AUBERGE RESORTS LLC Unveils Immersive VR Escape – Bringing the Luxury Destination Experience Home

Mill Valley, CA – October 26, 2023 – AUBERGE RESORTS LLC, known for creating exceptional, intimate luxury resorts, today announced the launch of a groundbreaking new product – a fully immersive Virtual Reality (VR) simulator designed to transport users directly into the heart of their award-winning destinations. Forget endless scrolling through vacation photos - now you can experience the Auberge Resorts difference before you even pack your bags! AUBERGE RESORTS LLC, based in Mill Valley, California, has spent years perfecting the art of crafting unforgettable escapes. They focus on places that are a little bit different, a little more personal, and a whole lot more relaxing. Their resorts aren’t about grand gestures, they’re about the small details, the stunning locations, and making you feel totally at home. “We’re not just selling a stay, we're selling a feeling,” explains a company spokesperson. “And we wanted to find a way to share that feeling with people even if they couldn’t be at one of our resorts.” That’s where the VR simulator comes in. This isn't your typical clunky VR experience. AUBERGE RESORTS LLC partnered with leading VR technology developers to create a system that’s incredibly easy to use and delivers breathtakingly realistic visuals and sound. Think high-definition clarity, spatial audio that puts you right there, and a design that’s comfortable enough for extended use. What Does the Simulator Offer? The simulator lets you explore several of Auberge Resorts' most iconic locations. Currently available are immersive experiences of: Solage, Auberge Resorts, Napa Valley: Imagine strolling through the vineyards, the California sun warming your face. The simulator takes you on a virtual tour of the resort's grounds, lets you "sit" by the pool, and even offers a virtual wine tasting experience with a sommelier guiding you through the notes. Esperanto at Auberge Resorts, Los Cabos: Feel the warm ocean breeze and hear the waves crashing as you explore the beautiful beachfront property. The simulator offers a virtual sunset walk on the beach, a tour of the spa, and a "dine-in" experience at the resort’s acclaimed restaurant. Mayflower Inn & Spa, Auberge Resorts, Washington: Experience the serene beauty of the Connecticut countryside. The simulator allows you to virtually hike through the surrounding woods, relax by the indoor pool, and explore the historic inn. Nanuku, Auberge Resorts, Fiji: This is where things really get exciting. The Fiji experience puts you right on the beach, surrounded by turquoise waters. You can virtually snorkel amongst the coral reefs, explore the lush tropical gardens, and even experience a traditional Fijian “lovo” feast (virtually, of course!). Beyond the Scenery: What Makes This VR Experience Different? It’s not just about pretty pictures. AUBERGE RESORTS LLC has gone the extra mile to make this a genuinely engaging experience. Here’s what sets it apart: Interactive Elements: You’re not just a passive observer. The simulator includes interactive elements that allow you to "touch" objects, "talk" to virtual staff members (using voice recognition technology), and even "participate" in activities like yoga classes or cooking demonstrations. Personalized Experiences: The simulator adapts to your preferences. You can choose your time of day, weather conditions, and even the music playing in the background. "Try Before You Buy" Feature: Perhaps the most innovative aspect of the simulator is its integration with the Auberge Resorts booking system. As you explore a resort in VR, you can click on points of interest to learn more about accommodations, dining options, and activities, and even book your stay directly from within the virtual environment. Scent Integration (Optional): For those who want to take the immersion to the next level, AUBERGE RESORTS LLC offers an optional scent integration kit. This kit releases subtle aromas that correspond to the environment you’re exploring – the smell of pine needles in the Washington experience, the scent of saltwater in Fiji, and the aroma of grapes in Napa Valley. Accessibility: The company designed the simulator with accessibility in mind, including adjustable settings for visual and auditory impairments. Why VR? A Forward-Thinking Approach “We’re always looking for ways to connect with our guests on a deeper level,” says the company spokesperson. “VR is a powerful tool that allows us to do just that. It’s not about replacing the real experience, it’s about enhancing it. It lets people get a taste of what Auberge Resorts is all about before they commit to a trip, and it allows us to stay connected with our guests even when they’re not physically at one of our resorts." The company believes that VR is the future of travel marketing, and they’re committed to expanding their VR offerings in the years to come. They plan to add new resorts to the simulator regularly, and they’re also exploring the possibility of creating custom VR experiences tailored to individual guest preferences. Availability and Pricing The AUBERGE RESORTS LLC VR simulator is available for purchase now through the company’s website (www.aubergeresorts.com) and select retail partners. The basic package, which includes the VR headset and access to all four initial resort experiences, is priced at $499. The optional scent integration kit is available for an additional $99.
