Letter from the CEO

As originally published in The Club Magazine Volume 1, Inside The World of Exclusive Resorts.

The Club — it’s a declaration of what this community has always been: not simply a portfolio of exquisite homes and experiences, but a shared way of life — curated, connected, and lived with purpose.

Recently, someone mentioned the idea of a Life List. I nearly waved it off. Like many, I’ve always found bucket lists to be somewhat performative. Oversized. More pressure than promise. But the Life List? That felt different. Not a fantasy. A framework. A way to move through time with intention — decade by decade, trip by trip — with the people you care about most.

It reminded me why this Club exists. Because travel isn’t just about escape; it’s about expansion. About showing your child the world while they still want to hold your hand in an airport. About bringing your parents along before they start to slow down. About making time in your 40s when there’s none to spare, and reclaiming time in your 50s and 60s, when you finally can.

It wasn’t the idea of a Life List that surprised me; it was how naturally it aligned with the way our Members already live. What began as a smarter way to vacation has evolved into a full spectrum of living well through family trips, milestone celebrations, sabbaticals, and returns. Your 10-year Membership becomes 30 without realizing it, because time here tends to fly — and stick.

And in your 70s and beyond? The Life List becomes something else entirely. A chance to return to the places that shaped you — and show them to the people who matter most. To pass down not just memories, but Membership itself. The Club is inheritable — and with that comes the opportunity to leave your children, and theirs, something far more meaningful than a deed or a trust: a tradition.

So, here is my gentle reminder to spend your time like it’s the most valuable thing you own — because it is. Travel well. Travel far. Travel often.
