KEY BENEFITS

• Payback of initial outlay within 4 to 7 years, after that you will enjoy free holidays every year forever, only having to pay the annual dues.
• Asset backed, as all the assets for the club are owned by a separate property trust your membership is insulated from any business risks of Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts.
• Perpetual and transferable, membership is perpetual, which means the membership never expires; you can transfer, sell or will on your membership at a later stage.
• Brand assurance of villa quality, in contrast to stand–alone villa quality and furnishings, all BTPC villas are designed in keeping with Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts, which is continually recognized as providing high quality accommodation in unique locations.
• Resort amenities and membership privileges, most other destination clubs are a selection of stand–alone properties. As most of our properties are located within a Banyan Tree, you have access to all the resort facilities and activities, whilst your Membership card allows you discounts to Banyan Tree restaurants, spas, galleries and free access to golf green.
• Destination specific experiences, a large array of activities and experiences can be pre-booked and pre-paid so that you can relax and enjoy the destination once you arrive.
• Hassle free travel, once you have made your reservation, your membership services manager will be able to assist in arranging all other details. At Banyan Tree Resorts dedicated Resort hosts will attend to your every need.

MEMBERSHIP CAP/OVERBOOKING VILLAS

There is a cap on membership, but as the membership base grows, so will the amount of villas within the collection. At any one time there will always be a ratio of 1.5 to 2 times the projected number of memberships to the number of available villas.

FRIENDS/FAMILY

Your friends and family are permitted to stay at the villas if you provide their details prior to arriving at the Resort, subject to the maximum occupancy of the villas.

SPLIT WEEK

A seven-night or fourteen-night stay can be split into several stays with no limitation to your needs and desires and can be used in different destination and periods.
