How to make your leisure investment work for you: Tips from Beekman Group

Investing in leisure can be incredibly rewarding. Here are some tips to maximise your returns and your vacation home from Beekman Group and the properties within our Beekman Managed Portfolio.

1. Understanding how Sectional Title ownership works

Begin by exploring and researching what Sectional Title ownership is. This involves understanding the legal framework, rights, responsibilities, and benefits associated with owning a Sectional Title unit in a resort within the Beekman Managed Portfolio.

This foundational knowledge will help you make informed decisions as you move forward in the process, including the responsibilities of rates, levies and other expenses.

Purchasing within our leisure destinations requires only a 15% deposit and you have the option of paying the balance interest free within 12 months or exploring our favourable finance options.

Through our agreement, as the owner, you hold a Sectional Title deed for your purchased villa/suite.

2. Visit the resort you wish to purchase at

Once you’ve set your heart on our Invest in Leisure portfolio, we strongly advise visiting the resort you wish to purchase at. Our dedicated agents will welcome you with warm hospitality. Talk with them about which unit types are popular, how often the unit is booked and the facilities available. By gathering all this vital information, you can make an informed purchase decision.

If you are already a seasoned guest at our world-class resorts at Cayley Mountain Resort, The Kingdom Resort or San Martinho Beach Club then you will be familiar with the resort layout, facilities, guests and potential returns.  Taking the next step to own your leisure property investment will allow you to enjoy these exceptional facilities at any time of the year, while also benefiting from a smart investment opportunity.

3. Leverage our professional management

One of the key benefits of investing in leisure properties through Beekman Group is our professional rental management solution. Our team handles bookings, maintenance, and marketing, ensuring your property remains in excellent condition and generates consistent rental income. This also maintains the standard of our world-class resort accommodation across the board and gives you a hassle-free, day-to-day experience.

4. Understand your leisure benefits

The joy of owning a leisure property is that you can return to it again and again for holidays, birthdays, anniversaries and special occasions. You are able to easily use up to 14 weeks personal use of your holiday property, and exchange your weeks with up to 3 600 global resorts. You can also arrange for friends and family to use your weeks.

5. Understanding your returns

Your returns will be paid monthly to you, based on pooled and divided earnings of each unit type within each resort. Through our returns structure, your returns are calculated each month based on seasonality, occupancy and expenses. You have the potential to earn up to an average net 12% annual return.

6. Monitor and optimise rental performance

Stay informed about the performance of your property. Beekman Group provides monthly communication, helping you track income and expenses. Regularly reviewing these reports allows you to make informed decisions about your investment.

7. Exchange your weeks at other resorts in the Beekman Managed Portfolio

Through our exclusive exchange partner, iExchange, you can trade your annual allocation of weeks for stays at other resorts within our network in the Beekman Managed Portfolio. Your resort options include both local and international destinations, increasing the overall value and enjoyment of your investment.

After reviewing our 7 simple steps, it is clear to see that investing in leisure property is a smart move to diversify your investment portfolio, especially when you invest in a property within our Beekman Managed Portfolio.
