SMVC Membership:

Each Sol Meliá Vacation Club member purchases a “home resort” offering in week increments to have the security of a guaranteed, tangible product. However, members also have the flexibility to change how that vacation looks through a currency system that provides options. These SMOptions (as referred to in the company) give members the ability to make their vacations shorter or longer, to change the time of year, the type of accommodations that they use, and the places for their vacations.

Additionally, if they don’t use all of the currency in one year, it rolls over automatically to the next year, and if they need more currency in the current year, they can borrow from the next. Just about any type of vacation a Member can envision can be created through this cutting edge, state-of-the-art system.

Growing Concept:

Exotic destinations, designer-appointed luxury suites, exclusive services and unforgettable leisure experiences are all standard benefits for SMVC Members. But there’s more….

The full lifestyle concept will provide Members with an entire life cycle of leisure lifestyle experiences to meet their ever changing needs; starting with vacation club membership, and progressing to fractional and then whole ownership. The variety of vacation experiences will provide ongoing flexibility and lifestyle choices such as catered and planned reunions or weddings, in-country club facilities and events, concierge, butler and chef service, airfare, private plan usage, cruises, car rental and more.
