Locals may have spotted an article on Luxury Link in the Vancouver Sun this weekend, but it’s probably news to the rest of you. It’s essentially eBay for high-end travellers:
Founded in 1997, Luxury Link is the world’s premier online luxury travel resource. Showcasing more than 1000 extraordinary hotels and resorts, cruises, tours and villas in more than 60 countries, Luxury Link provides unparalleled access to exclusive offers and insider tips for the sophisticated traveler.
I wouldn’t normally make a big thing out of a site like this, but there are some sweet deals to be had. To start locally, consider this auction for a two-bedroom cottage at the swankalicious Poet’s Cove on Pender Island. Four nights accomodation, breakfast every day, one dinner for four, $75 spa credit for each guest–an apparent retail value of US $2151.00. The auction closes tomorrow afternoon, and the high bid is currently at US $1075.00. I know CAN $300/night ain’t cheap, but divide that among four people, and that’s excellent value for luxury accomodation.
Or, if you’re feeling flush and altruistic, pay US $13,000 and rent a luxurious 6-bedroom oceanfront home for a week in Costa Rica. Make 14 of your friends happy.
