Mirabella Estates
Notes From The Club

Describing themselves as "a smarter alternative to second-home ownership," Mirabella Estates tied the luxury vacation experience offered by a second home with a deeded interest in the properties available to members. "For about a quarter of the cost of owning a luxury second home, ownership of a limited partnership interest in Mirabella Estates, LP provides you and your family unlimited access to numerous destinations and consistent, indulgent, personal services far exceeding those found at the finest hotels."

The young destination club offered members unlimited access to their collection of $2.5 to $3.5 million vacation properties, subject to availability and reservation rules. Mirabella Estates' properties were found in Aspen, Telluride, Los Cabos, Kaua'i, and New York, averaging 3,500 square feet each.

Soon after launch, the upstart club was acquired by the fast emerging Exclusive Resorts, who were well on the way to the dominant position in the destination club sector they would hold for years to come.

Valued at an estimated $20 million, the assets of Mirabella Estates that were acquired by Exclusive Resorts included properties and "Mirabella's proprietary marketing data, statistical models and customer service systems."

Not stopping at one, Exclusive Resorts also would acquire The Odyssey Club, a destination club that had yet to launch, in the same month as their Mirabella Estates announcement.

Now fully enveloped into the Exclusive Resorts offering following the 2003 acquisition, no current news is available from the club, but we invite you to visit our Exclusive Resorts Notes From The Club to learn more about their exciting club.
