Holiday options for Royal Points members just got even better with the addition of apartments at K2 at Park View in Bansko, Bulgaria. K2 at Park View is a stunning new development of well appointed apartments, all with spectacular views, situated in the central part of Bansko ski resort. It holds a prime position, just 300 metres from well known 5 star Kempinski Hotel, and the Gondola ski lift for those of you that love skiing, or would like to learn!
There can be nothing nicer than planning a holiday. Possibilities abound. Thoughts of relaxation, great food and good times very often lead to images of azure waters and swaying palms trees. There's something about a beach destination that is simply irresistible!
We are therefore delighted to be able to announce that The Royal Kovalam Beach Club has been added as another Royal Points destination.
Bali has long been one of the most popular destinations for all Royal members. Whether it's a once in a lifetime trip for someone from Europe or a regular annual jaunt for those who live a lot nearer, Bali has an appeal rarely matched amongst the top echelon of holiday islands.
For those members with a passion for rugby you will be interested to learn that we are still involved with rugby sponsorships.
The Group now sponsors The England Rugby 7's in UK and Western Force – super 14's from Perth Western Australia.
By popular demand, we are giving our globe trotting members the chance to win our 'Free Holidays Up For Grabs' Prize Draw for doing nothing more than book a holiday! To enter, simply book a holiday through Royal Exchange (REX) during the months of November 2009 through to the end of January 2010.
We are introducing a new form of Ownership at our prestigious Karma Kandara resort, at www.karmaresorts.com called Fractional Ownership. The owner purchases a share (anything from one week upward) in a luxury villa with an underlying freehold or 100 year leasehold title.
In this day and age of intense media bombardment and hectic lifestyles, it is hardly surprising that the average person receives thousands of messages in a week. It is therefore no wonder that we filter out what doesn't seem important or interesting to us, yet we always seem to have a ready ear to those closest to us
When you ask the inhabitants of the many islands in the eastern Indonesian archipelago for the name of a sailing ship that regularly comes calling at their shores, the first name they invariably remember is Ombak Putih.
In the Indonesian language 'Ombak Putih' means 'White Wave' and her gracious beauty makes her instantly recognisable. More than any other traditional 'Bugi Schooner', she is a familiar sight from Bali to Papua and from Sulawesi to Savu. Having logged close to a hundred thousand miles over the past ten years, her captain and crew know more about the remote islands of Indonesia than any other people alive and there are very few bays in this part of the world where she has not anchored yet...
As many of our members know, Royal Resorts and its members have been sponsoring the Christel House Learning Centre in Bangalore since it opened in 2001. All of the children sponsored by Christel House come from seriously impoverished backgrounds...
The new look restaurant 'La Trattoria' at The Royal Goan Beach Club at Royal Palms has seen its reputation grow apace since it was relocated. It is now generally considered to be one of the best restaurants in the area! With an authentic Italian menu that ranges from delicious pizza, to gnocchi, polenta and mouthwatering risotto
As members will be able to see for themselves, our portfolio just seems to keep on expanding! This issue we are therefore delighted that we can bring you up to date with our latest acquisitions; plans for expansion around the Globe and in Bali; our continuing refurbishment programme in Goa; and of course the rest of our latest news! You can hear too what some of our members have to say about their recent holidays and the resorts. Speaking of holidays, we are delighted that members really are making the most of their holiday membership by taking even more holidays than ever before. We have only one thing to say regarding this trend ... please keep it up!
We all need time to enjoy the finer aspects of life and there is no better time to do that, than when taking holidays.
As a family man myself, living in a world where these days we all seem to have to work extra hard, I believe that we therefore cherish, all the more, the simple pleasures in life as well as any quality time we manage to spend with the family...
