I have just added details of two very interesting fractional opportunities to ReachTogether.
London Fractions sources fractional property in some of London’s most sought after locations.
Zwahili Private Game reserve offers the opportunity to purchase a fraction of a luxury lodge or boutique hotel from R 350,000. With the current exchange rate of approximately R 15/£ or R 8 /USD this is a very attractive offer.

Work started this week on Ritz Carlton’s Kauai Lagoons development which includes some fractional units. Fractional prices will start from $300,000 and first occupancy is scheduled for late 2009. Following text taken from developer’s website:
“
Over 520 acres of land on the ocean’s shore, minutes from the airport, walking distance to waterfront restaurants and Kalapaki Beach and the perfect location to launch an adventure to any corner of Kaua‘i. A Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf experience. A meandering 38-acre lagoon where one can in the same moment enjoy the sight of a classic Chris-Craft motorboat cruising and the landing of a flock of native waterfowl. Kaua‘i Lagoons is indeed “breathtaking.”
To own a Residence at the Kaua‘i Lagoons Resort is to embrace a rare opportunity to be a part of something very unique. The perfect setting to spend a week, a month, or a lifetime. A legacy.
Kaua‘i Lagoons will be a very special place to call home.”
See Ritz-Carlton or the original news story for more details.

Financing arrangements are always important with fractionals, as this is one of the areas that has held back the growth of the fractional market. Need to watch this space to see how successful this is.
