Do Less, Get More: Easier Family Travel, Club Med Style

Every parent has one. The trick that gets a toddler through a long flight, the packing hack that saves your sanity, the thing you’ll never travel without again. Club Med’s Do Less, Get More campaign is all about making family holidays easier, from sharing parents’ best travel tips to taking the stress out of planning a holiday with their all-inclusive offerings. 

Family Holidays: Why Doing Less Gets You More With Club Med

Travelling as a family usually means more to organise, more to think about and less time for yourself. Somewhere between booking the flights and finding the missing hat, the ‘holiday’ part can go a bit missing. 

Do Less, Get More is built around the opposite idea: less planning, more holiday. Club Med is gathering practical tips from parents, for parents, to take some of the effort out of planning a family trip. Think of it as the group chat you wish you’d had before your last trip to the airport. 

What Does a Less-Effort Family Holiday Look Like? 

You don’t need a spreadsheet with colour-coded tabs (no judgement, we’ve all done it). For most families, an easier holiday means: 

• Fewer decisions. All-inclusive resorts take care of all the day-to-day planning, so you’re not Googling dinner spots at 6 pm when everyone is already hangry
• Built-in kids’ activities. Club Med has kids’ clubs, including for babies and toddlers, so everyone has something to do (and you can have an actual break)
• Less to pack, plan and carry. Because nobody has ever said, “I wish I had more to worry about!”

A Closer Look at Club Med Borneo

One of the newest resorts in the Club Med Collection, Club Med Borneo is tucked along the white sands of Kuala Penyu in Sabah, and sits on 17 hectares between rainforest and the South China Sea. It’s a long way from the school-pickup line, which might just be the point. 

Accommodation, full-day dining, drinks, activities and kids’ clubs are all part of the stay, so say goodbye (for now) to the endless ‘what are we doing today’ conversations. With kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, tennis, pickleball, archery, karaoke and even a splash park there’s plenty to do for all ages and adrenaline levels. 

The rooms take their cue from Borneo’s rainforest, sea, and local craft, with timber, woven textures, and handcrafted details throughout. If you need a little extra space, the resort’s Exclusive Collection Space is a quieter, more private part of the resort. It has suites, a private bar, a terrace lounge and a dedicated pool, all reserved for Exclusive Collection guests. 

If you’re curious about where Australian families can go for more all-inclusive escapes, Club Med also has family resorts in Bali, Phuket, Bintan Island and the Maldives.

Tips to Get The Most From Your Next Family Holiday

• Start with what’s gone wrong before. The thing that derailed your last trip is probably your best tip for more success this time
• Share the load. If one person is the family travel agent, it might be time for a rotation
• Plan less, not more. Leave room in the day for a swim, a nap or a spontaneous adventure
• Ask other parents. They’ve already made the mistakes so you don’t have to (you’re welcome)

Make This The Holiday That Feels Like a Holiday

The best family trips are the ones where parents get to sit back, relax and watch the kids have the time of their lives, instead of running a small logistics company. Do less, get more and maybe enjoy a hot coffee while you’re at it.
