Description

Ultimate Escapes is a private club that combines the space and comfort of a second vacation home with all the services and amenities of a fine hotel. Members enjoy access to more than 250 private residences and affiliated properties in more than 150 locations worldwide. These include such attractive vacation spots as Los Cabos, Maui, Nevis, Telluride, Jackson Hole, Kiawah Island, Tuscany, Paris and New York City. Residences range from chic urban apartments to charming beach cottages, spacious five-bedroom homes to an 80-foot private yacht. All are impeccably decorated and maintained and feature the latest technology and entertainment systems, gourmet kitchens, luxury linens and superb locations near the main attractions of each destination.

In addition to offering more locations than any other destination club, Ultimate Escapes now provides its members with the most choices in membership plans: three clubs (Elite, Signature and Premiere) and five levels within each club. For individual members, Ultimate Escapes eliminates the responsibilities of owning a second home, the uncertainties of renting a home or villa, or the hassles of vacation planning. For corporate members, Ultimate Escapes is ideally suited for corporate reward or incentive programs for sales professionals, managers, key employees and clients. Members enjoy spacious, private residences without sacrificing resort, concierge and housekeeping services. Best of all, they aren’t limited to the same vacation destination time after time. Members can choose new places to visit or return to favorites according to their interests, their travel companions, or the time of year.

Members also enjoy five-star-level service before and during their vacations. One call puts members in touch with an Escape Planner, who is ready to manage all advance vacation planning. This includes everything from booking the destination to making tee times, spa appointments and dinner reservations to securing ski passes, private chef services and theater tickets. Local Hosts are available for on-site assistance. They prepare the residence for the member’s arrival and stock it with food, wine and other amenities based on the member’s preferences and requests. They are also on hand to supervise housekeeping and provide up-to-the-minute information on the locale, as well as to suggest and arrange last-minute activities and excursions.

A union of Ultimate Resort and Private Escapes: Ultimate Escapes provides a carefree, flexible and exciting option in luxury vacationing. The way it works is simple: members pay a one-time membership deposit and annual dues based on the amount of club use. Membership fees vary depending on the club and the number of days (ranging from 14 to 42) selected. Members have the flexibility to change plans from year-to-year, and extra days are available for an additional nightly fee. Ultimate Escapes also adds value to membership through exclusive partnerships with other travel leaders. Members can earn bonus points with American Express, exchange club days for stays in more than 50 four- and five-star hotels around the globe, travel via private jet and book luxury safaris and holidays in Africa and the Indian Ocean islands.
