Club Med – the world’s leading all-inclusive brand with more than 70 resorts worldwide – unveils their fifth L’OCCITANE-branded spa at its Dominican Republic property, Club Med Punta Cana. Sandpiper Bay in Florida, Opio en Provence Yabuli in China and La Palmyre Atlantic in France are among the other Club Med properties that boast L’OCCITANE spas. The Club Med Spa by L’OCCITANE marks the conclusion of a $1.5 million upgrade project for the resort, completing the wellness and rejuvenation experience at Club Med Punta Cana, and enticing travelers with a new way to experience Provence with customized treatments relaxing mind, body and soul.

“Club Med continues to reinforce their position as an innovative brand by constantly evolving and making dynamic investment decisions including enhancing its guest experience by collaborating with the most luxurious brands, such as L’OCCITANE,” said Xavier Mufraggi, CEO of Club Med North America. “Well-being is at the core of both the Club Med and L’OCCITANE philosophies which aligns perfectly with what our customers are looking for – a way to balance their lives through enriching activities and relaxation.”

“Each L’OCCITANE product is multi-sensory spa experience in itself — our long-time partnership with Club Med takes the indulgence one step further with expert treatments,” explains Marcin Jasiak, Group Managing Director L’OCCITANE International. “We’re pleased to offer L’OCCITANE fans a new way to experience Provence in an elegant setting.”

Set amidst a coconut palm tree-lined 75-acre resort, the 54,000 sq. ft. Spa features 10 indoor treatment rooms including one designed for couples massages, four oceanfront palapas including two available for couples treatments, a manicure and pedicure area, Zen Lounge, an exclusive infinity pool to enjoy before and after the service and a L’OCCITANE boutique featuring more than 80 products. Each of the 10 treatment rooms provides separate air, music and lighting control to individualize the spa journey.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
