Founded in September 1977, Royal Aloha Vacation Club was a pioneer in the timeshare industry; in fact, it was the very first vacation club Plan Manager to register in the State of Hawaii. The Club’s first units were located in Waikiki at the Aloha Towers condominium and Waikiki Skytower; units were later added in Maui and Kona, Hawaii; Lake Tahoe, Nevada; Chandler, Arizona; Branson, Missouri; Otter Rock, Oregon; Acapulco, Mexico; and Nueva Andalucia, Spain. Today, Royal Aloha Vacation Club has grown to a system of over 220 units at these nine locations, and all units are owned free and clear with titles vested in Royal Aloha Vacation Club as a nonprofit Hawaii corporation. RAVC members, 8,000 strong, come from every state of the United States and some 20+ foreign countries. Some of the unique features of Royal Aloha include: Member-owned and managed, membership in perpetuity, multiple locations within a club structure with no internal exchange fee, one low annual maintenance fee with no separate bill for real property tax (unlike many other timeshare plans) and unique three-year accumulation right. Affiliations with the world's three largest exchange networks (RCI, Interval International and Dial-an-Exchange) allow RAVC members access to over 7,000 resorts across the globe.
