Timeshare and fractional ownership certainly has its detractors, but one thing cannot be denied. When done properly, timeshare ownership opens up a whole world of luxury vacation possibilities for holidaymakers. With the option of swapping your weeks and experiencing something new every year, here’s a rundown of five resorts that are well worth a visit.
1. Anfi del Mar & Anfi Tauro
Vast in scale, the Anfi Group offers timeshare users a vacation experience quite unlike any other. Encompassing seven different holiday clubs across two distinct resorts in the south of the popular sun-drenched isle of Gran Canaria, to indulge in an Anfi Group timeshare holiday is to know true luxury.
Anfi del Mar, which is situated so close to the North Atlantic Ocean that it has its own private golden beach for visitors to enjoy, comprises of four developments – Anfi beach Club, Club Puerto Anfi, Club Monte Anfi and Club Gran Anfi – each of which offers glamour, spaciousness and access to an incredible range of pools, restaurants and leisure facilities.
Tucked up in the mountains away from the wind and the busy beachside lifestyle is Anfi Tauro, which offers luxury accommodation that cannot be matched. With an 18-hole championship golf course on site and top notch leisure facilities, the hardest part is likely to be choosing between the seven vacation clubs. For sheer quality and strength in depth, Anfi timeshare comes out on top.
2. Marriott Marbella
A real jewel in the crown of the Costa del Sol, the Marriott Marbella Beach Resort displays all the touches of finesse that timeshare owners will have come to expect from Marriott. The first of their resorts to be built in Europe, the Marbella Beach Resort was the gold standard and remains so to this day, with a spectacular beachside location and infamously luxurious, elegant apartments. Situated in an exclusive location just along Spain’s southern coast from Marbella’s beautiful old town, the resort is a delightful combination of classic Andalucían charm and modern vacation luxury.
3. Cameron House
Encapsulating everything that attracts tourists to Scotland, Cameron House is a vacation resort with a difference. A far cry from the first two sun-drenched resorts featured in this list, this Scottish hideaway is the epitome of rural, regal British charm. Situated on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, around 20 miles away from the big city life of Glasgow, Cameron House is set against a truly stunning backdrop of heather-dappled glens and greenest scenery. With stylish and timeless interior synonymous with De Vere resorts, this Highland getaway has all the facilities you could wish for.
4. 47 Park Street
Probably the most exclusive and classy way in which to enjoy an extended break in London, a 47 Park Street timeshare is perfect for international business delegates or those who fancy exploring the finer side of England’s iconic capital city. In the heart of Mayfair, amongst Michelin-starred restaurants and Bond Street shopping boutiques, the magnificent Edwardian-style townhouse features a member of staff for every visitor, meaning your every need is sure to be met.
5. Royal Savoy
Even on an island that is known for its prestigious accommodation and opulent way of life, the Royal Savoy Hotel is quite stunning. Set on the seafront in Madeira’s capital town of Funchal, this five-star resort has built on and around the reputation of classic and world famous Hotel Savoy to become the absolute benchmark in Madeira timeshare opulence. With gorgeous views across the Atlantic Ocean as standard and glamorous interior at every turn, the Madeira sun is totally enticing for those who simply want to feel pampered.
Timeshare ownership may come with its perils, but with perks like these five top European resorts, it pays to gain an understanding of the market and take advantage of the great deals that can be found through timeshare resale brokers.
