Malibu Village

The Resort and Its Setting

Malibu Village is an independently run timeshare property in Canet-en-Roussillon, on France's Catalan coast in the Occitanie region. It's affiliated with RCI, meaning owners can deposit their week into the RCI exchange network and trade it for stays at other RCI resorts rather than returning to Canet-en-Roussillon every year. The resort suits owners who want a Mediterranean base without the price tag or crowds of the French Riviera further east.

Canet-en-Roussillon and the Surrounding Area

Canet-en-Roussillon is a genuine working beach town rather than a resort bubble: a long sandy beach right in town, a harbour, and a promenade lined with cafés and seasonal markets. It sits close to both the Spanish border and the Pyrenees, so a week here can mix beach days with day trips inland. Perpignan, about 18 km away, has a proper old town built around the Palace of the Kings of Majorca, and the Côtes du Roussillon vineyards are roughly 15 km inland for owners or renters who fancy a tasting. Collioure, the Fauvist painters' fishing village, is a 25 km drive down the coast and is worth the detour for an afternoon.

Selling or Renting Your Week Here

Owners who no longer use their Malibu Village week can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, pay a one-off listing fee to publish the ad, and there's no commission taken when it sells or rents — buyers and renters contact you directly through the platform.

Because Malibu Village is an independent resort, resale isn't handled through a big-brand points system — transfers go through the resort's own owners' association or management company. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, sellers should contact the resort directly to confirm the current transfer fee, any right-of-first-refusal clause the association may hold, and the latest annual maintenance fee, since these details aren't published in the resort's own disclosure materials and figures change year to year. Buyers should ask for the same information before committing: what the transfer process involves, how long it typically takes to complete, and exactly what passes to them — the usage week and RCI exchange eligibility, not any past owner perks or loyalty credits that don't carry over.

If you're renting rather than selling, be upfront in your listing about the week or season on offer, whether RCI exchange rights apply to that stay, and any resort fees the renter will need to settle locally.

What Renters and Buyers Look For

Most people searching for a week at Malibu Village want straightforward beach access, a quieter alternative to the Riviera, and flexibility — either to use the week in Canet-en-Roussillon itself or to trade it through RCI for somewhere else entirely. Clear photos, accurate week/season details, and confirmation of RCI affiliation in the listing all help a resale or rental ad attract genuine enquiries.

Practical Notes

Perpignan–Rivesaltes Airport is the nearest airport, about 20 km from the resort, with connections to other European cities. A hire car is the easiest way to reach the vineyards, Perpignan and Collioure, since local buses won't cover all of them conveniently. The Mediterranean climate brings warm, dry summers and mild winters, so the resort can realistically be used or rented out across most of the year, not just in July and August.
