Auberge Resorts Brings Immersive Travel Experiences Home with Cutting-Edge VR Simulator

Mill Valley, CA – November 8, 2023 – Auberge Resorts LLC, the acclaimed collection of luxury hotels, resorts, and residences, is stepping into the future of travel with the launch of its revolutionary VR simulator. Designed to bring the magic of Auberge destinations directly to consumers, this isn’t just a gadget – it's a portal to paradise. For years, Auberge Resorts has been known for crafting deeply personal, transformative travel experiences. They've always focused on connecting guests with the soul of a place – the culture, the landscape, the genuine moments that make a trip unforgettable. Now, they’re extending that philosophy beyond their resort walls, offering a taste of those destinations to anyone, anywhere. What’s the Big Deal with the Auberge VR Simulator? Let’s be real, travel isn’t always easy. It can be expensive, time-consuming, and sometimes, just plain impossible. But what if you could escape to a sun-drenched beach in Bali, explore the rugged beauty of the Colorado Rockies, or wander through a charming Tuscan village, all without leaving your living room? That's the promise of the Auberge VR Simulator. This isn't your average VR experience. Auberge Resorts didn’t just slap together some 360° videos. They've meticulously recreated their destinations using state-of-the-art VR technology and a whole lot of passion. “We wanted to capture the feeling of being at an Auberge resort,” explains [Spokesperson Name/Title at Auberge Resorts]. “It’s not just about seeing beautiful scenery; it’s about feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin, hearing the waves crashing, smelling the local cuisine. We’ve poured a lot of effort into making it truly immersive.” What Can You Do in the VR World? The Auberge VR Simulator isn’t just a passive viewing experience. You’re actively in the destination. Here’s a sneak peek at what you can expect: Explore Stunning Locations: Currently, the simulator features five flagship Auberge destinations: Nanuku, Fiji; Auberge du Soleil, Napa Valley; Mayflower Inn & Spa, Washington; Esperanza, Auberge Resorts Collection, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico; and Communes, Bali. More locations are planned for rollout in the coming months. Each location is recreated with incredible detail, allowing you to virtually wander through the resort grounds, explore nearby attractions, and soak up the atmosphere. Interactive Experiences: Want to learn how to make a traditional Balinese dish? The simulator lets you virtually participate in a cooking class with a local chef. Dreaming of a spa treatment? You can experience a guided meditation session in a stunning overwater pavilion. Each experience is designed to be engaging and authentic. Personalized Journeys: The simulator allows users to customize their experience. Choose your time of day, weather conditions, and even the soundtrack to create your perfect virtual getaway. "Try Before You Buy": For those planning a trip to an Auberge resort, the simulator offers a fantastic way to preview the destination and activities. It’s like a virtual site visit, allowing you to get a feel for the resort and make informed decisions about your itinerary. Virtual Social Hour: Users can create virtual avatars and socialize within the resort settings, creating a sense of community and shared experience. How Does it Work? The Auberge VR Simulator is surprisingly user-friendly. It’s compatible with most major VR headsets (Oculus, Vive, PlayStation VR) and comes with an intuitive interface. You simply download the Auberge Resorts app, connect your headset, and you're transported to your chosen destination. Auberge Resorts has also incorporated haptic technology into the experience. This means that you can feel certain sensations, like the gentle breeze on your skin or the texture of the sand beneath your feet, further enhancing the immersion. (Haptic accessories sold separately). Beyond Entertainment: A New Approach to Travel Planning Auberge Resorts sees the VR simulator as more than just a fun gadget.
