Sensations Resort
Stunning contemporary resort designed by Sophie Jacqmin and Studio Arch
This brand new resort, opening in December 2014, is situated in the heart of Val Thorens and has a number of luxury features as well as doorstep skiing.
This unique space is the first of its kind to use crowd-sourcing in its design stages. Through a Facebook app, Club Med fans were invited to vote for what they wanted to see in the resort, from the interiors to the menu to the activities available.
The spacious rooms have a contemporary design decorated with pastel shades. There is a choice of Club and Deluxe rooms as well as Junior and Standard Suites. All rooms include a TV, safe, hairdryer and tea and coffee making kit.
For recreational activities after you have finished on the slopes, the resort includes a state of the art fitness room with boxing area and the latest weights and cardio machines. You can also test your skills on their climbing wall which has 4 climbs, two standard and two timed! Alternatively, you can simply head to the spa and unwind with a beauty or massage treatment.
Free WiFi is available throughout the resort so you'll easily be able to keep up with family and friends, perhaps even sharing your latest holiday photos!

- Flights & resort transfers (if flights are selected at the time of booking)
