Today, Solstice revealed that it will be increasing its prices next month. This is something we’ve seen happen in almost all of the key destination clubs in recent months. Prospective members would do well to hasten their decision-making process, if Solstice is on the short list.

Solstice also announced its plan to add more than $50 million to its portfolio by the end of 2008.

From November 15, 2007, the deposit required for the Signature membership will increase to $615 000, and the deposit required for the Platinum membership will increase to $975 000. Sky memberships, which require a membership deposit of $1.95 million, are on a waiting list.

Solstice reports rapid growth over the summer, adding 24% to its membership base. Tim Wolff, chairman of the Solstice board, on the company’s growth:

“With three-quarters of new Solstice members coming from direct referrals since the beginning of the year, member satisfaction is high and confirms the demand for our combination of artisanal homes paired with personalized services.”
