47 Feb21358 Maison d’Lux is a private members club that offers a unique mix of lifestyle, entertainment and business services. We speak to Co-Founder Raluca Cherciu in the wake of the club being crowned as 2021’s Leading Luxury Concierge Company of Ibiza. As Ibiza’s only by-invitation lifestyle club, Maison d'Lux has won multiple international awards for delivering an unparalleled level of personalised service and showcasing an impressive collection of exclusive estates. Expert in creating ultimate bespoke experiences through world-class execution and steadfast commitment, Raluca Cherciu, Co-Founder of Maison d’Lux. tells us more about the firm’s ethos. “At the heart of our philosophy lies the determination of giving our loyal members back the gift of time - their most valuable asset. “Through strategic partnerships with the world’s leading luxury brands we grant our members privileged access to the most sophisticated lifestyle.” Maison d’Lux has played host to a dizzying array of celebrities, including the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Mel B, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Ken Block, Middle Eastern Royalty, and politicians and oligarchs from around the world. Having limited its membership to 200 individuals, Maison d’Lux is able to offer a truly personalised and impeccable service. “Whilst our Members’ Club is currently full, we do have a waiting list which we prioritise based on recommendations and introductions from existing members,” Raluca explains of the system. “We aim at preserving the family feel that characterises our Members’ Club, where in most cases, our members ended up becoming also good friends of ours.” Maison d’Lux Membership was designed for those who choose to spend their time wisely. Through unparalleled insider knowledge and an unmatched network of contacts, Raluca and the team at Maison d’Lux pave the way for Luxury By Nature allowing members to discover an Ibiza they never knew existed. From opulent experiences to yacht and jet charters, private investment opportunities to personalised services and VIP events, the club opens the doors to the ordinarily inaccessible. “We put people at the centre of everything we do. At Maison d'Lux, we have built a place of belonging where opportunities to shine happen daily. Our team members are eager to push boundaries and succeed.” The hospitality and travel market is currently undergoing a massive period of disruption due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which saw the industry practically shut down in 2020. Travellers became more aware of social distancing and hygiene protocols, which they could find in short- term villa rentals, frequently located outside the bustling urban areas, as opposed to hotel rooms. As such, the short-term rental industry has gained a tremendous amount of new customers who had never before considered accommodation outside of a traditional hotel setting. However, despite the restrictions placed on the world’s hospitality industry, it is very much business as usual for Raluca and the team at Maison d’Lux and she embellishes on a new venture on which the company is about to embark. “We are excited to announce our new property/home management partnership with Homes & Villas by Marriott International,” Raluca enthuses. “Guests are now able to earn and redeem Marriott Bonvoy™ Points at select Maison d'Lux home rentals by booking on homesandvillasbymarriott.com. ” With the launch of this exciting opportunity for both new and established guests, Maison d’Lux is affirming its title as the best of luxury concierge services in Ibiza.
