Ownership
The owner rental program
When you're not in residence, the resort looks after your villa and rents it alongside its own.
Secret Bay is a working resort, a member of Relais & Châteaux with Two MICHELIN Keys (secretbay.dm). Owners can place their villa in the resort's rental program, so it's booked, serviced and maintained by the same team that runs the rest of the resort.
Two ways to own
| In the rental program | Maintenance, resort fees, insurance and the furniture reserve are covered by the program. You keep set owner weeks each year (14 weeks on Secret Bay's 2025 Waterfront terms) and pay the residential levy. |
|---|---|
| Outside the program | Use your villa up to 10 months a year and pay the running costs yourself. |
What we will and won't say
Rental income depends on bookings and is not guaranteed. Secret Bay notes that in a period of exceptionally low occupancy, owners may become responsible for some fees. Secret Bay states that it has distributed over US$3M in net income to owners since 2019. Fee coverage and distributions depend on market conditions and villa performance, and payments may vary.
Exchange
Owner weeks can be traded through ThirdHome, and for Cliffside villas also through Interval International.
