Portico™ by Exclusive Resorts® announced today the addition of 19 private residences in nine new destinations to its global portfolio, providing the most comprehensive collection of vacation homes in 60 of the most sought-after locales around the world. "Our members wanted more Caribbean, so we gave them homes in Grand Cayman and Bahamas. From Italian escapes to traditional American ski retreats, our new residences encourage our members to travel both far and near while providing the best value in the marketplace today."

Boasting more than 150 highly-vetted homes and villas, Portico offers a new, effortless way for families to vacation, by combining the service of a world-class resort with the space and value of a luxury villa.

"What makes Portico unique is our ability to adapt our portfolio to member demand," says Justin Halloran, CEO. "Our members wanted more Caribbean, so we gave them homes in Grand Cayman and Bahamas. From Italian escapes to traditional American ski retreats, our new residences encourage our members to travel both far and near while providing the best value in the marketplace today."
