Why?
Why is 'Vacation Membership' different to Timeshare?
Genuine timeshare is a potentially fantastic concept because it offers flexibility and affordability. However, Vacation Membership goes beyond this by filling in the gaps, expanding on the overall concept, and setting new standards you deserve and that only Anfi can achieve. Vacation Membership is what, in an ideal world, timeshare should have been.
At Anfi, excellence and values are not only maintained, but continually improved upon. Our core values are to offer security, customer satisfaction, service, quality, integrity and innovation.
Membership should not be seen as an investment for financial gain. It is an investment in your life, your family, and your future holiday experiences.

Anfi is one of the leading Vacation Membership resorts in Europe. It’s easy to see why. The standards are unequalled and have earned Anfi its reputation for superior quality, luxury and exceptional services.
