LUSSO (pronounced loo-so) is the Italian word for luxury. It is also the name of the preeminent, luxury destination club created by and for discerning travelers.

With LUSSO, you will enjoy access to a stunning collection of lavish residences located in the world's most exclusive vacation destinations, all with five-star amenities. But that is just the start.

We are redefining the category of luxury destination clubs. Nowhere else will you find the full extent of benefits associated with our Membership: unlimited access to properties, unsurpassed range of amenities, sharing potential appreciation, and transferability of your Membership, just to name a few.

Most importantly, at LUSSO you will find us focused and dedicated to exceeding your expectations, time and time again.

LUSSO opens doors to unexpected pleasures. We work hard to ensure your long-term happiness.

What truly distinguishes LUSSO from any other private residence club is that here . . .It's all about you.

A Membership in our luxury residence club gives you access to the finest luxury homes available in some of the world's most exclusive vacation destinations. And these are no ordinary homes.

At an average of more than $3 million in value, LUSSO private residences are located in the most desirable neighborhoods at each location. We only select homes that take full advantage of their surroundings. And by limiting our Membership base to be truly exclusive it allows us to cherry-pick the best of the best.

We retain top interior designers to create elegant, livable spaces infused with local art and architecture. Our residences typically feature open floor plans, state-of-the-art gourmet kitchens and the latest technologies—from high-definition televisions and game systems to fully outfitted studies and more.

The LUSSO Life: Luxury Services

Experiencing The LUSSO Life is not limited to your vacation travels but is yours whenever and wherever you want to indulge yourself. Our service sets us apart from any other luxury destination club.

To bring you this benefit, we have formed a partnership—exclusive in the destination club industry—w ith JD Concierge Services (JDCS). For the past eleven years JDCS has worked with corporate clients such as CNN, Credit Suisse First Boston, Citibank, JP Morgan, Jeffries and Co., Goldman Sachs, Staubach, and Bass Trading to make things happen for their most important people. And now LUSSO has secured this connection to make things happen for its most important people— its Members.

Is LUSSO a timeshare or fractional?

It is neither of these. Timeshares and fractional ownership clubs are ways of purchasing access to a single destination for a specific week, or weeks, of the year. In order to maximize profit, the developer of a timeshare or fractional project sells out a large proportion of the capacity of the property. Timeshare and fractional owners may be able to gain access to other locations through an exchange system but these can be cumbersome and limiting. This structure can render it difficult for an owner in one location to visit another location, or to gain access to the property in his home location in excess of his base allotment of weeks.

What can I expect from a LUSSO home in terms of quality?

LUSSO will own spacious private residences in some of the finest and most popular resort destinations around the world.

The average value of the homes in the portfolio exceeds $3 million. Individual home values may range from $2 million to in excess of $4 million, depending on the destination.

Residences will be handsomely appointed in a style reflective of their location and typically feature gourmet kitchens, beautifully appointed living and dining areas, state-of-the-art entertainment systems, high-speed Internet connectivity and, in many cases, private pools and spas.

When we purchase property for LUSSO we are meticulous in our selection—is the home situated to maximize daytime sun exposure on the pool/patio area? Will you get the best vantage point for those city light and sunset views? We've thought of all these things and many more.

It is also important to realize that there can be a significant difference between a $3 million property and a $2.5 million property in the same destination, for example, true ski-in/ski-out versus a 10-minute walk or shuttle to the slopes or absolute ocean-front versus ocean view.

In addition to the value of the home, the Club invests in excess of $250,000 in furnishings and, at most U.S. properties, a luxury vehicle is provided with a value of around $60,000.

Finally, expect your LUSSO home to come complete with destination-specific equipment for your use—golf clubs in Scottsdale, bicycles in Kiawah Island, golf carts in the Bahamas, etc.

What does my Membership entitle me to in addition to the use of Club properties?

In addition to unlimited use of the LUSSO properties, Annual Dues cover the following:
• Pre-arrival grocery shopping service
• Personal concierge services
• Daily house cleaning
• Use of resort and/or hotel amenities, where the Club is able to secure these
• Use of luxury vehicles
• Round trip airport transfers up to $300 to Club properties where a complimentary Club vehicle is provided

Annual Dues do not cover items of a more "consumable" nature such as food and beverages, personal chefs and spa treatments. These features, and many more, can be arranged for you by your personal concierge at only a pass-through cost to you.

Are there any other benefits offered to Members?

Absolutely. Wherever possible LUSSO will secure membership to local country clubs and will pay all monthly dues. We are also continually adding new partnerships as we develop the Club —for example, golf clubs through our affiliation with Callaway Golf.
