Club Med adds month-long Wellness Fusion retreat with pickleball options

Club Med announced an expanded Wellness Fusion program at its Michès Playa Esmeralda resort and will host an inaugural Wellness Fusion Retreat running Jan 18 through Feb 14, 2026. The month-long, chef-and-expert-led series is built for guests who want to blend active play with restorative practices while staying at the all-inclusive property.

The retreat will feature more than 20 international wellness practitioners and a full slate of movement and mindfulness sessions. Programming will include yoga led by the resort’s Yoga Ambassador Jonah Kest, sound baths, breathwork and a range of spa treatments. Healthy culinary programming is woven into the schedule so guests can pair classes and therapies with purpose-driven meals prepared on site.

Guests will be able to pick and choose activities at their own pace. The resort positions the offering as a personalized retreat experience where visitors create a mix of fitness, relaxation and learning across a broad activity roster. Land-sport options are listed alongside experiential offerings such as archery and treetop yoga, and pickleball is called out as one of the accessible on-property sports guests can add into their retreat schedule.

For the pickleball community this arrangement delivers practical value: you can keep court time in your itinerary while accessing breathwork, yoga and recovery treatments that support performance and longevity. Adding a few dinks and drills between mornings of mobility work and afternoon spa sessions makes cross-training convenient, especially at an all-inclusive property where equipment, instruction and meals are centralized.

The announcement also promoted a limited-time discount for travel through June 19, 2026, giving players and wellness seekers a window to lock in travel plans at reduced rates. Booking information is available through the resort’s reservations channels for those ready to plan trips around the retreat dates.

This initiative reflects a growing trend of resorts packaging sport-specific access with wellbeing programming so guests can combine play and recovery without sacrificing either. For players who want to travel with purpose, the Michès Playa Esmeralda retreat offers a straightforward way to level up fitness, learn from international practitioners and still carve out court time.

Expect this inaugural run to act as a test bed for how pickleball and other active options integrate into longer wellness offerings; if uptake is strong, similar blended retreats may expand in future seasons. Verify availability and the limited-time travel discount as you plan, and consider how a week or more of combined training and recovery could fit into your 2026 calendar.
