Online opulence

When Internet users surf to the Web site of RegalRetreats.com, they see a catalog of stunning photos of luxury vacation properties from Malta to Meeting Street.

Now, the Mount Pleasant-based company has reached alliances with Forbes.com and the National Trust of Historic Preservation that provide online links from one site to the other.

The Forbes link will be with its Lifestyle Travel page.

“These agreements should expand our global reach, increase our visibility and better serve our luxury property owners and sophisticated travelers,” said Alana Knuff, founder and chief executive of RegalRetreats.com.

The company, founded in May 2000, promotes luxury properties, including historic inns, hotels, villas and homes, private aircraft, small luxury hotels, crewed private yachts, luxury canal barges, game reserves and private islands.
