Afini is pleased to introduce today a new definition of luxury travel through the launch of Asia’s only luxury destination club. Based on the proven success of similar models in America, Afini is a members-only club that provides Asia’s affluent travellers with numerous privileges, including access to a diverse portfolio of multi-million dollar private residences located in top resorts; partnerships with iconic hotel brands in major metropolitan markets; exclusive access to premier events; and customized benefits available for use at any time. Afini’s greatest value is created through its service, as members receive a dedicated, highly trained Lifestyle Consultant who personalize every component of a trip before departure, and an on-site concierge who ensures each detail is perfectly executed, allowing members to travel stress-free and to create unforgettable experiences with family and friends – all at an exceptional value.
To enjoy Afini, members pay a one-time initiation, an annual renewal fee and then discounted nightly rates, with no limits on the amount of days traveled. To commemorate its launch, Afini is offering a limited number of founder memberships at a reduced initiation fee.
Exquisite Residences at Exceptional Value
Afini’s curated residences are situated in prime beach, mountain and city destinations. Ideal for families and groups, Afini residences are beautifully appointed, have multiple bedrooms with plenty of space for everyone to enjoy, along with luxurious amenities such as private pools, Italian linens, a proprietary package of operating supplies designed to ensure a consistent experience across properties, and access to nearby resorts or clubs. For occasions when larger villa accommodations are not required, or to give members access to remote destinations, Afini has secured exclusive partnerships with iconic hotels, ensuring that our members have access to a wide range of only the best properties and locations. As Afini controls and manages its residence collection exclusively, only members can book these properties at nightly rates averaging 15% – 45% below market rates.
Solid Leadership and Financial Backing
Afini boasts a leadership core that is unrivalled in the travel industry and traces its evolution to the established and successful luxury destination clubs concept in America.
