A new Destination Club has recently launched with a primary focus on the Asian market but also with properties in France, Italy and the UK. The Banyan Tree Private Collection has an initial joining fee of $120,000 and annual dues of $3,000, which give 7 days of usage. Members can then buy additional multiples to increase their days.

Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts, a niche resort developer and operator in Asia-Pacific is the manager of the Club. Members can currently use several villas at Banyan Resorts in Asia.

Being part of a club entitles a member to the use of the clubs properties, and this applies whether it's a health club, a country club or a golf club. A destination club is no different. The properties offered by this sort of exclusive organization are high-quality, fully serviced, luxury vacation homes. Destination clubs offer their members a flexible alternative to luxury hotels, second homes and vacation home rentals. The clubs have properties located in a variety of destinations, sometimes on a global scale. They also provide the peace of mind that comes from knowing each home will be maintained to a consistent, very high standard.
