Club La Serena

The resort and its setting

Club La Serena is an independent, exchange-affiliated resort right on Av. del Mar in Coquimbo, within the greater La Serena–Coquimbo coastal area of Chile's Coquimbo Region. Guests consistently mention the ocean views, and the property itself is laid-back rather than formal, with a restaurant, a pool, a tennis court, a bar and free parking on site. With a 4.4 out of 5 rating from well over 2,500 reviews, it's a well-established option in an area that draws steady year-round visitor traffic thanks to its coastal setting and reliable weather.

The area and things to do

Coquimbo and neighbouring La Serena form one of the most visited stretches of coastline in northern Chile, known for sandy beaches, seafood restaurants and a relaxed harbour-town atmosphere in Coquimbo itself, alongside the more colonial character of La Serena a short distance away. The region is also one of Chile's premier destinations for stargazing, thanks to the clear, dry desert skies that have made it home to major astronomical observatories. Visitors typically split their time between the beachfront promenade (Av. del Mar), local markets, and day trips inland to the Elqui Valley, known for pisco production and dark-sky tourism.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Club La Serena and no longer use it, you can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. This is an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, your listing is visible to buyers and renters searching for this resort, and interested parties contact you directly through the platform. No commission is taken on a sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to post their week.

Because Club La Serena is an independent, exchange-affiliated resort, any resale transfer is handled through the resort's own owners' association or management office rather than through a branded developer programme. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, both parties should confirm directly with the resort what the current transfer fee is, whether the resort or association holds a right of first refusal on the sale, and what the current annual maintenance fee is set at, since these figures are set and updated by the resort itself and aren't something a private marketplace can quote on your behalf. A resale buyer typically receives the right to use the specific week and unit type purchased, subject to the resort's usage rules; they do not automatically inherit any prior owner's exchange history or accumulated points, and should ask the resort to confirm exactly what is and isn't included before completing a purchase.

Club La Serena is noted as RCI-affiliated, which may be relevant to buyers who exchange their weeks for stays elsewhere — but any ongoing exchange enrolment is separate from the resale transaction itself and should be confirmed with RCI or the resort directly.

Practical notes for buyers and renters

Renters searching for a week at Club La Serena are generally looking for coastal proximity, the on-site pool and restaurant, and the convenience of free parking — all features the resort confirms in its own listing details. Given the resort's location directly on Av. del Mar, ocean-facing views are a key draw, so it's worth asking a seller or the resort directly which unit types or weeks come with a sea view versus a garden or street-facing outlook. As with any resale timeshare purchase, buyers should confirm the exact week number, unit size and any outstanding annual fees before completing a transaction.
