Discover Collection is a Global Members’ Community that offers curated stays at properties and locally rooted experiences in some of the world’s most breathtaking and unique locations, all whilst leaving a light footprint for future generations to come. By joining, members (Members) become part of that community (Membership) guided by the Membership Rules (as defined below). Members agree to uphold the Membership Rules, which protect the integrity of this collective – a place to connect, grow and belong alongside other like-minded individuals who see the world differently.
Membership is governed by the official Membership Rules, as determined and updated from time to time at Discover Collection’s sole discretion. These rules, which will be first made available to members on our website (www.discovercollection.com) in November 2025, provide further details, rights, responsibilities, and conditions applicable to all Members and authorised guests. Members are invited to check these rules from time to time.
Discover Collection is committed to providing equal access to the Membership and treatment to all Members regardless of race, colour, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, political affiliation, or other protected characteristics. We comply with all applicable civil rights and anti-discrimination laws.
All prospective Members are required to submit a formal application for review by the Membership Committee. Applications must be submitted through the official channels provided by Discover Collection. Discover Collection does not accept applications via third parties or social media platforms. All applications within the same category will be evaluated using objective criteria: (1) completion of all required application materials, (2) payment of required fees, (3) agreement to abide by Membership Rules and properties’ house rules, and (4) background check clearance, including criminal history review where legally permitted. Membership decisions are made at the sole discretion of Discover Collection.
To help craft a truly personalised and meaningful experience, applicants are encouraged to share as much information as they feel comfortable with. By understanding Members’ interests and preferences, journeys can be tailored within Discover Collection and the Membership community. All personal information is voluntary and collected only for service enhancement purposes in accordance with applicable data privacy regulations.
Member Referrals
Applications may also be submitted through a referral by an existing Member. All referrals are thoughtfully reviewed and vetted by the Membership Committee to ensure alignment with Membership Rules. All referral applications will be evaluated using identical objective criteria as other Membership applications within the same category.
