Fractional Ownership

How the share works

Ten owners share each villa, and each uses it for five weeks a year. Scheduling is round-robin, so the calendar rotates between owners rather than fixing the same dates.

The villas

The villas are four- and five-bedroom contemporary homes, each with a private pool and landscaped gardens, furnished so that an owner can arrive and settle in. They look to Nevis Peak and the golf course.

They sit between the golf course and the southern edge of the resort, about a minute’s walk from the beach.

Care of the villa and resort access

The developer states that ownership costs are shared among the ten owners, and that each pays only a share. It describes Four Seasons Villa Operations as dedicated to the care of the villa, with two levels of care covering maintenance, security, pest control and landscaping.

Resort Club membership is described as included while you are in residence. The developer lists golf, tennis, non-motorised water sports and the beach club among the facilities covered by annual dues, and mentions occasional owner programs.

Weeks and the rental pool

Five weeks suits a family that comes back for a season or two a year. High-season weeks come in at two, low-season at three.

The developer states that a two-week period around Christmas is placed in the villa’s rental pool, and that weeks an owner does not use may be shared in the same way. The program documents set out how this works.

Before you decide

The share is a lifestyle purchase of time in a Four Seasons resort. Legal form, tax and what happens when you wish to sell are matters for your attorney and adviser, who will review the purchase documents.

A one-tenth share is among the purchases the Citizenship Unit may treat as qualifying within The Villas at Pinney’s Beach, an approved development. The Unit sets the rules, so confirm eligibility for the specific share with the sales office and a government-authorised agent. See Citizenship by Investment.
