The comforts of home

"The vacation exceeded my expectations. I am a foodie and love to cook, so I was delighted with the kitchen and especially with the kitchen equipment. The private dinner on the beach was delightful. The boat ride arranged for us by our Destination Host was an eye opener; the last time I saw such crystal clear water was years ago in Phuket, Thailand."

"The home on Hawaii’s Big Island, Hale Pu’uhonua, feels like a vacation when you walk through the doors. The home has amazing indoor/outdoor living space that spills out to the beautiful infinity pool overlooking the putting course…I could stay there, and have, over and over again...we've had tons of great times there and have memories to treasure for a lifetime."

Unparalleled service and planning expertise

"The attention to service has been outstanding. We joined the Club because we are a young family. We prefer to vacation in homes over hotels, but did not want to spend endless hours searching for the "right" properties. We like the idea of ownership, but not the idea of being tied to one location or the hassles of upkeep. For us, Abercrombie & Kent Residence Club has fit the bill perfectly. It has been the service — something I did not initially contemplate — that has made an otherwise great experience a phenomenal one."

"Not only were the home and the grounds fantastic, but our host was invaluable. She did everything from making us a lovely meal the first night we arrived to offering to give us tours of the nearby towns. She was on call to help us while we were there, and she even arrived within five minutes one day when we were accidentally locked out. She was always happy to assist with reservations and scheduling activities. When you are in a foreign country, that extra service makes all the difference. We are very excited for our next adventure with A&K."

"Our Destination Host anticipates the needs of each family, preparing the home with personalized amenities including an authentic Mexican welcome with a pitcher of margaritas, homemade pico de gallo and guacamole. He is very knowledgeable about the area and always ready to make our experience something special. All the little things that arise when travelling with a large group are always taken care of with a 'not a problem, no big deal' attitude."

“While we joined A&K Residence Club to travel to beautiful destinations and to stay in beautiful homes, we have been blown away at the way A&K has helped make our vacations memorable. By taking advantage of A&K’s resources, our family has had some amazing experiences, including a gladiator school and a private Vatican tour in Rome; swimming with dolphins and horse-backing on the beach in the Dominican; deep sea fishing in Cabo; bike tours around the walls of Lucca; and unbelievable gourmet meals provided by personal chefs in the comfort of our A&K homes. We continue to be impressed by the efforts of A&K to make our trips great!”

Extended family benefits

"We sent our kids for holiday in the residence in Puerto Aventuras, Mexico. The Destination Host’s attentiveness to the needs of the group was superb and very much appreciated. The report from the kids on what the host did and recommended was absolutely glowing. Please let me thank you both for making this trip truly awesome for our children. You deserve my sincerest gratitude and appreciation. A&K has raised the bar for luxury destination clubs, and it is the dedicated employees who make that happen."

A&K travel experience

"Ever seen a dazzle? A tower? How about a shrewdness? No? Then book an A&K safari with Trevor Carnaby as your private field guide. We stayed in luxury tents, ate gourmet meals, drank delicious South African wines, went on exciting night game drives and treated ourselves to spa treatments with all natural Africology products. In addition, we had Trevor Carnaby to enlighten us on our incredible surroundings. These are just a few of the experiences had on our trip to Zambia and Botswana. Our safari was more than we ever imagined; we were truly dazzled."

"It may not be far from truth to say it [Egypt] was a once in a lifetime trip! I would do it again in a heartbeat. The hotels were great I was able to go running in the morning and actually even the evening that I arrived I went for a run along the Nile. It was fantastic! The history the beauty the curious foods and smells and art work… Having a private guide was a special treat. I look forward to another suggested trip one day."
