One of the latest additions is Quinta do Lorde on the isle of Madeira. Overlooking the waters of the Atlantic, this Portuguese island oasis shines in sophistication and sustainability.

Modern units, ranging from rooms and suites to apartments and villas, offer captivating sea and marina views. When looking for recreation other than the property's on-site pool, bars, restaurant and wellness center, guests can enjoy sightseeing, events and nature-oriented activities.

Expanding the choices of RCI offerings in India is Leonia Holistic Destination, a themed destination brimming with pampering and recreational activities. The resort is set among inviting greenery and rock formations leading to a lavish interior. The property boasts a convention center, sporting facility and an award-winning spa and wellness center. In addition to three theaters and numerous restaurants, bars and nightclubs, the resort is home to dozens of indoor and outdoor experiences such as archery, cycling, paint ball and lazy river rafting. After a fun-filled day, guests can return to enjoy luxuriously appointed units that center on warmth and comfort.

The Registry Collection^® program, RCI's luxury exchange program, welcomes a gorgeous addition in the form of Breeze Private Residence Club. This Costa Rican gem, found along the famous Guanacaste coast in Playas del Coco, delivers exquisite attention to detail, a pool, and proximity to the beach, restaurants and a spa.
