Collaborative consumption: The Hideaways Club is comparable to the concepts of NetJets or YachtPlus where several people with substantial financial means jointly invest in a private jet or a yacht, and use it only when needed. So an expensive investment is shared by several people. There is no longer a need to maintain holiday properties which are costly and are only used occasionally. Entrepreneurs or busy doctors do not want to invest time, energy and money, but instead go on holiday carefree.
This in a nutshell is the basic philosophy of The Hideaways Club. The ecological footprint is also clearly better. There are more and more wealthy people who prefer to invest in renewable energy rather than a multitude of properties that are ultimately a source of stress and trouble. But they still like of course to continue to go on the best possible vacations.
No time-sharing, no risk: This has nothing whatsoever to do with the very pejorative concept of timeshare, except the aspects of ‘spending a good time’ and ‘sharing real properties’. Hideaways Club makes a clear distinction between the property company and the operating company. Via the property company registered in Gibraltar, each remains the owner of its participation in all of the properties. The operating company, headquartered in London, manages the various residences and receives it annual fees from the membership. In the worst case scenario, problems may only arise with the operating company. The personal equity portfolio in all residences is never threatened. The real return on your investment lies more in the fact that you enjoy a great vacation for a fraction of the real cost of buying a property with a full concierge service.
Options: There are two Property Investment Funds: Luxury Villas and Chalets and Luxury City Apartments.
The first Property Fund consists of spacious four- to-five-bedroom luxury villas and chalets. While these properties are secluded enough to be considered hideaways, they are also within easy reach of the town centre and local attractions. Investment in the Classic Property Fund ranges from £88,000 to £230,000.
The second Property Fund, includes luxury city apartments located in the heart of some of the world’s most vibrant cities. Investment in the City Property Fund ranges from £69,500 to £127,000.
