BECAUSE LIFE’S TOO SHORT FOR SHOULD HAVES.
LET TER FROM THE CEO
As part of the Club’s re-branding vision, we fostered a concept and eventual campaign, that “Life is Too Short for Should-Haves.” As I discussed this idea with my team, I realized that I was the perfect case in point: I was the type of traveler who often found himself in the “should” zone. I should have spent more time with family; I should have played more, worked less. Taken more vacations. Not half-hearted trips, but the meaningful journeys — ones that positively impact your life, family, health, and longevity. It’s impressive how, as we embody a vision — be it personal or professional — it begins to manifest. Today, I’ve moved on from the “shoulds.” I make time to slow down and authentically connect with family, colleagues, and Club Members. I traveled often over 2021 for precisely the reason we came up with for this campaign — life moves fast and given what we’ve all encountered over the past two years, unpredictability can be a motivator for change and progress. I’ve taken interesting trips. Meaningful ones anchored in connection. Because as we continue to refine and evolve the Club, I’ve realized life really is too short for should-haves. My hope is that we continually help you realize the same, and in doing so, co-create memories of true connection — be it with yourself, others, or new destinations — along the way. Travel Well. Travel Far. Travel Often.

2022 MEMBERSHIP GUIDE
B. A COMMUNITY. A WAY OF LIFE.
At its best, luxury travel is effortless. Everything from where you stay to what you do should be arranged without lifting a finger. But for the discerning few, it’s about more. More than staying in the finest locations. More than opulent welcome amenities. More than superior thread counts. These are mere table stakes. Boxes to check. For them — and for us — travel is far more personal. In fact, these relationships are what define us. Because we’re a Club. And that means more than just luxury accommodations and the same five-star service offered to thousands of guests every day. It’s about getting to know our Members almost as well as they know themselves.
Because travel made personal is true luxury. Welcome to the Club.

Founded in 2002 Exclusive Resorts is a Membersonly vacation club designed for families who put a premium on privacy and peace of mind. We’ve intentionally kept our membership small — welcoming a limited number of new member families each year to preserve the multi-million-dollar residences we own and maintain the unparalleled, personalized service we deliver. As a Member, you can relax and reconnect in the Club’s 350+ residences, often located in private resorts or residential enclaves. Away from the crowds. Your own sanctuary in the world’s most coveted destinations. Like any country club, Members pay a one-time initiation fee then choose how many nights per year they’d like to travel with the Club. Unlike variable rates of hotels and villa rentals, Members always pay a set Annual Dues amount, currently $1,465/Plan Day.* It’s simple. Predictable. And often less expensive than booking comparable luxury hotels and villa rentals. Some might say we’re the best kept secret in luxury travel. We say, we’re just the smartest way to travel well.

FIVE P OINTS OF CONSIDERATION
ESCAPE THE EXPECTED 01
“ WOW ” FACTOR Every Exclusive Resorts residence has a sense of “wow” when you walk in the front door. This means professional, locally-inspired interiors and stunning, memorable views.
02
COVETED ADDR ESS Location, location, location — a phrase repeated for good reason. The Club embraces this mantra when selecting destinations and residences alike. We consider the area offerings, Member interest, and relation to other destinations in the Portfolio, then choose residences with easily accessible resort amenities and notable sites — from walkable beaches to mountain peak views.
03
PR IVACY IS PARAMOUNT Our residences are always in a secure environment, often in gated, guarded communities that are near local attractions and never far from the excitement.
04
EYE ON DESIGN We replace the furniture, fixtures, and equipment in each residence according to a strict schedule in order to maintain the appearance of every interior. From the color palette to the baseboards, we thoughtfully execute every detail.
05
COMFORT IN CONSISTENCY We ensure each residence you stay in accommodates everyone comfortably, whether having a chair at the table for everyone in the family or spacious layouts perfect for friends traveling together. Each residence is your home away from home. OUR P ORTFOLIO 19

OUR SERVICE
R E L AT IONSHIP S D EFINE US .
At Exclusive, we don’t just plan vacations. We predict. Anticipate. Intuit. We get to know the way our Members and their families travel so intimately, we can craft their stay with barely a hint of direction. Expanding horizons. Opening doors to new adventures. Encouraging friendships between Members.
VACATION AMBASSADOR You’ll have your own dedicated Vacation Ambassador, whose sole responsibility is to plan the vacations you want — even if you don’t know what you want. Ensuring you enjoy more time with the people you love. The Vacation Ambassador is unique and integral to the Exclusive Resorts experience — part consultant, caretaker, and coach. Curating your family’s ideal vacation experience better than anyone else. Their role goes beyond travel planning, as they anticipate your needs — and those of your family, friends and colleagues. Not just order-takers, they will inspire you to expand your horizons and try new things when you travel. The Club currently employs more than 50 Vacation Ambassadors from its headquarters in Denver, Colorado — 20% of whom have worked at Exclusive Resorts since its inception in 2002. After completing more than 200 hours of training, each Vacation Ambassador looks after around 85 member families. We intentionally maintain this ratio to ensure they have the time to personally connect with each Member while being easily accessible, available for calls, texts, emails, and in-person meetings. As your family continues to grow and evolve — from young children to multi-generational travelers — so does the Ambassador/Member relationship. 40

