Club Med Faru

just curious...

what's it like in Faru... how is the club med there different from the other asian villages. Faru is now an adults-only village rite? and what age is considered adults to them? how's the lifestyle of the adult village different from the family villages? more flirting and sex?

anybody going there in october or after that?

Hi Tamz

Faru is actually quite quiet. Lots of divers, and so the disco gets quiet after midnight. And in the daytime, it's very peaceful - without the usual lot of screaming children in the village.

The crowd is more European than you'd see in an Asian village like Phuket. In fact, Asian GMs would probably be the minority there. Most people stay for a week or 2 weeks.

The facilities are quite basic, so if you don't dive or snorkel, you might like to bring along a whole stack of books or magazines to occupy yourself. The village is also quite small - about half the size of Phuket.

Flirting and sex? I dunno - depends on whether there are a lot of sharks (and I don't mean the ones in the water). Anyone else would care to comment?

Yrs truly

Maukitten is right. Faru is quite quiet. I didn't see many singles/loners. Most came in a group or with partners. I just got back from Faru - 31st Oct.

Many divers. For me, I'm usually off to bed once the entertainment ends and the disco starts cos diving starts early at 8+ am. So can't stay up too late.

The crowd are majority French. When I reached on the second day after it opened, my husband and I were the only Asian GMs there, so all the GOs knew who we were. Towards the end of my stay, 4 Japanese GMs and a tour group (approx 16) GMs from China arrived. I only saw one Aus couple and 3 HK GMs.

Faru can accomodate up to 300 GMs. And they have about 35 GOs. Compared to Kani - 600 GMs with 50 GOs.

Being an adult village, there would be some flirting but beyond that I have no idea. Adult meaning above 18 years of age. And yes, no children, peaceful. :)
