One of the most frequent questions guests ask our team when planning an all-inclusive holiday is about the specific Club Med drinks included in the package. Which beverages can you order completely free? What counts as a premium exception? Are alcoholic cocktails included, or will you face an unexpected bill at checkout?
The short answer is simple: standard tea, coffee, soft drinks, mocktails and cocktails are included in Club Med’s all-inclusive package. The exact drinks, recipes and brands vary from resort to resort. An included drinks selection does not mean that every item on the bar menu is free.
This Travelution Holidays guide explains the standard inclusions, common examples and extras to check before ordering. It is a planning guide, not a fixed drinks menu for every resort.
What Types of Beverages Are in the Club Med Drinks Included Package?
The Club Med Malaysia FAQ confirms that drinks form part of the all-inclusive package, with exceptions for certain beverages. Standard alcoholic and non-alcoholic choices are included, subject to the resort’s menu, bar opening hours, access rules and responsible service.
You can enjoy standard tea, coffee and soft drinks without an extra charge. Mocktails and cocktails are included too. Ask the bar team which versions are on the included menu that day; a particular coffee preparation, flavour or brand may not be available at every resort.
Family-Friendly Options for Kids
If you are travelling with family, children can choose from the included non-alcoholic drinks, including soft drinks and mocktails. Ask about the available juices, milkshakes or custom combinations rather than expecting the same children’s menu at every resort.
Club Med Drinks Included: Categories and Examples
The categories below show the usual range, with examples from resort menus. Standard tea, coffee, soft drinks, mocktails and cocktails are included, but the exact selection and brands vary.

Is Alcohol Part of the Club Med Drinks Included Menu?
Yes, standard cocktails and the resort’s selected beers, wines and spirits are included. This does not cover every alcoholic drink or brand. Order from the included selection during the relevant bar’s opening hours, and check the price before choosing a premium option.
You can enjoy the included selection at the bars covered by your booking, whether that is a beachside bar, the main poolside bar or an indoor lounge during evening entertainment. Menus and opening hours can differ between venues; some Exclusive Collection spaces have separate access rules.
The atmosphere at the resort bars is intentionally social and relaxed. Because it is an all-inclusive system, there is no pressure to “drink your money’s worth” or handle messy transactions, allowing you to pace yourself and enjoy the vacation vibe safely.
Regional Drinks with a Local Twist
Regional drinks can add a local twist to the usual selection. Examples from past resort menus include the following; they are not a promise of availability on your travel dates:
- Club Med Bintan Island: Past menus have featured chilled grass jelly drinks. Ask the bar team about the current local selection.
- Club Med Cherating, Club Med Phuket, and Club Med Bali: Past menus have featured bubble teas with popping fruit pearls. Exact recipes and availability may change.
Cherating update, checked 29 October 2026: Club Med Cherating is currently closed for renovation, so its drink examples and photograph below are historical. Club Med currently plans reopening during 2027, not a guaranteed date. See our Cherating resort update before planning a stay.
What Is Excluded From the Club Med Drinks Included Package?
Standard drinks are included, but the Malaysian Club Med FAQ lists champagne, VSOP and XO spirits, bottles of alcohol and some premium brands as extras. Check the terms of your resort and room category, as a specific benefit may include an item that is normally chargeable.
- Spirits: VSOP, XO and certain premium brands carry an extra charge; do not assume a named brand is included.
- Champagne and bottles: These are generally outside the standard drinks selection unless your booking expressly includes a specific benefit.
- Other special items: Check the local menu for whole coconuts, imported bottled water or special preparations; do not assume that they are either included or chargeable everywhere.
Check the menu and ask the bartender whether an item is included before ordering. Confirm any extra charge, including the serving size or bottle price, so you can decide before it is added to your room account.
Club Med Drinking Rules & Responsible Service
Alcohol service follows local laws and the resort’s responsible-service rules. Legal drinking ages vary by destination, so check the rule for your resort rather than assuming one age applies worldwide. An all-inclusive package is not a guarantee of alcohol service regardless of age, opening hours or intoxication.
Expert Tips to Maximize Your Drink Package
As your trusted travel agency, here are a few insider tricks from our team at Travelution Holidays to help you enjoy the bar experience:
- Explore the Mocktails: The non-alcoholic mixology menu is incredibly sophisticated. Give the fruit-infused virgin drinks a try during hot afternoons.
- Ask the G.O.: The bartenders love getting creative. Ask them to whip up their personal favorite custom cocktail or inquire about the resort’s “Drink of the Day.”
- Hydrate Between Rounds: In tropical locations like Bali or Phuket, the heat can catch up to you quickly. Use the easily accessible water stations or grab a juice alongside your alcoholic Club Med drinks included choices.
