Madeira
Resorts
The beautiful island of Madeira, known as the ‘Jewel of the Atlantic’, is situated 600kms off the coast
of Morocco and is easily reached with direct flights
from major European airports.
The islands natural landscape is truly breathtaking,
with over two thirds of the island being protected,
and a large expanse of forest declared by UNESCO as
a Natural World Heritage Site. The dramatic contrast
between alpine lush green mountains and the balmy
temperatures along the coast makes the island a
surprisingly rich place to explore.
Madeira offers visitors a tranquil oasis with the
assurance of safety and relaxation. Temperatures
are mild even in winter, averaging a balmy 25ºc in
the summer and 18ºc in winter.
The capital city Funchal has a vibrant culture, with
a wide choice of museums, a colourful fish and fruit
market, exotic sub-tropical gardens, a good choice
of shopping venues and an excellent selection of
restaurants that cater to most palettes. The sea has
influenced the delicious cuisine of Madeira, and
enjoying the Portuguese wines and especially the
famous Madeira Wine is an unforgettable experience.

Algarve
Resorts
The Algarve with its mild climate, abundant sun and gentle
rain, make this a region where there is a wide variety of
plants and animals, many of which are indigenous to the
region and fill it with sounds, colours and aromas that are
well worth taking some time to appreciate.
The region has a wide range of different areas where
nature is still to be found in an essentially pure state.
These protected areas are where animals and plants are
kept safe from the dangers of modern life and are visited
by migratory birds.
Countless species of birds, some of them extremely rare,
and others that are in danger of extinction, concentrate in
the Algarve countryside and can be easily observed by
nature lovers.
Portugal is a country with a rich culture, and each region
has its own particularities. This is certainly the case with
the Algarve, where you can see people’s way of living
through their arts and music and confirm how different
they are from other Portuguese regions.
Even today, you can still see the Moorish influences and the
legacy of five centuries of Arab rule. Just look at the
ceramics, the flat woven baskets, the chimneys with the
their varied shapes and designs.
The local culture and many of its representing works are
preserved in museums, churches and castles in the major
coastal centres and in smaller inland towns.

Things to see and do in the
Algarve
The diversity of its nature is one of the great strengths of the Algarve region of
Portugal. It is so easy to move between differing environments, each with a range
of nuances on a similar theme of natural beauty. From the coast up to the hills,
there is a wide range of landscapes to explore, each of them special in their own
way.
With its mild climate, abundant sun and gentle rain, the Algarve has long
established itself as a Mecca for sports lovers, especially golfers. It was the
legendary Henry Cotton who put the region on the golfing map. Since the opening
of Penina course he designed back in the sixties, more than 30 more courses have
been created along the length of the Algarve. Many are of championship standard
and provide players with a real challenge.
If you have to cater for young children then the Algarve has many attractions and
options to keep the kids happy and wanting to return again and again. If you enjoy
exploring, then the region has many hidden treasures and its close proximity to
Spain means that historic cities such as Seville are just a couple of hours drive
away.

quality vacation resort companies, who, like Pestana, feel that
their members do not necessarily enjoy the level of exchange
options and availability through the more traditional vacation
exchange providers. On an increasing level, many of these
resorts are happy to offer an informal, private exchange option
to our Pestana Vacation Club members.

Do you have more questions regarding the Loyalty initiative?
Below find a number of commonly asked queries and their answers
Frequently Asked Questions
1.Where can I Exchange to as a member?
This depends on how many Pestana weeks you own. Our resorts in Madeira, Algarve and Brazil
are available to all members. Selected resorts are available to Gold level members.
Platinum and Prestige members can choose from the full range of Partners.
2. How much does it cost to become a Loyalty member?
A registration fee is payable at the time of enrolment, this cost depends on the number of weeks owned
and it covers the entire length of the lease.
3. What are the annual costs of membership?
There are NO annual membership fees to pay. Once registered, you only pay for your exchanges, which is
at a much lower rate than through P.E.N (Pestana Exchange Network)
4. How late can I request an exchange?
Exchange requests can be made up to 7 working days before the check in date, subject of
course to availability.
5. How far in the future can I Bank my week?
Members can bank their weeks up to a maximum of 2 years prior to their starting date.
6. What are Pestana bonus weeks?
These are weeks at Pestana resorts that are predominately in Mid and Low season periods, that can be
booked by Gold, Platinum and Prestige Loyalty members for just the cost of the relevant
resort apartment maintenance fee. Subject of course to availability,there is no limit to the number
of bonus weeks a member can request.
7. What are Partner resorts?
There are an increasing number of quality resort companies who, like us feel that their members
do not necessarily enjoy the level of quality exchange options and availability through the more
traditional holiday exchange providers. They therefore are happy to offer an informal, private
exchange option to Pestana Gold, Platinum and Prestige Loyalty members.
8. What is meant by ‘split week’ exchange?
To increase the flexibility to owners we are able at certain Pestana resorts, offer the option to split your
week’s membership into a 3 night and a 4 night stay at different times and/or locations. If you choose to
use this option you will pay the relevant exchange fee for each visit.
9. If I buy weeks at a Pestana resort privately, can I add them to Loyalty?
We regret that unless your weeks were purchased through an official Pestana agent they cannot
be used to access the P.E.N. Nor do they qualify for Loyalty benefits.
10. If I inherit a week at a Pestana Vacation Club resort, can I add it to Loyalty?
Yes, providing the week(s) was purchased from an official Pestana agent, then any week inherited can be
included in Loyalty.
11. Why is there no set discount for Web offers from the Pousada and Hotel divisions?
Each division works as a separate entity within the Group structure, their marketing structures
differ greatly from ours as they are dealing with time in a different way. Therefore it is extremely difficult
for them to offer a set level for long term discounts. Each enquiry/booking we make on your behalf will
qualify for the best discount we can obtain at the time.
