Inclusion criteria
What gets into the register, and what does not
The register records complete full-service resorts operated by the international luxury brands. The question it asks of every property is a single one: can this property deliver the complete luxury resort experience at the highest international level? Completeness is the test — kitchens, water, spa, children, and the staff to run all of them every day of the year.
A property is recorded when it exists, not when it flatters the register. Where a resort is thin in one department it is still recorded, on the shelf that says what kind of house it is, and the card says plainly what is missing. Scale is not a virtue here and neither is smallness: a hundred-key resort and a forty-key one are both complete or both are not.
A house positioned a class above the local luxury norm is not recorded here. That is a different question with a different answer, and the House records it in Fashion Resorts. The same holds in the other direction: a resort whose island, territory or address is the reason to come is held by the collection that asks about islands, territory or addresses, and this register carries it only where completeness is also the story.
Classification is the House's, not this register's. Where a record appears to sit in the wrong collection the register says so to the House and does not move it.
Inclusion is never bought. No property has paid to be here, no property can, and a property that answers our questions is recorded no differently from one that ignores them.
