The Japanese architect, Yuji Yamazaki, and French interior designer, Meriem Hall, designed the Villas around 4 main themes: beauty, nature, elegance and memories.

Built on a fabulous 5-hectare lagoon, the Villas have a Welcome Lounge, gourmet restaurant and magnificent bar round a spacious swimming pool. They have tennis courts, a fitness room, Club Med Spa by ILA and a pontoon for leisure and water sports.

In line with our worldwide goal to respect the local environment wherever Club Med is located, the Finolhu Villas have 6,000 sqm of solar photovoltaic panels, so that Club Med produces a good proportion of the island’s energy requirements with natural sunlight.
