Club Laguna la Joya

The Resort & Its Setting

Club Laguna la Joya is an independent timeshare resort located in La Joya, in the Arequipa region of southern Peru's Andean highlands. It holds an RCI affiliation, meaning owners here can tap into RCI's exchange network rather than being limited to this one resort every year. The resort carries a 4.4/5 rating from 152 Google reviews, a solid signal for anyone researching it before buying, renting, or listing a week for sale.

Arequipa & the Surrounding Region

Arequipa itself, Peru's second city, sits at 2,335 metres in the Andes and is known for its colonial core built largely from white volcanic stone — hence its nickname, the "White City". The Plaza de Armas and the 16th-century Monastery of Santa Catalina are both just a couple of kilometres from the resort's general area and are the obvious half-day outings for anyone staying nearby. Further afield, Misti Volcano dominates the skyline and draws hikers and photographers, while Colca Canyon and Lake Titicaca make feasible longer excursions for owners who want to turn a week here into a proper regional trip. This is a destination built around culture, altitude, and landscape rather than beach time, so it suits owners and renters with an interest in history, trekking, and highland travel.

Selling or Renting Out a Week Here

If you own a week at Club Laguna la Joya and are thinking about a resale or rental, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a straightforward owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee to get your week live, and because it's a private resale between owners, we don't take any commission on the sale.

Because Club Laguna la Joya is an independent resort, resale isn't routed through a brand's corporate resale channel — it typically goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, ask the resort for two things in writing: the current transfer fee for changing the week into the new owner's name, and the current annual maintenance fee, since these vary by resort and unit type and aren't something we can quote without confirmation. A buyer taking over your week should expect to receive the usage rights and RCI exchange eligibility tied to the week, but not any back dues or administrative history — it's worth clarifying with management exactly what transfers and what doesn't before closing.

Practical Notes for Owners and Renters

Anyone renting or exchanging into Club Laguna la Joya should plan around Arequipa's dry season, roughly May to October, when skies are clearest for views of Misti and for day trips out to Colca Canyon. Altitude is the other practical factor: at over 2,300 metres, it's sensible to allow a day to acclimatise before tackling the canyon or the volcano trails. RCI members booking an exchange into or out of this resort should check current exchange policies and blackout dates directly with RCI, since these can change and aren't part of what we list on the marketplace.
