Date: June 8, 2011

Quintess Beyond, the new travel benefit available to Quintess Collection members through a partnership with andBeyond, has added "bespoke health and wellness experiences" to their portfolio, giving members a new set of vacation options.

Shannon Paige Schneider, the Founder of Anjali Restorative Yoga, and Linda Hampsten, a renowned international chef, will lead a women's yoga retreat in Los Cabos from October 23 to 28, 2011. The event will include:

• Group yoga classes and private lesson
• Catamaran cruise, snorkeling and kayaking
• Private massage at Club Espiritu
• Group cooking class
• Bali Malas unique jewelry
• Manduka gift package with yoga goodies

The Quintess Collection will use member feedback to either offer the same yoga retreat next year but in St. Martin or create an experience for couples to enjoy together.

Quintess and andBeyond formed Quintess Beyond earlier this year, launching with two customized African safaris available to members. "We structured Quintess Beyond to be flexible enough to accommodate any needs you, your family and your friends may have," wrote the club. "Plus, you can use your Base Plan nights, so planning your tailor-made, intimate travel experience is easier than ever. Quintess Beyond is just another way to take you beyond the ordinary, giving you access to more of what matters most."

Nearly all of the leading destination clubs now offer a surplus of travel options outside of the club. Exclusive Resorts has crafted their Once In A Lifetime program, allowing members the ability to enjoy a new collection of trips each year. Equity Estates and The Hideaways Club have entered into a strategic alliance where members have access to both club's portfolios through a reciprocity arrangement.
