CARLSBAD, CA -- Four Seasons Residence Clubs has launched a new web site that opens a window into the world of luxury home ownership. Located at http://www.fourseasons.com/residenceclubs, the web site is designed to allow prospective buyers to explore the highly desirable locations, intuitive service and thoughtful amenities that are a part of the Four Seasons shared residence experience.

Just like the residences it showcases, attention to every detail has been planned in the interactive and multimedia web site. Prospective buyers can explore properties with detailed home specifications including floor plans and review owner service benefits -- everything from in-villa and resort style dining options to cleaning services, recreation activity, member-only clubhouse information, child care programs and more. Tours of the comprehensive amenities, from spas to championship golf courses and interactive image slide shows that bring each spectacular property to life, complete the picture. Potential owners can visit virtually all of the current and developing residential Four Seasons properties in Aviara, California; Scottsdale at Troon North, Arizona; Sedona at Seven Canyons, Arizona; Jackson Hole, Wyoming; and Punta Mita, Mexico.

The site offers options and a multitude of information to suit every interest. Of special note are the site's Golf, Spa and Family pages, which allow prospective owners to explore the Residence Clubs with a focus on a particular interest. For example, golfers can read about the signature courses offered at the destinations and can quickly jump to detailed descriptions and specifics of each course.

The web site also details the luxurious pampering available for spa lovers, while families can find information on Four Seasons unique and innovative Kids for All Seasons program, available at every location, which allows both parents and kids to maximize the fun of family vacation time.

Since going "live" in March, the site has generated 5,300 unique visitors and more than 50,000 page views.
