Exclusive Resorts Introduces New Ways To Access Its Private Luxury Residence Portfolio

DENVER, May 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Exclusive Resorts®, the nation's preeminent destination club specializing in bespoke villa vacation experiences, today announced a new suite of travel products providing access to the Club's private portfolio of 300+ residences spanning 75 destinations with fixed pricing and no membership fee or long-term commitment required.

Seeking to expand upon its flagship lifetime membership model which requires a one-time initiation fee for access to 30-years of travel, the Club's new travel card – GATEWAY – and Choice membership products welcome a new generation of vacationers, seeking an experience that is truly personal, economical and most importantly – convenient.  Unlike hotel and villa rentals with inconsistent quality and pricing that can spike based on demand, costs with Exclusive Resorts' new product suite are 100% predictable with fixed rates starting at just $1550/residence/night.*

"Whether you're committed to experiencing a lifetime of unforgettable vacations or simply seeking a quick weekend getaway, Exclusive Resorts now has a product to suit the tastes and budgets of all travelers and corporations," says Kristen Nolte, SVP of Marketing. "These new products were designed to fit the way people travel today. By removing the requirement of a long-term commitment, we have made it possible for people to finally experience what it means to be an Exclusive Resorts member – from the service to the value - while ensuring the success of our Club for generations to come."

The GATEWAY Travel Card
The new GATEWAY travel card provides cardholders with the option to purchase 3- to 21-days of travel for $1550 – $1995 /residence/night* to be used over three years. In addition to accessing the Club's portfolio of two- to five-bedroom privately-owned and privately-operated residences, cardholders enjoy personalized pre-trip planning and in-residence services including daily housekeeping and dedicated on-site staff.

GATEWAY also appeals to corporations seeking a new solution for off-site retreats, corporate meetings and employee incentives making rewarding top performers and planning a corporate travel budget easy and more transparent than ever.

GATEWAY Escape: Interested in just one trip? This card can be purchased for a three- to seven-day vacation at a flat rate of $1995/residence/night.* Travel is available to 17 of the Club's flagship destinations ranging from Los Cabos, Mexico to Sea Island, Georgia. Purchase a GATEWAY Escape vacation as a gift or for a quick getaway.

GATEWAY: Whether traveling for work or play, GATEWAY offers access to the Club's full portfolio of 75 sought-after destinations spanning seven continents. Purchase three weeks or more of travel and use over three years at a rate of $1550/residence/night.* Premium upgrade packages are available for cardholders seeking additional access to an expanded booking window including holiday reservations* and a diverse collection of journeys and events. These custom excursions are created exclusively for Exclusive Resorts and feature exotic locations like Kenya and Borneo, or VIP entrée to Milan Fashion Week and The Masters.

CHOICE MEMBERSHIP
Membership still offers the best long-term value and lowest average nightly rate within the Club.* As a new Choice member, travelers can purchase a membership with 20-60 days of vacation annually and enjoy most of the VIP benefits with premier luxury lifestyle brands, elite travel status and expanded travel destinations and experiences provided to lifetime members - without the 30 year commitment. Choice memberships are sold with terms ranging from three- to 10-years. Fixed rates average from $1430 - $1817/residence/night* depending on the length of membership purchased and number of days purchased (inclusive of Club initiation fees and annual dues.)
