Everlands
Members

Combining several unique elements to their destination club, Everlands would bring a conservation focus to their club along with a uncommon real estate acquisition model.

The majority of most destination clubs acquire single family vacation homes for members to access. Everlands purchased large resorts, allowing multiple members and non-members to use the resorts concurrently.

Once the club reached 100 members, the resorts would be made available exclusively to members. Until that point, the club would keep the resorts running as usual.

Launched in 2007, Everlands managed to grow to 42 members before a major contributor in their club filed for bankruptcy. Lehman Brothers was a financier and investor in the young destination club, and their bankruptcy not only sent the Dow Jones into a downward tailspin, but also drastically impacted Everlands growth. By February of 2007, the club ceased their sales and marketing efforts and began to search for a destination club to absorb their members.

After several months of research, Everlands and Ultimate Escapes would enter into a strategic alliance where members of Everlands would receive preferred terms on memberships within Ultimate Escapes.

Pledging to continue the conservation focus of Everlands, Ultimate Escapes President and CEO Jim Tousignant stated, ""The Everlands tradition of conservation and environmental stewardship will also be an inspiration to us as we continue to expand on our 'Smart Home / Green Home' technologies, making an even stronger case for the sustainability and eco-friendly nature of shared vacations in our club."
