Interval International, a prominent worldwide provider of
vacation services and an operating business of Interval Leisure
Group (Nasdaq: IILG), announced the addition to its global vacation
exchange network of the shared ownership component of Marina Golf
Rapel, a mixed-use resort located in central Chile. A popular
travel destination, the country features a diverse landscape
composed of spectacular glaciers, vast deserts, lush rainforests,
fertile vineyards, and unspoiled beaches.
“Interval’s technology and expertise were instrumental in
helping us launch our fractional ownership program,” said Ricardo
Devoto, general manager of Marina Golf Rapel. “Sales at the resort
have exceeded our expectations and we expect that this will
continue owing to our product’s appeal to potential vacation
owners.”
Marina Golf Rapel is situated in the city of Las Cabras, 87
miles south of Santiago, in the Cachapoal Valley wine-growing
region. The property will include 39 three-bedroom fractional
units, 21 of which are currently available and 18 that are slated
for completion next year. Housed in two modern towers, units will
have open-plan layouts with a living and dining area, fully
equipped kitchens, bathrooms with modern finishes, and balconies
offering scenic views.
“With regional travel growing there is a need for more shared
ownership resorts in Chile and surrounding countries, which is why
we are excited to welcome Marina Golf to our network,” said Marcos
Agostini, Interval’s senior vice president of resort sales and
business development for Latin America. “The property will offer
our members an exciting new vacation option, with a wide array of
leisure amenities and activities within driving distance to
Santiago.”
The property is set on 320 acres on the shore of Lake Rapel, a
25-mile reservoir created in 1968 with the construction of the
Rapel River dam, and is one of the largest lakes in Chile. Among
the planned amenities are a restaurant with a lake view, gym, golf
club with nine-hole golf course, outdoor swimming pool, private
beach and marina, and tennis court. Planned services include a
kid’s program, concierge, room service, and housekeeping.
Activities available onsite and nearby will include numerous
water sports, a spa, as well as horseback riding, biking, trekking,
and others. Members and guests will also be able to visit other
attractions such as the Las Palmas de Cocalán National Park,
Cauquenes natural hot springs, old colonial town of Santa Cruz, as
well as the renowned vineyards in the region.
