If you're looking to get away this winter and escape to a private luxurious resort, the newly opened Residence 'Zanzibar' may just be the answer. This private retreat was designed by the architectural firm Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA) and only opened a short while ago in April 2011.
The Residence Zanzibar is truly the epitome of luxury, beginning with its location on a remote portion of the island of Zanzibar. The 80 acres that make up the Residence Zanzibar are home to 66 private villas, which are each equipped with a pool and are decorated to play up the various cultures of Zanzibar. This resort would make for a dream getaway!
Implications - As oppose to indulging in cruises and staying at massive resorts, many consumers now desire to travel apart from big groups, in exchange for more detached vacation experiences. Even while not on vacation these consumers continue to appreciate products that allow them to separate themselves from mass society temporarily.
