About
Elite Resorts of Asia Pacific was founded on a simple principle – bring the best of Asian Luxury Resorts to the discerning traveller across the world. The site was created exclusively for those seeking out resorts with a difference, resorts that are inspirational, resorts that redefine what an enlightening experience should be – in short they will provide memories that last far beyond the trip home.
Elite Resorts of Asia Pacific was founded by two industry veterans who have great experience in defining true luxury experiences. Mark Greedy, the CEO, has over 30 years experience and for the last 12 years was Vice President of Asia Pacific for The Leading Hotels of the World. Jim Smith, the Managing Director, also brings over 30 years in the travel business and since 1997 was Vice President and General Manager for American Express in Asia Pacific.
Their experience as a leadership team has allowed Elite to embark down a path of redefining what a luxury resort experience is. Elite believe it should be what you want it to be, not what we or the industry want it to be. Therefore you will see a wide selection of resorts as well as activities that may give you pause to re-think what it is you truly want out of your travel experience.

Elite Resorts has been a great pleasure to work with. Their website has been an outstanding platform for us, especially when we launched Bali Confidential, an exclusive buy-out package that caters to a single party of up to 50 for a three-night, four-day retreat. This could be a family gathering, a corporate event, or simply a get-together among friends. Privacy and exclusivity are key for Bali Confidential.

We are proud to be a member of Elite Resorts of Asia Pacific. The competition of luxury resorts here in Bali is vast, so to be one of the selected few that are privileged to join the Elite collection makes us very grateful.

We have been a member of Elite Resorts of Asia Pacific since its inception in 2009. They have helped increase the awareness of Huvafen Fushi in Asia which is such an important market to the Maldives. By some considerable distance, Asia has shown the largest growth in arrival numbers to the Maldives in recent years and through the website and various marketing activities provided, Elite has helped us enjoy consistent growth in arrival numbers from Asia Pacific.

It is probably too early to say. I have not seen any stats from them to indicate traffic volumes to our website.

Elite Resorts of Asia have been a key partner in establishing ourselves as a perfect couples’ retreat with attention to culinary experiences. Being part of such a restricted group of resorts really helps us position ourselves as an exclusive boutique property in the Nusa Dua area of Bali.

The association with Elite gives Trisara a wonderful opportunity as we are not part of a chain and proudly independent. This limits the amount of sales staff we have across the globe and thus the resources and data base Elite offers is very important to us. Marketing small hotels has to be more "personal" and this is what Elite Resorts represents.
