Description of Royal Private Residence Club:

A Fabulous Kelowna Waterfront Location in the Okanagan Valley Recreational Paradise

Along a shimmering 120 KM lake in the mountains lays a resort destination unlike any other. Blessed with a mild climate yet with four distinct seasons, this playground boasts rolling hills surrounded by numerous golf courses, award-winning wineries, internationally acclaimed ski resorts and the excitement and bustle of a growing city and resort destination – the ideal Urban Resort.

Lake Tahoe? Napa? Sonoma? Think again. This is Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada a singular destination along Okanagan Lake whose diverse combination of urban amenities, resort setting and recreational options is unlikely to be found anywhere else. In summer, the lake sparkles with the promise of boating, fishing, swimming and sunning on the beach, while 20 golf courses in the immediate vicinity, and 30 others within driving distance, beckon enthusiasts of the game. Here visitors and residents enjoy hiking, biking and horseback riding along winding trails and past fruit orchards. Okanagan Valley’s 72 wineries make the area one of North America’s major wine-growing regions, and along with excellent vintages, there are wine festivals each season. Come winter, two nearby internationally acclaimed ski resorts, Big White and Silver Star, challenge you to take on their slopes. Meanwhile, next to the lake, the city of Kelowna bustles with lights, shopping, dining, art and entertainment.

The Royal Private Residence Club – Luxury Resort Villas back to top

On the waterfront of Lake Okanagan and right beside the well-known Grand Okanagan Lakefront Resort, the Royal Private Residence Club combines an exceptional location with the most luxurious Villas in the Okanagan Valley. The 70 beautifully appointed Villas come exquisitely furnished and finished and feature every comfort and amenity for the ultimate getaway. Designer selected and coordinated furniture and artwork. Lots of granite and marble. High end appliances and fixtures. A special lighting system, fireplace, and a large LCD television in the living room. Come see the model Villa, we’re confident you’ll be impressed.

Not only are the Villas impressive on the inside, but they all have large decks or patios to enjoy the sun… or you can wander down to the beach if you prefer.

The Rooftop Club Amenities are Spectacular

We’ve put the amenities on the rooftop so that you can enjoy the views. Soak in the infinity pool or hot pool while you watch the sunset. Watch the lake activity from the fitness area and club room. Feel the warmth of the sun while you tan on the large sundeck. Or relax with a massage in the spa area.

Within Steps of the Best of Kelowna
We talked a minute ago about how the Royal Private Residence Club’s lakefront location means you are within minutes of everything Kelowna has to offer. On the lakefront are beaches and parks for you to enjoy. Within a block is Kelowna’s vibrant Cultural and Entertainment District with its eclectic mix of shops and art galleries. The Prospera Place stadium is only across the street for sporting, music and entertainment. A casino is located right in the Grand Okanagan Lakefront Resort just steps away. And the shops, restaurants, entertainment, and nightlife of the downtown area are just a short walk along the waterfront walkway. That’s all without you even having to get in your car. Really!

Air and car travel is easy – Including Private Plane Travel back to top

The Kelowna airport has direct flights from Seattle, Vancouver, Victoria, Calgary, Edmonton and Toronto. If you’re flying in from Europe, or other areas of the United States and even Asia, it means that you typically only have to make one connection through a major center in order to get to Kelowna. It’s easy to get here by regular air service. If you have your own plane, the Kelowna airport is set up for private planes. Major highway routes are easily accessed by car through Vancouver, Seattle, Edmonton or Calgary.

You Can Choose to Own a Whole Villa or a Fraction of One – Whatever Suits You Best

We expect that you understand owning a whole Villa. It’s the typical way to own real estate. You may already be familiar with Fractional Real Estate, but just in case you’re not we’ll give a brief explanation here and then you can go to Questions and Answers to learn more.

