While you’re looking up the best places to visit in June and the best places to visit in July, we’re busy working to make our travel community even stronger. So, come join us!

But first, here’s our guide to understanding timeshare travel and its many, many benefits.

What is Timeshare Travel?

Timeshare also known as shared-vacation ownership is the act of purchasing a period of time, typically a week or more, in vacation accommodation. So, instead of investing in the land, you’re actually investing in the moments, the memories, the magic.

In a shared ownership model of vacation real estate, several buyers own allotments of usage, usually in 7-day increments, within the same property. And this can be applied to an array of wonderful properties, including resorts, condominiums, apartments, and campgrounds. It’s much like owning a holiday home without incurring the maintenance costs.

The spectrum of vacation ownership is wide. It covers everything from charming timeshare resorts that offer a single-week option to luxurious private residential clubs that provide longer accommodation durations of up to several weeks. The belief is that there is a ‘holiday type’ and a ‘holiday time’ to complement each kind of traveller.

Why is Timeshare Travel a great option for families?

The notion of a timeshare can be a difficult one to grasp at first, but trust us, it’s a lot simpler than you might imagine. Besides, it comes with a myriad of benefits, cost-saving and otherwise!

1. It’s accessible to all – Timeshare allows families the joy of escaping to a holiday home, a second home, without the financial burden of owning it. For those looking for weekend getaway digs, this option is the most affordable.
2. It provides location choice – you can pick from a bank of beautiful destinations spanning the country and globe. This unique model grants you the ultimate freedom and flexibility to holiday wherever your heart desires.
3. It offers up space – Rather than squeezing your family into a poky hotel room, enjoy the airy, breezy ambience of a vacation-ownership property, where everyone has room to do their own thing. Short trips or long, savour the luxury of space.
4. It's an amenity haven – swimming pool, gymnasium, golf course, playground, garden, gift shop, café, bar… what more could you possibly want in a staycation? Timeshare introduces you to a mini universe of holiday bliss.
5. It’s stress-free – Members need not worry about aspects like cleanliness, safety, logistics or planning. Vacation ownership comes with housekeeping, security, and helpful staff to do all your bidding.
