Shanghai SunIsland International Club

The resort and its setting

Shanghai SunIsland International Club is located on Shentai Road in the Shenxiang area of Qingpu District, on Shanghai's western fringe. Qingpu is a quieter, greener stretch of the city, known for its lakes, canal towns and golf courses — a welcome change of pace from the skyscrapers of the city centre. The resort carries a Google rating of 4.5 out of 5, albeit based on a small number of reviews, and is affiliated with Interval International, meaning owners here have access to that exchange network alongside use of their own unit. As an independent property rather than a branded chain resort, SunIsland operates through its own on-site management and owners' association rather than a large international hotel group.

The area and things to do

Qingpu is best known for Zhujiajiao, one of the Shanghai region's famous water towns, with its stone bridges, canals and old street markets — a popular day trip for residents and visitors alike. The district is also home to several golf courses and the Dianshan Lake area, a favourite weekend escape for Shanghai residents looking for open water and greenery without leaving the city limits. From Qingpu, central Shanghai — with the Bund, Yu Garden and the city's metro network — is easily reached by car or train, making SunIsland a reasonable base for owners who want a slower-paced stay with the option of a day in the city centre.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Shanghai SunIsland International Club and no longer use it, you can list it for sale or for rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. This is an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you directly through the platform, and there's no commission taken on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Because SunIsland is an independent resort, resale typically goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a branded resale desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth contacting the resort directly to confirm the current transfer fee and the annual maintenance fee, as these aren't published figures and vary by unit and week. Ask specifically whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, how long a transfer typically takes to process once a sale is agreed, and exactly what the buyer receives — usage rights for the week in question, and in some cases continued access to the Interval International exchange affiliation, but not necessarily any back credits, points, or benefits tied to your own ownership history.

Renters, for their part, are usually looking for straightforward practicalities: which week or season is on offer, unit size and sleeping capacity, and whether the week can be exchanged or must be used as-is at the resort. Being upfront about these details in your listing will save time for both sides.

Practical notes

Qingpu's climate follows the Shanghai pattern — hot, humid summers and cooler, damper winters, with spring and autumn generally the most comfortable times to visit the water towns and lake areas nearby. If you're arranging a rental, let the renter know the resort's full address (Shentai Road, Shenxiang area, Qingpu District) so they can plan their route from central Shanghai or from Hongqiao or Pudong airport.
