Residence Clubs: The Reefs Club, a private residence club in Bermuda, is gearing up to open this June.

From The Reefs, comes the Reefs Club, one of the world's best hotels and resorts, and renowned for its emphasis on services, featuring 19 elegantly furnished two-and three-bedrooms, the Reefs Club residences all offer unobstructed ocean views and private hot tubs on verandas.

The Reefs Club is a perfect luxury getaway, offered at just a fraction of the cost of most island homes. Noting that most second homeowners spend only a few weeks of the year at their second residence, The Reefs Club offers the opportunity to own a second home, at a considerably reduced expense. Not only that, but as a private residence club, members don't have to worry about maintenance, security or insurance.

The Reefs' emphasis on hospitality offers the same services that guests of the hotel enjoy, including concierge services which make restaurant reservations, golf tee-times and onsite spa appointments as easy as a phone call away. Families at the Reefs Club not only stay in fully furnished two-and-three bedroom homes, but award-winning restaurants, pink sand beaches and world class diving and snorkeling.

Being a member of the Reefs Club gives the opportunity to own real estate, and enjoy some of the most luxurious living facilities in the world, through fractional ownership. Fractional ownership allows families to fulfill their dream of owning luxurious beachfront property without the expense and worry.

The luxury homes of the Reefs Club come pre-furnished by Dallas-based Vision Design. David Dodwell, developer of the Reefs Club, explains, "We devoted considerable time to researching a suitable interior design firm. Vision Design emerged as an obvious choice as their portfolio reflects the luxurious, yet comfortable setting we envisioned for the Reefs Club. It is important to us that our owners enjoy first-class furnishings and design that parallels the high standard of service and amenities our hotel is known for."

Each residence takes into account the relaxed Bermuda lifestyle, and is decorated in soothing pastels and inspired by the island itself, from the bubbled glass countertops to the beached-wood floors. Each residence has modern appliances, including Sub Zero and Thermador appliances in the gourmet kitchen, which also has a custom mahogany buffet with wine refrigerator.

According to Dan Nelson, President of Vision Design, "Working within the classic Bermudian style while at the same time introducing the latest trends in materials and technologies has been a gratifying challenge."

Reefs Club is also a proud member of the Elite Alliance, an exclusive program that allows members the flexibility to enjoy luxury vacations at Private Residence clubs from around the world, including but not limited to Cabo San Lucas, Aspen, Manhattan and Florence.

For those who have looked forward to owning their own piece of island or families looking for a vacation home, Reefs Club can be a luxurious dream come true.
