Affluent vacationers have found that the secret to a low-maintenance luxury vacation can be found with Ritz Carlton- or Four Seasons-operated luxury vacation rentals.
These fractional properties allow owners to share a deeded interest in a spacious vacation condo that is regularly maintained for them, provides 5-star hotel services and is usually adjacent to a Ritz or Four Seasons resort. Owners can’t always use their time at one of their spectacular luxury vacation rentals, so they rent them out to interested parties through an agency, like Travel En Vogue. Travel En Vogue has a unique relationship with these owners, and can act as a liaison for renters who would like to stay at one of their luxury vacation rentals.
The most trendy luxury vacation rentals are the Ritz Carlton St. Thomas Residence Club, Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch Residence Club, Four Seasons Punta Mita Residence Club, and the brand new Ritz Carlton Vail and Four Seasons Vail Residence Club. What makes these Caribbean, Mexican and mountainside destinations so popular? Why, the extra space of a two, three, or four bedroom condo, being treated exactly as one would be in a luxury hotel, and five star resort amenities, of course.
