$8 million for a weekend break
An exclusive Mexican resort has launched what is thought to be the world’s most expensive weekend break – retailing for the incredible sum of USD8 million. According to The Times, the three-day break at the Marquis Los Cabos hotel, in Baja California, includes a private jet for whale watching, along with a “bedside performance” by Sir Elton John. The newspaper points out that, at USD2.8 million per night, the package costs what Dennis Tito paid for a break in space three years ago – but that at the Marquis Los Cabos, customers can include friends and family in the price. Ella Messerli, general manager, is quoted as saying: “We have had three calls so far: one from Switzerland, one from Italy and one from Oman. It has been going in the general direction of ‘Can I bring a group of friends?’ The cost is USD8.4 million, so if someone wants to bring their parents in law, I think I can be flexible.” Other features of the offer reportedly include “pint-sized tubs of Beluga caviar” and a round of golf with the legendary player Jack Nicklaus, who designed the hotel’s course. The idea reportedly came from a promotion by Leading Hotels of the World, which asked members to come up with the most “over-the-top” package. Report by Tim Gillett, News From Abroad Ltd
