Holiday Club Naantali Residence

The resort and its setting

Holiday Club Naantali Residence is a timeshare property run by Holiday Club, one of the larger vacation ownership brands operating in Finland. The resort is located on Venevalkamantie in Naantali, a short stroll from the town's harbour and marina, and is listed under both "lodging" and "spa" categories, reflecting the kind of stay it's set up for — restful, self-catered breaks rather than a city-centre hotel experience. Units are described as well-appointed, with quality furnishings and full kitchen facilities in select apartments, making the resort a good fit for families or couples wanting a proper home base rather than a single hotel room. With a 4.1 out of 5 rating from 154 reviewers, it has a solid, consistent track record among past guests.

Naantali and the surrounding area

Naantali is one of Finland's most recognisable small coastal towns, known for its wooden Old Town, its marina, and its role as the gateway to the southwestern archipelago. The resort's harbour-side location means owners and renters can walk to the marina and town centre, and from there explore the archipelago by boat. Families travelling with children will also know Naantali as home to Moomin World, the theme park based on Tove Jansson's Moomin characters, located right in the town. Turku, Finland's former capital and home to the medieval Turku Castle, is around 20 km away and makes for an easy day trip for history and city culture. The wider region is built around the archipelago itself — hundreds of islands, bridges and ferry routes that reward slow exploration by boat, bike or on foot.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Holiday Club Naantali Residence and are ready to move it on — or simply want to rent it out for a season — BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct owner-to-buyer marketplace rather than a broker. You set your own asking price, buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform, and there's no commission taken on the sale: sellers pay a one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Because this is a resale rather than a purchase straight from Holiday Club, it's worth confirming directly with Holiday Club what the current transfer process involves before you agree on a price with a buyer — specifically, whether there's a transfer or resale administration fee, whether Holiday Club (or the owners' association) holds any right of first refusal on the week, and how long a transfer typically takes to complete once a buyer is found. None of these figures are published here, so treat them as questions to put to Holiday Club directly, and pass on written confirmation to your buyer once you have it. A resale buyer should also be clear from the outset that they're purchasing the usage rights to the week itself, not any loyalty points, promotional stays, or other perks tied to the original owner's account — these typically don't transfer.

Exchange network

Holiday Club Naantali Residence is confirmed as an RCI-affiliated resort. For owners and buyers, this means the week can potentially be deposited into RCI's exchange network for a stay elsewhere, subject to RCI's own membership and exchange terms — a point worth highlighting to prospective buyers if flexibility to travel elsewhere matters to them.

Practical notes for buyers and renters

Renters and buyers evaluating this resort should weigh up Naantali's strongly seasonal character: the town and archipelago are at their best from June to August, when Finland's long daylight hours make for easy coastal walks, boat trips, and visits to Moomin World, while the shoulder months either side are quieter and better suited to those wanting a calmer, off-peak stay. Helsinki and Turku airports both sit within reasonable driving distance of Naantali, so check which week you own and whether it falls in high season before pricing a sale or setting a rental rate — peak summer weeks are generally the easiest to place with buyers and renters alike.