Fractional real estate is one of the fastest growing segments of the resort real estate world – primarily because it makes so much sense. Fractional real estate is a hassle free way to own your resort property. It allows you to easily and conveniently share ownership with others. Each owner has their defined time that they can use the Villa and because the Villa is fully furnished and managed for you it means that when you arrive it’s perfect and when you leave, the staff clean up and make it perfect for the next owner to use. And yes, you get your own freehold deed to the property. You can sell or mortgage your fraction… or leave it to a friend or family member, just like you would a property where you owned the whole thing.

With fractional real estate you can own the amount you want rather than having to buy the whole property if that isn’t a fit for you. You may recognize some of the big players in the fractional real estate business… Hilton, Four Seasons, Marriott, Ritz Carleton, Hyatt – to name just a few.

At the Royal Private Residence Club you can own a 3rd, 6th or 12th share as well as the whole Villa. Prices range from CDN $71,900 for a large one bedroom and CDN $ 97,900 for a spacious two bedroom and den to over CDN $2 million. Let’s talk to see what works best for you.

Rent your Villa or Fraction if You Choose

With complete rental management in place, renting your Villa or your fraction of a Villa when you’re not using it couldn’t be easier, particularly when you consider the location, the associated Grand Okanagan Lakefront Resort and its Conference Center which drives business all year round.

Use Your Villa to Take Fabulous Vacations To Exclusive Resorts Around the World back to top

As an Owner in the Royal Private Residence Club you’re invited to join The Registry Collection, which is a company that operates an exchange program between very exclusive resorts around the world. They specialize in resorts and are very demanding in their standards. You can even chose to go on cruises. Click here to learn more.

The Kelowna Area and Okanagan Valley is Attracting Interest From Around the World

The whole area is being discovered and people are coming here from around the world to buy a second or resort home, to retire, to start a business or work in an ideal setting with a high quality of life combined with an easygoing pace… or just to enjoy the area as a tourist. With the resort amenities of the Okanagan Valley combined with the urban vibrancy of Kelowna it’s not hard to see why this locale attracts more and more visitors, residents and vacation-home owners every year and why the demand for real estate and prices are taking off.

Fully Furnished and Equipped All of the villas come fully furnished and equipped with literally everything that you need to simply arrive and enjoy yourself. From the corkscrew and dishes to the towels and linens – it’s all there even the large 37” LCD television. The décor is Tuscan-style with an eclectic, rich variety of furnishings, artwork and accessories that have been hand selected by an interior designer. Come to see our model villa – we know you’ll be impressed.

A Kitchen a Gourmet Chef Would Love
With all the great restaurants all around you and room service available from the Grand Okanagan Resort, next door, you may never want to cook when you’re here. If not, don’t worry, you’ll still enjoy the look and feel of the kitchens… whether you actually use it or just like to hang out there with friends and family.

If you like cooking then you’ll love our kitchens and what comes in them:
· Custom designed rosewood cabinetry – it looks rich and is a perfect fit with the décor
· Granite counters and splash – for long term durability, ease of cleaning and the wonderful sense of quality.
· Stainless Steel Appliances – Sub Zero fridges, Bosch diswashers, Dacor dual-fuel range. Yes they cost us more to put them in, but they looked so great we couldn’t resist.

A Living Room to Actually Live in.

With comfortable furniture and a layout that makes sense the living rooms are perfect to hang out in and enjoy sunsets and views of Lake Okanagan, relax in front of the gas fireplace, or watch a movie or your favorite TV show on the LCD. Our living rooms are designed to be enjoyed and lived in, not just looked at.

A custom leather couch is one of the feature pieces. It sets a relaxed but elegant tone. The upholstery and draperies look like they could have come out of a Tuscan castle and the colour schemes are warm red and brown tones. The glass dining table is cozy enough for a romantic dinner, but large enough that you can play monopoly or world domination with friends and family.

Flooring is cork with striking contrasting inlays. Cork is hot – not as in temperature (although it is warm on the feet, all year round), but as in it is being rediscovered. Cork is incredibly durable. It looks fabulous, particularly with our contrasting inlays, and it is easily repaired.

