The seeds of Sunterra took root on the Price family farm over fifty years ago in Acme, AB. With gratitude for land that has been in their family for decades, the Price family decided to name their company after the very things that helped nourish their business - the sun and the earth - and Sunterra was born.
Join our growing Sunterra Family and be part of a team where your contributions are valued and makes the difference. Just like finishing a hard day's work on the farm, working for Sunterra will provide you with a sense of ownership, pride, and the satisfaction of a job well done.
