Vacation of a lifetime |
|
|
After being inspired by the likes of Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, I highlighted a luxurious vacation at the Ritz Carlton in Vegas. Well, now I have found another vacation package that will blow your mind, and wallet, and definitely put you in the leage of Hollywood celebrities. For a meagre $425,000, you can have a vacation of a lifetime. While you are welcome to go with that special someone, you may also make this a family reunion - up to 10 people total. This is what you get from this package developed by Villas of Distinction:
 Private Jet Service
You will be treated like royalty on this private jet service from New York to St. Martin on the renowned Citation X.
Private Yacht
Upon arrival in St. Martin, guests will board the 140 ft. Martha Ann luxury yacht for seven glorious days. She can accommodate up to 10 guests in five cabins, featuring a main-deck master suite with king-size bed, his-and-her bathrooms, Jacuzzi tub and 42" flat-screen TV. Other on-board accommodations include two guest staterooms with king-size beds, in-suite bathrooms and flat-screen TVs; and two guest staterooms with twin beds, in-suite bathrooms, Jacuzzi tubs and flat screen TVs. Amenities include a wine cellar; six-person Jacuzzi; treadmill, weight bench and Life Fitness 9100; sauna; wet bar; barbecue; DVD, video and CD library and 50" flat-screen television with surround sound in the sky lounge.
Private Island
Following the stay at sea, you can then enjoy three amazing nights on Necker Island, Sir Richard Branson's fabulous private island featuring 74 acres of tropical paradise that form your very own personal hideaway. Totally private, Necker has only one residence, a magnificent villa of breathtaking Balinese design. On Necker, the pace is tropical, the ambiance exotic. Surrounded by the sparkling blue Caribbean Sea of the British Virgin Islands, Necker Island exudes the elegance and lifestyle of the rich and famous.
Beneath huge peaked roofs, this unique structure houses 10 bedrooms, all with in-suite bathrooms and private balconies that offer sweeping vistas of the sea and neighboring islands. The living and dining areas are cavernous. Tropical sunlight streams through vast skylights in the vaulted ceiling. Wide louvered windows open to the exhilarating ocean breezes. A raised gallery overlooks an interior garden of lush palms and ferns.
Outside, the villa is encircled by broad, galleried terraces of York stone. A patio is set for dining al fresco. All about, comfortable lounge furniture invites languid relaxation or quiet reading. From this upper terrace, fresh water cascades into a whirlpool on the terrace below and flows into the enormous swimming pool, its water as clear as Baccarat crystal.
 Own Personal Staff
On Necker Island, the staff outnumbers the guests, providing first-class service and catering to your every whim. Enjoy a tropical drink in the indoor garden or on one of the terraces with picturesque views of the British Virgin Islands. Meals are as informal or formal as you desire, and at the pace, time and location of your choice. Your staff can prepare a light lobster lunch with fresh fruit served in the shade of the pagoda at the beach pool's floating dining pavilion, or a more formal affair in the 26-seat dining room with silver, lace, linen and crystal place settings.
Island Activities
A short stroll from the villa, on a dazzling cape of silver sand, sits a Balinese gazebo and beside it a flood-lit tennis court. Two traditional Balinese guest houses, one with its own swimming pool, sit nestled in exquisite surroundings with romantic views. Recreational facilities abound -- sailing, water skiing, wind surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving and fishing. On the villa's main level, there is even a full-sized English snooker table.
