Epiphany Clubs & Resorts has created a holiday experience that realises the dreams of many: a luxurious private residence club that members use exactly as they would their own vacation home. Set in the majestic mountains of Vail, Colorado, and free of restrictions and responsibilities, The Club at Solaris offers its members only the best.
 From swanky cars and yachts to private jets and luxury vacation homes, whole ownership is no longer in vogue. Savvy investors are less concerned with having it all and more interested in enjoying it – sans time constraints, extra costs and maintenance burdens. The private residence club industry has long been at the forefront of this growing trend, enticing wealthy vacationers who could easily afford to purchase a vacation home to opt for the services, amenities and freedom of a private club membership instead.
Epiphany Clubs & Resorts™, a Denver, Colorado-based company, has carved out a reputation as the cutting-edge innovator in the luxury residence club industry, now a booming multi-billion dollar business. Dating back to the inception of the fractional-ownership and destination club industry more than a decade ago, Epiphany’s founders have been determined to create and perfect an intrinsically different vacation home-ownership culture. Based on their involvement and experience, they formed a club model designed to overcome the disappointments and limitations of the past; in particular, the all-too familiar lack of availability.
Holidays without headaches
‘People clearly have an emotional desire to own a vacation home, but many are disillusioned by the reality of full ownership, which is laden with time constraints, hidden costs and maintenance hassles,’ says Tom Fulton, Epiphany’s president.‘We have designed an alternative that
is far more attractive than buying your own vacation home because it relieves you of all those burdens.
Our members come to enjoy themselves, reconnect, build memories. We take care of all the details so our members can live that ideal vacation experience.’ Epiphany Clubs & Resorts are located in exclusive, highly desirable destinations around the world.
Epiphany’s model does indeed offer members the best of both worlds, neatly packaging the intimacy and convenience of a private vacation home with the luxury amenities and boutique services of a
world-class resort. The club design includes Epiphany’s Availability Guarantee™ so members can count on flexible use of a vacation residence almost anytime. ‘We have virtually eliminated the reservation system. Epiphany club members
simply pick up the phone and tell the club when
they are coming. It really doesn’t get any easier
than that,’ says Fulton. Although members may
invite unaccompanied guests, the club does not allow outside rentals, so the club residences are ready and waiting whenever members wish to
get away.
Epiphany recently announced a joint venture investment with RREEF Real Estate Opportunities Fund II, a fund advised by RREEF, the real estate and infrastructure management arm of Deutsche Asset Management. With this financial institutional stamp of approval in tow, Epiphany has set its sights on revolutionising the vacation home experience in one of the most elite ski and mountain resorts in North America – Vail, Colorado.

Luxury in the Rocky Mountains
The Club at Solaris™, a highly anticipated addition
to the Epiphany collection, will feature luxuriously appointed three and four-bedroom club residences in the up-and-coming Solaris development. As one of the world’s most coveted destinations, Vail is a perfect match for the Epiphany lifestyle – carefree, sophisticated and unforgettable. It has established
a reputation for quality that extends to virtually every aspect of this mountain haven, from its variety of recreational activities to its culturally vibrant community. With the billion-dollar renovation currently underway in Vail Village, Solaris will become a new community centre, featuring an outdoor ice-skating rink, a state-of-the-art movie theatre, a sushi bar and sake lounge, fine dining, shopping and, of course, world-class skiing.
Members of The Club at Solaris will take full advantage of the world-famous back bowls, with private slope-side ski and boot storage and annual ski passes. Members and their guests can also expect to be pampered by Epiphany’s signature
array of exceptional member services, including
daily housekeeping and use of a luxury SUV while
in-residence. The club’s on-site concierge will
assist members in booking golf, ski school, spa treatments, dining and activity reservations, kids’ programmes and vacation planning, and will be available to fulfil any other request, be it hiring a private chef or stocking the pantry.
 With a central location in the prestigious Vail Village, members will peruse the many restaurants and boutiques that line Vail Village’s cobblestone
streets, all just a short stroll from The Club at Solaris. As a finishing touch, full membership privileges at The Club at Cordillera are included with Epiphany’s membership, granting access to four acclaimed golf courses (designed by Nicklaus, Fazio, Irwin and Pelz), an Avanyu spa, an Equestrian Centre and one and a half miles of private Eagle River fly fishing while members are in-residence.
Whether it’s taking a day of rejuvenation, hosting clients or keeping the kids entertained, The Club
at Cordillera membership is one of many ways Epiphany ensures a complete experience for its
club members. Epiphany has remained focused
on refining the private residence club model into
one that truly delivers the whole ownership experience. With its signature services and amenities, spectacular residences and incredible location in the centre of Vail Village, The Club at Solaris will redefine how world travellers and Vail loyalists alike experience vacation home ownership. Perhaps most importantly, with the benefit of Epiphany’s Availability Guarantee, members will have found the carefree, luxurious alternative to full ownership that finally puts the focus back on
quality time.
