Interval International, a prominent worldwide provider of vacation services, announced the affiliation of the Lifestyle Luxury Vacation Club in Dubai, a leisure and business hub in the United Arab Emirates. The club includes four resort properties that offer members beachfront and urban experiences in this multicultural city known for its architecture, shopping, and nightlife.
Lifestyle Luxury Vacation Club is a joint venture between Lifestyle Properties Group in the Dominican Republic and Dubai-based Al Habtoor Group, one of the region’s most respected conglomerates with interests in the hospitality, automotive, real estate, education, and publishing sectors. Al Habtoor is also the founder of the prestigious Dubai Polo Gold Cup Series.
Club members have access to accommodations at all four properties, along with a host of benefits such as complimentary private airport transfers, free shuttle service between resorts, various VIP treatments, and discounts at beach clubs and restaurants.
“The Lifestyle Luxury Vacation Club, a new membership club model in Dubai, brings together two highly respected developers with impressive track records in one of the world’s fastest-growing cities,” said Marcos Agostini, Interval’s senior vice president of global business development. “We are thrilled to include these spectacular properties in our global exchange network.”
On world-famous Jumeirah Beach in the heart of the prestigious Dubai Marina district, the 446-unit Habtoor Grand Resort has several swimming pools, a beach club, a full-service spa, nine restaurants and bars, and a large open-air nightclub. Elegant contemporary-style units include sleek marble bathrooms, high- speed Wi-Fi, satellite TV, and 24-hour room service.
“We are honored to offer our club members access to Interval’s high-quality network of resorts for exchange,” said Daniel Ferra, CEO of Lifestyle Luxury Vacation Club. “We are also very excited to welcome Interval members to what we consider to be one of the most exceptional cities in the world. Our outstanding collection of properties is the perfect entrée to Dubai’s unique blend of history and world-class luxury.”
The V Hotel Dubai is integrated in Habtoor City, an entertainment complex with 23 multicultural restaurants and bars, two nightclubs, and “La Perle,” a spectacular production featuring 65 actors and acrobats performing aquatic and aerial stunts in an aquatic theater. The hotel’s bold modern design is on display at every facet of the property, from its 30th-floor reception area to its 354 units featuring round beds, backlit spaces, and spectacular splashes of color. Club members can enjoy several swimming pools, multiple restaurants, deluxe spas, 24- hour gym at the resort or the neighboring Hilton Dubai.

The 338- unit resort combines minimalist design with Middle Eastern hospitality. On-site amenities include several restaurants and bars, a rooftop swimming pool and fitness facilities.
Andalusian-style Al Habtoor Polo Resort is the centerpiece of a 138-acre equestrian community 20 minutes from downtown Dubai. State-of-the-art facilities include a Polo Academy, Riding School, 520 stables, and two international-sized arenas, as well as a swimming pool, tennis courts, golf driving range, gym, full-service spa, and six restaurants and bars within the resort.
