Ocean Villas. Building on the success

of the company’s existing Westin-

branded villa resorts on Kaanapali

Beach, the goal of this new offering

is to provide owners and guests an

authentic experience that celebrates

the island’s rich history and tradi-

tions. Slated to open in May 2017,

The Westin Nanea Ocean Villas will

be situated on 16 oceanfront acres

(6.5 hectares) next to an undeveloped

10-acre (4 hectares) public park.

Infused with a variety of culturally inspired Hawaiian design ele-

ments, resort amenities will include a 10,000-square-foot (929 square

meters) lagoon-style swimming pool with an upper pool, children’s

beach pool and play area, two plunge pools, three oceanfront cabanas,

and a WestinWORKOUT

Fitness Studio.

Mauka Makai, a full-service restaurant, will offer breathtaking

ocean views and an enticing menu of authentic Hawaiian and inter-

national cuisine, plus the Westin brand’s signature SuperFoodsRx™

menu. Inu Pool Bar will provide a relaxing setting to enjoy oceanfront

views, cocktails, and lighter fare.

Each time guests visit, they will be treated to an immersive

Hawaiian experience. Because 90 percent of Hawaii’s native plants

are unique to the islands, the resort will feature a botanical landscape

of lush foliage, with many opportunities for education and explora-

tion. Guests will also find cultural programming focused on local

history, arts and crafts, music, and dance at the on-site Pu’uhonua

Cultural Center.

“The Westin Nanea Ocean Villas is a highly anticipated addition

to the Vistana Signature Experiences portfolio,” says Williams. “We

have worked closely with Hawaiian cultural experts on the resort’s

design and offerings.”

New Luxury Villas on St. John

In order to provide more products to customers in high-demand

destinations, Vistana began a multimillion-dollar renovation project.

Enhancements to The Westin St. John Resort & Villas, on the island

of St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands, encompass the resort’s

guestrooms, dining facilities, meeting space, pool area, and more.

It also includes the conversion of hotel rooms to luxury villas.

The refurbishment began with the conversion of 79 guestrooms

into 52 vacation ownership units called Coral Vista Villas. The new

accommodations introduced 30 two-bedroom villas, six two-

bedroom lofts, and 18 studio villas to the property. Scheduled to

open in January 2017,

Sunset Bay Villas is the

conversion of the resort’s

remaining 96 poolside

rooms.

Owners will continue to enjoy the resort’s private 1,200-foot

(366 meters) white-sand beach, miles of trails, sailing, snorkeling, a

charming shopping district, and all the beauty of the island.

“The Westin St. John Resort & Villas is one of the most success-

ful resorts in the Caribbean,” says Williams. “As the resort and the

on-site vacation ownership continue to play a pivotal role in St. John’s

expansive tourism market, we are thrilled to enhance our presence

and commitment to the island.”

Five New Resorts

Adding to its collection of upscale resorts, Vistana welcomed five new

resort hotels as part of the spinoff: The Westin Los Cabos Resort Villas

& Spa, which is scheduled to reopen in the second quarter of 2017,

after renovations following Hurricane Odile; The Westin Resort & Spa,

Cancún; The Westin Resort & Spa, Puerto Vallarta; Sheraton Kauai

Resort; and Sheraton Steamboat Resort. These properties are antici-

pated to provide additional villa accommodations over time.

Vistana continues its commitment to empower travelers to expand

their horizons and seek out new destinations.

Vistana’s ability to view the world and its opportunities in

exciting new ways is just one attribute that draws the admiration

of David Gilbert, president of Interval International. “Vistana is truly

one of the industry’s trailblazers,” he says. “We’re proud to have

been affiliated with Vistana since 2000, when they were acquired by

Starwood. As they continue to grow and offer new high-quality resorts,

this means more great inventory for Interval members, bringing all of

us shared ongoing success.”
