Lube Sol - Caminho do Abrolhos C. Sol 1

The Resort and Its Setting

Lube Sol is an independent timeshare resort with RCI affiliation, located in Nova Viçosa, a coastal town in southern Bahia state. It works like traditional vacation ownership: owners hold a week (or weeks) annually and can either use that time themselves or use RCI's exchange network to trade it for stays at other affiliated resorts worldwide. The setting is low-key by design — Nova Viçosa doesn't have the built-up resort infrastructure of places like Porto Seguro, which is part of its appeal to owners who want a genuine slice of Bahia rather than a tourist strip.

Nova Viçosa and the Southern Bahia Coast

Nova Viçosa sits directly on the Atlantic, with calm, warm-water beaches right in town. What sets the area apart is its proximity to the Abrolhos National Marine Park, roughly 70 km offshore, Brazil's oldest marine protected area and a well-known spot for snorkelling and diving among coral reefs and island wildlife. Closer to home, the surrounding Atlantic Forest remnants and coastal wetlands make for easy nature walks and birdwatching without having to travel far. This is a region for travellers happy to trade nightlife for unspoiled coastline and a slower pace.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Lube Sol and are weighing up resale or rental, it helps to understand how the process works in practice. Lube Sol is an independent resort, which means resale transfers are handled through the resort's own owners' association or management rather than a branded corporate resale desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, ask the resort or association directly for the current transfer fee and the annual maintenance fee — these figures aren't published centrally, so get written confirmation as part of your sale conversation.

On BidMyTimeshare, listing your Lube Sol week is straightforward: you set your own asking price, pay a one-time listing fee to get your week in front of buyers, and keep 100% of whatever you sell for — there's no commission taken on the sale. Interested buyers contact you directly through the platform, so you stay in control of negotiations and the final transfer paperwork, which you'll complete with the resort's association once a price is agreed.

Because Lube Sol carries RCI affiliation, it's worth highlighting clearly in your listing — buyers who already hold RCI memberships, or who want the flexibility to exchange their week for other destinations, will see real value in that. Renters, meanwhile, are typically looking for a confirmed week with clear dates, so be upfront about whether your week is fixed or floating, and what's included versus what a renter arranges independently (such as flights into Ilhéus or Porto Seguro and onward transport).

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Anyone buying a resale week at an independent resort like Lube Sol should also ask what transfers with the sale and what doesn't — for instance, whether any accumulated RCI points or banked exchange credits carry over, since these are typically tied to the original owner's account rather than the property itself. It's also worth asking about the typical timeframe for a transfer to complete through the resort's association, as this varies from property to property and isn't something BidMyTimeshare can confirm on your behalf.

For travel planning, the nearest airports are in Ilhéus and Porto Seguro, both with domestic connections to major Brazilian cities; Nova Viçosa itself is around 2–3 hours by car from Porto Seguro, so arranging ground transport ahead of arrival is worthwhile for both owners visiting their week and renters booking a stay.
