The Hideaways Club News
One of the global leaders in the destination club industry, The Hideaways Club launched in 2007 with a focus on London, providing members access to a collection of properties within a four hour flight from London.
Limited to 600 total members, the growth the young club would enjoy would lead to a more worldwide vision with properties in Bali, Phuket, and South Africa.
Members of the club own a stake in the entire Hideaways Club property portfolio, an increasingly popular club model as the financial elements of destination club membership has gained attention in recent years.
