What exactly will I own?
You own a defined share in a portfolio of KIAANI homes through a specific holding company structure — giving you ownership, usage rights and participation in their long-term value.

How is ownership structured and protected legally?
Each KIAANI portfolio sits within a dedicated legal structure that defines ownership, usage, governance, management and exit — ensuring clarity and protection for all owners. The background legal and contractual framework has been established for our clients to have simplicity of entry, exit and optimal tax efficiency.

Is this the same as timeshare?
No. Timeshares typically sell time, offering limited usage rights for fixed periods. KIAANI owners own the properties with flexible usage, professional management and clear exit options.

Why a portfolio approach instead of single-asset ownership?
Our curated, multi-destination assets provide built-in diversification, usage flexibility and broader experiential optionality.

How are homes selected?
Homes are chosen for location, airport access, underlying quality, design integrity and long-term value.  KIAANI prioritises destinations with proven demand, strong growth fundamentals and enduring appeal — not short-term trends.

What renovations or upgrades are undertaken?
KIAANI focuses on design-led and future-proofing enhancements — layout optimisation, experience-driven additions, modern comforts, personal storage and environmental upgrades — while respecting the character of each home.

What level of service can I expect during my stay?
Owners can expect a curated hospitality-led experience in a private home setting. This includes pre-arrival preparation, professional housekeeping, concierge support and access to curated local experiences.

Are there additional fees?
Ongoing management, concierge, maintenance and operating expenses are shared across properties and charged equally to owners on an annual basis. These are transparently disclosed, with no surprise charges, ensuring simplicity and predictability for owners.

How does the usage system work?
Each owner is allotted 9.4 weeks per year to use the portfolio of properties, bookable through a fair-use reservation system. 

Beyond this allocation, owners may take advantage of any unutilised availability within the portfolio. Additional stays and booking extensions can be made at short notice.  There is no limit to this additional usage, provided bookings align with the established reservation framework and do not conflict with confirmed bookings by other owners.

Is time allocation truly fair and equitable?
Yes. Structured rules and rotation mechanisms ensure an equitable balance of use, ensuring no single owner dominates peak periods over time.

What if two owners want the same week?
In high-demand situations, bookings are resolved through pre-agreed allocation rules, ensuring outcomes remain fair and transparent over time.

What are the annual costs?
Shared costs cover ongoing management, maintenance, operations, insurance and administration, with full transparency.

What happens at the end of the eight-year investment term? 
At the end of the eight-year term, owners have the opportunity to exit the portfolio collectively and realise the capital gains from their investment.  Current value is calculated at the portfolio level rather than on individual homes.

Sales proceeds and capital gains are distributed to owners in accordance with their ownership interests.
