Pestana Group pioneered in Europe the concept of selling weekly intervals in mixed-use hotel and holiday ownership properties. The Group believed that this concept needed a long term vision which would be best served by integrating holiday ownership into existing hotel properties. By including the professional management skills and a full range of facilities associated with hotel properties, holiday ownership customers were given the guarantees and credibility needed to make a long term commitment with Pestana.
In 1985 sales began at the Madeira Beach Club which is integrated into the 5 star Pestana Madeira Carlton Hotel. On average 1000 couples join the Pestana family each year by acquiring weekly intervals at a Pestana holiday ownership resort and the owner base has grown to over 25,000 families among 24 different nationalities. The number of holiday ownership properties in Madeira and the Algarve has grown to 13 (7 in Algarve and 6 in Madeira) and include over 910 Studios, one and two bedroom luxury apartments. The objective has always been to establish a long term relationship with these owners by offering a quality product backed by excellent service and professional management.
Based on the success of this concept, in 2001 the Group launched it into four of it’s resorts in Brazil and is now recognised as a major pioneering force within the tourism industry on the South American continent.
