30 | LUXlife Magazine he purpose-built, luxury vacation rentals Exclusive Retreats delivers see it appeal to clients who are in search of larger homes for group and family trips, as well as weddings and retreats. These beachfront villas serve as the perfect backdrop for any kind of gathering, and big groups love how much space they get across en-suite rooms and beautiful, shared environments. Homes also have almost any amenity guests could desire, and most come complete with pools and hot tubs. Built specifically for luxury vacations, these rentals are less of a home base and more of an experience in their own right. Some guests do not even leave their during their stay, content with the adventure their villa provides. Kenny explained: “The opportunities are endless. The homes have areas to relax and hangout, as well as pools, ping pong, pool tables, and large flat-screen TVs for movie nights, and yoga and massages spaces.” Highlights from across its portfolio include Villa Cristie, a beachfront villa with space for up to 16 guests in Playa Potrero, Costa Rica; Desert Dream, an expansive estate with the capacity to sleep as many 35 guests in the heart of the Moab desert; and White Rim Retreat, a luxury dual-home escape complete with two hot tubs, a bocce court, and panoramic views of the red rocks encompassing the home on all sides.

The aim is to make guest journeys as seamless as possible, something the team uphold through quick response times, ensuring needs are met and expectations exceeded. Kenny and his family have based this ethos on their own experiences of what good travel looks like, having witnessed both the highs and lows.

Many rentals are simply second homes, and this can be felt in their architecture and layout. With Exclusive Retreats’ homes all being built for this purpose, no longer must someone in the group draw the short straw and end up in a tiny bedroom with no privacy. “We’ve felt the joys of having a seamless experience and the pitfalls of not, so we strive to provide guests with the experiences we would desire”, Kenny told us.
