Holiday camp development timeshare

Butlins the holiday camp company is preparing to woo holidaymakers into a ‘lifetime’ of holidays with a timeshare development.

The company is developing luxury sea-view timeshare apartments at its holiday centre at Minehead in Somerset, with building work set for completion in March next year.

For just £6,000 the new company called BlueSkies will offer a lifetime of family holiday breaks in May. August naturally turns out a little more expensive at £11,000. A ‘lifetime’ holiday turns out to be 30 years, plenty some would say when one week seems like a nightmare, but a dream opportunity for others perhaps.

Head of the BlueSkies development Mike Crowther said: "BlueSkies is holiday heaven for the growing number of people who enjoy the fun and convenience of a UK family break. Second homes and holiday apartments are an unattainable dream for many people as they can be expensive to buy, maintain and manage."

Timeshare owners will get an apartment set apart from the main Butlins holiday camp at Minehead in Somerset.

However, the scheme will be run on a points basis allowing shorter breaks at peak times to be swapped for longer holidays at other times of the year. This is typical of many timeshare schemes and BlueSkies has teamed up with specialist timeshare operator RCI to allow members to exchange the points with other timeshare owners around the world.
