. I had a wonderful experience previously at a ski resort in Japan. There, the GOs were incredibly attentive, dining with guests every night, making us feel welcome, part of a community, and really bringing the Club Med spirit alive. That experience is why I decided to bring my entire family here this time. But unfortunately, this trip has been let down by the lack of that Club Med warmth. Over six nights, not one GO approached our group at dinner. Even though I missed the party last night because I was spending time with my family, I really hoped we’d have that chance to connect at meals—the most classic, advertised Club Med interaction. Instead, it felt cold, impersonal, and not what we expected when paying around £1000 per person for six days. I also need to mention La Belle Époque, the gourmet restaurant. While the food itself was good, the GO staff there were patronising, rude, and frankly lazy. It turned what should have been a special, highlight dinner into an uncomfortable experience. We shared our feedback at checkout and received an apology, which I appreciated. But this trip was meant to create special memories for my mother’s 80th birthday, and in this key aspect, it simply fell short. Overall, I do recommend Club Med for its excellent food, lovely settings, great kids’ activities, and stress-free environment. But I sincerely hope this village’s team can work on delivering the warm, inclusive, social atmosphere that truly defines Club Med at its best.
