Discover the World of Holiday Exchanges with BMP

9 July 2025

For many South African families and travel lovers, holiday ownership is a dream come true. But what if you could take that dream even further? With the Beekman Managed Portfolio (BMP), you can. One of the biggest benefits of being a BMP member is the flexibility to exchange your holiday week and experience exciting destinations locally or globally through our strategic exchange partnerships.

Two Ways to Exchange Your Holiday Week

As a BMP member, you own a specified time, usually a week, at one or more of our luxury resorts. But instead of returning to the same location year after year, you have the freedom to bank your week and exchange it for another holiday experience, either within the Beekman Managed Portfolio or through our trusted global partner, iExchange. This gives you access to thousands of holiday destinations worldwide, without compromising on comfort, quality or value.

There are two exchange options depending on the kind of getaway you’re after.

1. BMP Home Pool Exchange

The BMP Exchange Pool gives you the freedom to holiday across some of the most sought-after regions in South Africa and Mozambique. From the golden coastlines of KwaZulu-Natal to the scenic mountains of the Free State and the wildlife-rich Lowveld of Mpumalanga, a wide variety of local getaways await. With over 130 destinations available, these cost-free exchanges offer flexibility, fresh experiences and the chance to explore new places every year.

2. iExchange International Travel

Dreaming bigger? iExchange gives you access to over 3 200 destinations across the globe. Exchange your BMP week for a ski lodge in Austria, a beachfront escape in Thailand or a countryside retreat in Tuscany. You’ll receive Points based on your unit’s value and banking date, which you can then use to plan your international holiday.

Why Holiday Exchanges Are a Game Changer

While holiday ownership may traditionally seem rigid, our innovative model puts flexibility and convenience at the forefront. BMP holiday exchanges are ideal for families, couples and solo travellers alike. Offering both the comfort of a ‘holiday home’ and the freedom to explore new destinations.

Here’s why so many of our BMP owners choose to exchange:

  • Flexible travel planning
    You are not locked into the same week or resort every year. You can plan your holidays around school breaks, special occasions or travel trends.
  • Great value for money
    Enjoy world-class holidays without the high costs typically associated with luxury travel.
  • Access to premium resorts
    Whether it’s the spa at Cayley Mountain Resort, the water activities at The Kingdom Resort, or exploring international hotspots, exceptional quality is always part of the experience.

How the Exchange Process Works

Exchanging your week is simple and convenient thanks to our incredible customer support team.

  • 1. Contact BMP
    Let our team know you’d like to bank your week. We’ll guide you through the process.
  • 2. Points Allocation
    Once banked, you’ll receive Points based on your unit’s value and how early you bank. The earlier you bank, the more Points you’ll receive.
  • 3. Plan Your Next Holiday
    Use your Points to book your next holiday through iExchange or exchange within the BMP local resort portfolio.