Exclusive Resorts takes care of the little things so vacation can start when you arrive. Having all the planning in place makes travel a lot less stressful.

DEDICATED ON-SITE TEAM Every time 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. Exclusive Resorts remains one of the only companies in the luxury vacation club space operating residential-style communities with their own dedicated staff, including an experienced Residence Manager and Concierge team. Located on-site, they are available to Members in all Club destinations alongside a team of housekeepers, personal chefs, spa therapists, and more. Outside of ensuring every vacation is safe and seamless, our on-site experts oversee the Club’s continued investment in Portfolio upgrades and maintenance. Each year the Club allocates significant capital ($7M in 2021) to update our residence portfolio – from furniture and fixture upgrades to installing more energy-efficient technology.

Over the past year, Exclusive Resorts Concierges have learned the power of pivoting, meeting Member needs with flexibility and a fresh perspective. At its finest, luxury travel is effortless. Everything from where you stay to what you do should be arranged without lifting a finger. But for many travelers during the pandemic, a luxury travel experience became more than staying in the finest locations, enjoying opulent welcome amenities, and sleeping beneath superior thread counts. These became secondary tablestakes; boxes to check. “Luxury service is no longer just about stocking groceries or planning excursions, but about ensuring basic needs and fears are tended to,” says Leslie Cowell, Regional Director of Operations for Exclusive Resorts. “Our Members want to feel safe and informed. They’re choosing to travel with the Club during these cautious time because they trust us.” Club Members will never be a room number. What’s more, during uncertain times, these relationships—with Ambassadors and Concierges—have become the anchor to connection and safety. To evolve with the changing landscape, the Club introduced the Covid Navigator, a dedicated concierge who handles Member queries and concerns as they navigate re-openings, testing requirements, destination capacities, and more. Much of the on-site teams’ time has recently been spent helping Members navigate rapidly changing travel restrictions, requirements, and protocols, along with meeting basic needs. In Virgin Gorda, this means food. “Grocery deliveries have skyrocketed as Members don’t wish to stray from their residences or can’t because of quarantining, but we still want to focus on proviading an experience unique to the destination,”Cowell says. On the island, Concierges frequent the marina to deliver fresh seafood to Members so they can grill in-residence. Attending to the needs of Members goes beyond simply reacting, but proactively providing a seamless home-away-from-home experience. “We’ve seen a change in what it means to vacation. For many, it’s keeping up with work and school life, just in another location,” says Cowell. The team has set up desks and makeshift workstations within the residences for those working and schooling remotely. “And, for those who wish to avoid shared amenities, we’ve dropped off exercise equipment such as mats, bands, and weights, and even a stationary bike for one Peloton enthusiast.”

Christin Bourland, Concierge at Maui’s Montage Kapalua Bay, has been hypervigilant with Member requests and ensuring peace of mind. While the state of Hawaii reopened for tourism in October 2020, navigating the testing and quarantine requirements remained complicated. Here, she shares a unique Member story. When the Zelek family arrived at Kapalua Bay in November, they discovered a family member’s PCR test results were

Though Concierges create memorable vacation experiences, their role has shifted to accommodate today’s rapidly evolving travel landscape. “We’ve found we’re no longer simply working around requests, but fears.

lost. Because of the negative testing requirement, he would have had to quarantine for 14 days in his residence instead of enjoying the vacation with his children and grandchildren. “I spent about 48 hours reaching out to all my contacts, hounding the mayor’s office, health authority, and tourism board for on-island testing solutions,” Bourland says. “I spent nearly a full day on the phone waiting to speak to someone who could help—I was 45th in the queue.”
Finally, her persistence paid off—the mayor granted approval to be tested at a local facility. When his negative results came back 24 hours later, he was free to take advantage of all the island had to offer alongside his family. “It’s a rewarding experience to see Members arrive and enjoy their time on the island without being too overwhelmed by the protocols,” Bourland adds. “We help make that happen. Right now I’m more than a Concierge—I’m a COVID professional!” 47
