Artisan Vacation Club Coming to San Miguel

Artisan Riveiera Maya

Interval International, a prominent worldwide provider of vacation services and an operating business of Interval Leisure Group (Nasdaq: IILG), announced the affiliation of Artisan Vacation Club, a points-based club with four luxury resorts in highly demanded vacation destinations in Mexico. The concept, combining mixed-use resorts in beach and urban locations, was the brainchild of Manuel Perez Alpuche, whose two decades of experience in the vacation ownership industry includes developing some of Mexico's most luxurious vacation clubs.

“As the leisure travel market continues to grow in Mexico, this is a wonderful opportunity to increase our presence in a variety of appealing settings, from the iconic beaches of Playa del Carmen to the Spanish Colonial streets of San Miguel de Allende,” said Alpuche, president at Artisan Vacation Club. “Interval’s executives shared our vision for creating a distinctive portfolio highlighting Mexico's diverse cultural treasures and provided invaluable guidance every step of the way. We are thankful for their expertise and ongoing support.”

“Artisan Vacation Club has developed an outstanding product that provides travelers with the quality and flexibility they are seeking,” noted Marcos Agostini, Interval’s senior vice president of resort sales and business development for Latin America. “Its beautifully appointed properties receive excellent reviews, and we look forward to supporting the expansion of a brand increasingly recognized for its exceptional service and attention to detail.”

In the planning stages, Artisan San Miguel Allende will be six blocks from The Jardin, or main square, of the celebrated Spanish Colonial town of San Miguel de Allende. The UNESCO World Heritage Site in the foothills of the Sierra Madre, three hours north of Mexico City, was voted "The World's Best City" by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler magazine in 2013. This 80-unit property will include a swimming pool, bar, restaurants, concierge, complimentary parking, and wireless Internet.
