With experience in Asia, Europe, Central America, and the US, Xsense understands and can help you capitalize on unique culture subtlety. “Tea” in Great Britain is vastly different from “Tea” in Japan, China or South Africa. Our awareness of these distinctions can assist you in achieving smooth, integrated growth as your enterprise expands.

Smuggler’s Run Plantation - Belize

In 1799, an adventurous English sea merchant landed in the small ex-buccaneer- turned-logger colony of British Honduras, fell in love with a native girl, and embraced the charmingly relaxed lifestyle of what later became Belize, - as did many other Scottish men who followed in his footsteps. Just north of Belize City, Smuggler’s Run Plantation harks back to that era of Colonial Belize, with large British Colonial-style estates, rainforest adventure tours, and even a Scottish-style golf course. The combination of Scottish heritage and Mayan roots blend intriguingly together, making Smuggler’s Run Plantation a dream destination only possible in Belize.

Playa Dominical – Costa Rica

The sleepy little Pacific Coast beach town of Dominical in Costa Rica is known for some of the best surfing in the world. This development plans to retain this small-town ambiance, add a strongly sustainable ‘green’ infrastructure, and give the resulting development a taste of the uniquely local ‘barefoot elegance’ which the Costa Rican ‘Tico’ culture personifies. With playful art and architecture that comes to life during the rainy season, tree house dwellings, and sustainably designed homes, this is a village community that welcomes guests and residents into the living experience of a widely diverse beach-side community.

Macatawa Legends - Michigan

It’s all about Gezelligheid in Holland, Michigan—not windmills! This Dutch feeling of comfort and harmony fills every nook and cranny. Nestled just outside of the Dutch-founded town of Holland Michigan, Macatawa Legends will take Gezelligheid to the 5-star level. Gezelligheid, you ask? Heh-Zell-Ik as it is pronounced, is an untranslatable Dutch world uttered when the Dutch feel they are experiencing a perfect moment they would like to have last forever: when everything is just right and feels as though you’ve snuggled into a warm, cozy blanket, cozened by good food, great conversation, and the right mood at the perfect time. At Macatawa Legends, every day is a Gezelligheid day!

Cougar Canyon - Colorado

“God’s Country!” This is how Dr. Beshoar described Trinidad, Colorado back in 1882; its “Air is Luxury.” Twisted Juniper, fragrant pines, healing gems, and legends of love and survival follow the rich history of this vibrant town on the Santa Fe Trail. The magic, the energy and the healing powers resident here are more alive than ever at Cougar Canyon today, with world-class golf, a wellness lifestyle epitomized by brisk morning hikes, healthy gourmet meals, glorious fresh mineral water drinks from its longevity fountains, all the way to gemstone treatments in its brick-built spa and mountain air-clear stargazing at night.
