What Exclusive Resorts does

Exclusive Resorts is a Denver-based, privately held members-only luxury vacation club founded in 2002 and operated as a subsidiary of Revolution Places. The company sells multi-year memberships (10-Year from $195,000, 10-Year Plus from $235,000, 30-Year from $295,000) to high-net-worth individuals and families, granting access to a curated portfolio of 400+ privately owned residences across 75+ global destinations, plus 50+ curated travel experiences, a Rosewood Suites Collection at 20+ hotel properties, a yacht charter program, and an Internova-powered Travel Desk for ancillary bookings. Members pay recurring annual dues of $1,835 per Plan Day in 2026 and select between 15 and 60 travel days per year.

Underlying the operation is a proprietary Member Portal and mobile application used for check-in/out, activity arrangement, grocery ordering, housekeeping scheduling, and direct concierge chat. The company owns the majority of its nearly $1 billion residential portfolio rather than brokering third-party inventory, enabling deep physical customization and consistent service standards across 3,500-square-foot residences. Membership is invitation-only and capped at fewer than 200 new families annually, with member-to-member referrals driving acquisition.

Revenue is generated through one-time initiation fees and recurring annual Plan Day dues, supplemented by Travel Desk commissions and corporate membership programs. In December 2025 the company announced a $59 million acquisition of competitor Inspirato, with closing expected in early 2026, creating a new parent entity called Exclusive Collective and consolidating the two largest players in the luxury destination club category.

Emerging players

• Black Tomato: Luxury travel agency specializing in bespoke, experiential travel itineraries for affluent travelers. Comparable on curated luxury experiences and HNW client base, but operates as a travel agency rather than a residence-based membership club.
• Scott Dunn: Luxury tour operator offering tailor-made vacations, private villa rentals, and curated experiences to high-end travelers. Comparable on luxury villa inventory and curated experiences, but agent/intermediary model rather than direct membership.
