Ownership Membership
Own your weeks at the aparthotels you love
A 1/12 share gives you 4 weeks every year in a professionally run apartment — paid once, booked in a calendar, yours to gift or resell. No mortgage, no repairs, no letting agent.
- Pay in full by card, bank debit or transfer
- 14-day cooling-off, full refund
- Book, gift or resell your weeks
- Payments secured by Stripe
Ownership Membership is a prepaid right to stay — not equity, not real estate, no share of the property's value or income, and not an investment. One standard contract, 14-day cooling-off. Read the risks.

Properties open to members
The first properties are joining now
We open each property once its operator has committed units and its price has been set from real nightly rates. Leave your email and we'll tell you when memberships open — no obligation.
What one share means
Each apartment-year is split into 12 shares. A share is your right to 4 weeks (28 nights) in that apartment type every membership year, for as long as the membership is in good standing. Buy more shares for more weeks.

Priced from real rates, shown in full
Every property page shows how its price is built: the property's own public nightly rates over the coming year and, where available, a sourced price per m² for the city. You also see the annual service fee and how many years of stays it takes before the membership costs less than booking the same weeks nightly.

Ownership Membership questions
What exactly do I buy?
A contractual right to stay 4 weeks (28 nights) every membership year at one partner property, per share, with no end date. Each unit is shared by up to 12 members. A prepaid right to stay — not equity, not real estate, no share of the property's value or income, and not an investment.
Is this a timeshare or real estate?
It is a prepaid stay membership. You don't own any part of the building, you don't receive rent or income, and the property doesn't appear on any title deed. You buy guaranteed time at a place you like, run by a professional operator.
How do I pay?
In full, in one payment, by card or by bank debit or transfer through Stripe. There are no loans and no instalment plans. Your weeks become bookable as soon as the payment clears.
What does it cost each year?
From the first anniversary, an annual service fee (typically 3% of your membership price; the exact figure is on each property page and in your contract). Most of it goes to the operator for running your weeks. While the fee is unpaid, new weeks can't be booked.
How do I book my weeks?
In the member calendar. Pick any open week between the minimum notice and the booking window shown for the property. The operator confirms within 72 hours (it is confirmed automatically if they don't answer). Peak weeks may carry a surcharge or be excluded — it's stated up front.
Can I give a week to someone else?
Yes. Change the guest name on any reserved week and we notify the property. The week still counts towards your own allowance.
Can I sell my membership later?
You can list it on the member marketplace at a price you choose; when someone buys it, the membership and any upcoming weeks transfer to them and you receive the price minus a 2.5% fee. There is no guarantee that anyone will buy, or at what price, and we give no price guidance.
What if I change my mind?
You can cancel within 14 days of signing for a full refund, as long as no week has been used.
What if the property leaves the programme?
Confirmed weeks are honoured, and the operator must give 12 months' notice before withdrawing units. You then choose an equivalent property in the same city or a pro-rata credit for stays booked through aparthotel.com.
Unused weeks?
Weeks don't roll over to the next membership year. If you can't use a week, gift it or offer it to other members on the marketplace.