Bathrooms for the Bath Enthusiast

If you’re one of those people that loves baths and stays in the water so long you start to get wrinkly, then you’re going to be happy with our bathrooms. The tub in the master bathroom is a special “bubbler” tub with air jets. You normally only see this kind of tub in large, expensive, custom homes. You won’t want to get out of the tub. If you’re a shower person, don’t worry, we’ve put in a separate glass shower just for you.

Of course the bathrooms are finished exquisitely with marble flooring, wood vanity mirror surrounds and opulent mirrors, and bath linens.

Other Features

There are lots of other great features. Here are just a few that might interest you:

Nine foot ceilings – for a more open and spacious feeling
Individual heating and air conditioning controls – so you’ll be comfortable year round
Pre-wired for cable, telephone and high speed Internet – so its all ready for your communications whether for pleasure or business.
Adjustable, four stage feature lighting – it lets you set different lighting levels for specific areas of the home. You can also set how fast or slow you want the lights to come on or go off. Its perfect for setting just the right mood and while it’s simple to operate it will definitely appeal to the gadget lovers.

Club Amenities

Right in the Royal Private Residence Club, guests and residents will be able to enjoy a roof top Club room and amenity center that includes:

· An outdoor heated infinity pool – you can sit in it and it seems to reach right out into Lake Okanagan. Perfect for cooling down on a sunny afternoon or for enjoying the stars in the evening all year round
· Large roof top patio – for sun lovers to get their sun time in a quiet, private setting while enjoying the lake and mountain views
· Fitness center – to help you stay in shape and work your muscles
· Spa Area with steam and massage rooms – so you can relax after your workout… or even if you didn’t work out.

· An outdoor private garden in the main level courtyard – an ideal spot to sit to read a book or for a quiet chat with your best friend.

There’s more…

Grand Okanagan Lakefront Resort

Location 

People come from across North America and around the globe and are impressed with the Okanagan Valley and Kelowna in particular. They often find it hard to believe that a place like this even exists… and better yet is easily accessible by air or by major highway. You’ll hear comments like “It’s like combining Napa Valley and Lake Tahoe, but it’s not discovered yet.” But the “undiscovered” part of the statement is fast disappearing. People are visiting and moving here from all over the world. Direct flights or easy connections into Kelowna from many major North American destinations has been an impetus and when people come here they tend to come back and bring friends.

Consider that the climate is fabulous. There are four distinct seasons, but mild here all year round. Kelowna is large enough to have everything you need and then some. Here you’ll find world class skiing at Big White and Silver Star, water sports, fishing and boating on Lake Okanagan. It’s a golfers’ paradise with a long season and over 50 golf courses in the immediate area or within an easy drive. The area is one of the most significant wine regions in North America. There are more than 70 wineries in the Valley and there is a wine festival each season. The fall wine festival is ranked as one of the top 100 North American Events. Now add to that incredible hiking, biking and horseback riding in an area of hills and small mountains that are renowned for fruit orchards and produce. And it all starts literally at the doorstep of the Royal Private Residence Club on Lake Okanagan. Within a short walk, bike ride or a car ride of up to 40 minutes you’ll find everything that we just talked about.

We’ve talked about the Okanagan Valley; now let’s talk about the neighborhood right around the Royal Private Residence Club. It’s right beside the Grand Okanagan Lakefront Resort and the attached casino and conference center. Step out your front door and you’ll find beaches and a waterfront walkway that takes you all along the waterfront to downtown Kelowna, and all of its shopping, entertainment and restaurants. Immediately around the Club is the Kelowna Cultural and Entertainment District with its charming art galleries, eclectic shops and entertainment along with the new Prospera Place stadium for major music, entertainment and sporting events.

The location is… incredible. But it looks like it is going to get even better. Kelowna City Council has big plans to enhance the downtown and Cultural and Entertainment District waterfront areas. They are looking to make a statement and to create some significant icons and attractions for the future. What do you think it will be like then? If you could go back a few years and buy in a great waterfront location in the downtown area of Seattle, Toronto, Vancouver, Lake Tahoe and so on, you’d do it, wouldn’t you? Maybe now is the time for you to consider The Royal Private Residence Club in Kelowna.
