Interval Signs Multi-year Agreement with Windjammer Landing
APRIL 1, 2009 - Interval International, a leading global provider of vacation services, announced the addition of Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort & Spa, a private residence club in St. Lucia, to its vacation exchange network. A tranquil, luxurious retreat on the northwest coast of the island, the resort is tucked away on 55 acres of landscaped grounds facing Labrelotte Bay, approximately 5 miles from the capital of Castries.
"We are proud to welcome Windjammer Landing to our network. This is an exceptional resort and clearly a flagship affiliation in the Caribbean for our company," said David Callaghan, vice president, resort sales and service, Interval International. "The property has been recognized with numerous awards for its outstanding accommodations, gourmet dining, dramatic location, and high service standards. Our members will enjoy memorable experiences while visiting one of the most sought-after vacation destinations in the entire region."
The resort was designed by noted architect Ian Morrison as a self-contained Mediterranean-style village with graceful archways, white stucco walls, beamed ceilings, and tile roofs. The spacious 67 villas are decorated in Caribbean themes with tropical colors and offer unobstructed ocean views. Each unit has an open floor plan, wood furnishings, fully-equipped kitchen, granite countertops, upscale appliances and electronics, and a secluded terrace or sundeck open to the Caribbean breezes.
"Owners at Windjammer Landing are discerning, upscale consumers. Our decision to reevaluate exchange partners was made after carefully reviewing options and conducting extensive due diligence. Ultimately, we decided that the properties that are part of Interval's Quality Vacation Exchange Network clearly represented the highest quality portfolio of shared ownership resorts," noted Anthony Bowen, vice president and managing director, Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort & Spa. "Interval is a loyal and proven partner of the Caribbean hospitality industry and their executives know and understand the unique business needs of the region. We are delighted to be enhancing our product offering by partnering with a company of this stature."
Windjammer Landing offers a full array of amenities, activities, and services. Guests can enjoy casual and elegant dining experiences with four restaurants from which to choose. They can linger on the private white-sand beach and the infinity swimming pools or have a massage in the Serenity Spa or in the privacy of their own villa. Sailboats, windsurfers, paddleboats, water-skis, and snorkeling gear are ready and waiting, with golf and horseback-riding stables nearby.
