Paradise Destination Club
Notes From The Club

Apparently no longer in operation, Paradise Destination Club would proclaim the benefits of their structure over competitors such as Private Escapes and Exclusive Resorts.

Amongst these points were the fact that all homes in the young destination club's portfolio had no debt, that annual dues covered all operating costs, and that no properties within Paradise were leased or rented. From a membership standpoint, members could join for under $100,000, would receive a 100% refund if they ever elected to leave the club, and a property portfolio targeted to remain between four to six members for every one property, providing for superior access throughout the year.

While all strong selling points, upon further review it appears that Paradise Destination Club more closely resembled a property exchange format. As the club never actively marketed their product or created any press releases, information from the club is limited to a rather archaic and skeletal website, but members likely contributed their vacation residences to the club in exchange for access to other member's properties. While this concept has been successfully implemented at other organizations, the lack of support in marketing made Paradise Destination Club one of the least visible destination clubs in history.

Due to this club structure, many debate whether or not clubs like Paradise should be considered destination clubs, or if they fit better in more classical vacation labels, such as travel exchanges or interval ownership.

Nonetheless, Paradise would offer two different membership options, each under $100,000 during their Charter Membership Phase, ranging between 20 and 40 nights of annual access. Due to the lack of interest, the club has appeared to cease operations.
