How is Exclusive Resorts different from renting luxury vacation homes?
Renting luxury homes can mean unpredictability — variable pricing, security deposits, hidden cleaning costs, and amenity or villa fees, coupled with inconsistent quality and a lack of reliable support. Exclusive Resorts removes these variables. Residences are meticulously vetted, professionally managed, and include personalized, high-touch pre-trip planning and concierge services. When you travel, you’ll have a dedicated on-site team to manage every detail. Need groceries? They’ll get them. A night out? They’ll book it. Want a massage? A yoga instructor? A private chef? Housekeeping? Just ask. With your concierge tending to just a handful of families, you’ll get the total attention you deserve.
How does Exclusive Resorts compare to owning a vacation home?
While homebuyers contend with rising mortgage rates, repair costs, and ongoing maintenance, Members of Exclusive Resorts pay a one-time initiation fee and fixed annual dues. In return, they can enjoy 15 to 60 days of travel per year, choosing from 400+ multimillion-dollar residences and curated experiences across 75 sought-after destinations worldwide.
Owning a vacation home demands substantial capital, constant upkeep, and the limitation of returning to the same property year after year. Exclusive Resorts eliminates these burdens. For a fraction of the cost of ownership, Members gain access to a portfolio of luxury residences, many valued between $3–5 million, with no maintenance, management, or compromise required.
“We go to great lengths to ensure our residences and experiences — whether a remote, four-bedroom home in Costa Rica or private villa in Tuscany — are meticulously vetted to eliminate any inconsistencies,” says James Henderson, CEO. “And because we own the majority of our core residential portfolio, we can customize and maintain every detail from the furniture and fixtures to the cutlery in your kitchen. For our four new residences at the Rosewood Mayakoba in Riviera Maya, Mexico, we even worked with the developer to ensure they have the floorplans our Members will want.”

What kind of homes and destinations does the Club offer?
Exclusive Resorts doesn’t just take its Members to the most sought-after destinations — it takes them to the best five-star hotels and resort communities in the world. On beaches, they stay in sprawling villas at Mexico’s Rosewood Mayakoba, the Four Seasons Resort Anguilla, and the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman. In Europe, they call the Peninsula Paris and Casali di Casole in Tuscany home. And from coast to coast, they are regulars at some of the country’s most awarded resorts, from The Cloister in Sea Island, Georgia to California’s Montage Laguna Beach.
Forget shared hotel rooms. Say goodbye to cramped suites with rollaway beds. Exclusive Resorts offers room for all — and then some. The Club’s residences average 3,500 square feet, with many valued between $3–5 million. More than 50% of the homes feature four bedrooms, 24% include three bedrooms, and 5% offer five or more bedrooms, making them perfect for families and groups.
Residences span 75+ destinations across four key vacation types:
- Beach: 52%
- Mountain: 17%
- Metropolitan: 16%
- Leisure: 15%
From private pools and expansive terraces to ensuite accommodations for every guest, each home is professionally managed and includes daily housekeeping, and an on-site team.

How does Exclusive Resorts compare to a timeshare?
Timeshares often lock you into a single property or require cumbersome exchanges. Exclusive Resorts offers the freedom to travel when, where, and how you choose, with access to a global portfolio of homes and curated experiences. There are no hidden costs, or logistical hurdles.
What is included in the Annual Dues?
Exclusive Resorts doesn’t just handle the details — it elevates every aspect of your travel, creating unforgettable moments while connecting you to a community of like-minded travelers.
Here’s what’s included:
- Access to a curated portfolio of over 400 luxury residences and experiences across 75+ destinations worldwide.
- Pre-arrival planning with your dedicated Ambassador and on-site Concierge to personalize every detail of your trip, from grocery stocking to itinerary creation.
- Daily housekeeping and on-site support.
- Access to the Travel Desk, which provides full-service booking for flights, car rentals, and other travel arrangements, even beyond Club stays.
- VIP Benefits with partner hotels, airlines, and luxury providers, including upgrades, priority access, and exclusive amenities.
- Community experiences like Members-only events and exclusive access to unique experiences such as private yacht charters, Grand Prix viewings, and chef-led dining opportunities.
How do Members benefit financially compared to luxury rentals or hotels?
Like any country club, you’ll pay a one-time initiation fee and Annual Dues based on the number of nights you’d like to travel each year. Most families opt to travel 25 days each year, accessing the Club’s suite of members-only benefits, experiences, and residences starting at $44,000/annually. With open market rates averaging $4,200 per night for comparable stays, your annual savings could exceed $60,000.
For frequent travelers, the cost of Membership often proves more economical than booking equivalent luxury accommodations. “If you’re spending a week in Hawaii, just getting a suite for four guests during peak season is roughly what the Annual Dues are for Exclusive Resorts,” says Chris Jackson, a Member since 2021. “The initiation fee quickly pays for itself, and having 30 days locked in every year means we’re traveling more together as a family than ever.”

The Club's Experience Collection opens the door to exceptional experiences the world over. From African safaris to great American road trips, our team designs epic and immersive Members-only itineraries that are impossible to replicate.
