Top 10 Reasons to Buy a Southern Sun Timeshare

With an estimated 50,000 owners in the Southern Sun Resorts timeshare portfolio, timeshare remains very popular both in South Africa and internationally. What makes timeshare so appealing, and why should you consider buying a timeshare week? We look at the top ten reasons to invest in a Southern Sun timeshare.

1. Affordability

Sea view at Cabana Beach Resort

If owning a holiday home is out of your budget and renting a fully equipped and well-located hotel apartment for the whole family is beyond what you can afford, then a timeshare might be just for you. Southern Sun Resorts’ timeshares offer hotel luxury, great locations, a variety of accommodation sizes, and self-catering* convenience at less than what a like-for-like hotel would cost. By buying a week’s ownership in one of our resorts, you’ll be able to holiday for less without compromising on comfort or location.

*Beacon Island Resort and uMhlanga Sands Resort do not offer self-catering facilities

2. Spacious Accommodation

Southern Sun Resort timeshares combine home comforts and hotel amenities with more space than you would normally get in a hotel room. All our timeshare resorts are tastefully furnished and well-equipped whether it’s one of our spacious apartments or chalets. You’ll be able to enjoy fabulous resort amenities and conveniences and unlike most holiday homes, you won’t need to bring all your linen and towels with you. Timeshare units come stocked with kitchen utensils as well as crockery, and cutlery. Most units have kitchens as well as separate living and dining areas and well-appointed bedrooms.

3. Ownership With an Exit Strategy

A River Running Through A Pool Of Water

When you buy a timeshare week in a Southern Sun managed resort, ownership is in perpetuity * and there are many things you can do with your week. You are able rent your week, deposit it with SunSwop for exchanges to other resorts both locally and internationally, and you can also sell the week. In the event that you want to sell your week etc (remains unchanged).

*Beacon Island timeshare scheme’s 99 year lease terminates in the year 2083.

4. Buy Now, Save Later

A Southern Sun timeshare allows you to secure your future holidays at excellent value. Unlike a holiday home which might remain vacant for part of the year, with a timeshare you only pay for your week. To make your holiday even more cost effective you don’t need to worry about unpredictable upkeep and maintenance costs that can pile up throughout the year. Southern Sun timeshares are amongst the most desirable timeshare products on the market with a variety of high-quality properties available.

5. Flexibility of Ownership

A Bridge Over A Body Of Water

Southern Sun timeshares give you the flexibility of choosing from multiple dream destinations in Southern Africa and hundreds of other exciting holiday destinations worldwide. Your holiday investment with Southern Sun Resorts gives you automatic membership into Sunswop, a premier holiday-exchange service exclusively for Southern Sun Resorts members. Not only does that make it easier than ever to make exchanges with other Southern Sun Resorts, but our affiliation agreement with RCI opens the door to more than 4,300 resorts across the globe.

6. Quality Resorts in Amazing Destinations

Southern Sun Resorts are synonymous with memorable family moments, easy relaxation, and spectacular settings throughout South Africa. Our resorts are ideal for couples or families seeking space, convenience, and an unhurried stay. Southern Sun timeshares provide the opportunity to explore and unwind in locations that are renowned for their beauty. Comfortable, homely accommodation takes the form of apartments or chalets that offer a range of amenities. Enjoy quality hospitality and leisure experiences at every one of our destinations.

7. More Reasons to Travel

Your timeshare week makes it easier than ever to create memories with family and friends. Having holiday accommodation pre-paid and waiting for your arrival takes away the stress of planning a holiday and allows you to just arrive and enjoy the resort. Think of a timeshare purchase as a Personal Lifestyle Acquisition, not an investment. Southern Sun Resorts are committed to providing excellent holiday accommodation and recreation facilities.

8. Holidays Guaranteed!

A River Running Through A Body Of Water

Your timeshare week ensures you have a guaranteed holiday destination at your home resort every year. And with the convenience of Sunswop you can even choose a different resort up to 12 months in advance. With so much time to plan your stay you’ll have longer to look forward to your break, and more opportunities to decide what to do when you get there.

9. Ownership You Can Trust

A Boat That Is Sitting On A Chair In A Room

Southern Sun timeshare is Conventional Timeshare Ownership where you own a share in a share block company. It remains yours for as long as you continue to be the beneficial owner. It is bought in perpetuity which means it can be rented, gifted, sold, or willed. Your Share Block Company is run by a Board of Directors elected by you and your fellow shareholders.

10. Less Stress, More Holiday Time

A Boat Sitting On Top Of A Grass Covered Field

When compared to the cost of buying a vacation home, a timeshare is economical, infinitely more flexible, and a lot less to maintain. Having a timeshare in one of the country’s favourite holiday resorts allows you to benefit from the resort’s great amenities and leisure facilities. And whether you choose to exchange your timeshare week for a different destination or visit your home resort each time, you’ll have more opportunities to explore and get to know the destination.
