Spring is a time for fresh starts – and that includes how you holiday. If you’ve ever wondered how timeshare works or questioned its relevance, you’re not alone. That’s why we launched #AskVOASA: to help you get the facts and ditch the myths.
What is Timeshare Really About?
At its core, timeshare means owning the right to holiday in a well-appointed unit for a specific time each year. But it’s much more than just a room. Timeshare resorts often offer spacious, family-sized accommodations, complete with kitchens that allow you to prepare meals and save on dining out. Imagine a holiday home away from home—where you have space for everyone and the comforts of a fully equipped unit.
Many VOASA-accredited resorts are managed by some of the most respected hospitality brands in South Africa, including Southern Sun Resorts, Sun Vacation Club, and Legacy Hotels & Resorts. These are professionally run properties with on-site entertainment, well-maintained facilities, and a commitment to quality service. This professional management means consistent standards that you can rely on every time you visit.
Why Choose Timeshare Over Other Holiday Options?
Unlike one-off bookings from less transparent sources, buying a timeshare through VOASA-accredited members ensures you’re dealing with reputable operators who follow strict industry codes and consumer protection laws. This provides peace of mind and safeguards your future holidays.
Timeshare ownership offers flexibility too through exchange organisations that make it possible to holiday at a variety of resorts. You can also share your timeshare with family and friends, giving you more options than a typical holiday booking. This flexibility, combined with quality assurance, makes timeshare a compelling choice for families and individuals who value trust in their holiday experience.
