For those who neglected to purchase a Valentine's Day present for their better halves, Ultimate Resort is now available. The newest entry to the destination club sector, Ultimate Resort, boasts "membership fees 50% less than other leading clubs."

"Ultimate Resort appeals to the growing base of 6 million 'mass affluent' luxury travelers, many of whom are looking for the flexibility and benefits of a luxury destination club, but at a fraction of the high cost of other leading destination clubs. Membership fees in Ultimate Resort are very affordable - 50% less expensive than other leading clubs such as Exclusive Resorts and Abercrombie & Kent Destination Clubs, offering our club members a great value," said Jim Tousignant, Ultimate Resort's Founder and President. Tousignant brings a financial background to the club, spending time at Thomson Financial, Morgan Stanley, and Multex since 1988.

The new club will market to individuals and families, but will also dedicate their time to the corporate world. "Now the corporate market can enjoy access to a growing portfolio of luxury homes at top destinations with all the amenities and concierge services of a private country club - all at a very affordable corporate membership fee," continued Tousignant.

Ultimate Resort will also feature a "Member Appreciation Program" where members can accumulate points to be redeemed for spa treatments, private chefs, lift tickets or additional nights within the club.

Averaging $1.5 million each, properties will feature large-screen LCD and plasma televisions with surround sound, DVD's, video game entertainment centers, and "digital art service" so traveling members can display family photos throughout the home as if it was their own.

At launch, the club will offer five membership plans for their base of individual and corporate members, ranging from 21 to 42 days of club access each year.

Like other new destination clubs, Ultimate Resort will be offering Charter Memberships at reduced pricing to early adopters. If you would like to learn more about the club, please feel free to contact us.
