Ourabay Resort

The Resort and Its Setting

Ourabay Resort is an independent timeshare property located at Rua Dunfermline, Lote 10, in Portugal. Its independent status means it isn't run by one of the large international timeshare chains, so the day-to-day management and owners' services tend to have a more local, personalised feel. At the same time, the resort carries an RCI affiliation, which links owners into a global exchange network rather than tying them to a single destination year after year.

The Area and Things to Do

Ourabay Resort sits within easy reach of some of Portugal's best-known attractions. Lisbon, the capital, is roughly 25 km away, with its historic Alfama district, the Belém Tower, and the Jerónimos Monastery all worth a day trip or more. Closer to the coast, Cascais (about 35 km) offers beaches, a seafront promenade, and relaxed, upscale dining options, while Estoril (around 32 km) adds a casino, golf courses, and a stretch of golden sand along the Portuguese Riviera. Sintra, a UNESCO World Heritage town roughly 40 km from the resort, is known for its hilltop palaces — including the Pena Palace — and its cooler, wooded hillsides. Owners and renters typically use Ourabay as a base for exploring this part of Portugal, splitting time between coastal relaxation and inland sightseeing.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Ourabay Resort 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, pay a one-time listing fee to publish your ad, and buyers or renters contact you through the platform — there's no commission taken on the sale.

Before listing, it's worth gathering a few practical details that buyers will ask for: the week number or season, unit size, current annual maintenance fee, and confirmation of the resort's RCI affiliation, since that's a feature many buyers specifically look for. Because Ourabay is independently managed rather than part of a branded chain, the actual transfer of ownership — updating the deed or contract into the new owner's name — is typically handled through the resort's own owners' association or management office rather than a corporate resale department. Ask the resort directly for the current transfer fee and any right-of-first-refusal clause before agreeing on a final price with a buyer, as these details and the time a transfer takes can vary and are not standardised across independent resorts.

A resale buyer generally receives the right to use the week going forward under the resort's existing rules, along with eligibility to register with RCI for exchanges, subject to RCI's own membership terms. Loyalty perks, promotional credits, or any benefits tied specifically to the original purchase are not something a resale buyer should expect to inherit — if in doubt, ask the seller or the resort management what is and isn't transferable before closing.

Practical Notes for Owners and Renters

Renters weighing up a week at Ourabay Resort will usually want clarity on the exact dates or season, what's included in the rental price, and how check-in works, since these aren't always standard across independent properties. Portugal uses the Euro, and owners should factor in the annual maintenance fee when deciding whether to rent out a week or hold onto it for personal use. For travel timing, shoulder season — April to May or September to October — tends to bring milder weather and lighter crowds around Lisbon and the coast, which can also make a week more attractive to prospective renters.
