Club Excélsior 2

The resort and its setting

Club Excélsior 2 is an independent, RCI-affiliated timeshare resort in Playa del Inglés, on the southern coast of Gran Canaria. Units come with fully-equipped kitchenettes and contemporary furnishings, so owners and guests can self-cater or eat out as they prefer. It's a straightforward beach-town resort rather than a sprawling complex — the appeal here is the location, not a long list of on-site facilities.

Playa del Inglés and what there is to do

Playa del Inglés has been a fixture of Canary Islands tourism for decades, and the resort's position puts you steps from the beach and within walking distance of the Yumbo Centrum, the area's well-known hub for shopping, bars and restaurants. The Maspalomas Dunes, one of the island's most recognisable natural landmarks, are about 5km away, and Maspalomas Golf Course is roughly 8km further along the coast. Inland, the Botanical Garden Viera y Clavijo makes for a good half-day trip if you fancy a break from the beach. The whole stretch of coast is known for warm, settled weather for most of the year, tempered by trade winds that keep the heat comfortable.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Club Excélsior 2 and are thinking of selling or renting it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an 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 no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-off listing fee to put their week in front of buyers who are specifically searching for resorts like this one.

Since Club Excélsior 2 is an independent resort, any resale will normally be processed through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a branded developer. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth asking the resort management directly for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee, since these figures aren't published centrally and can change from year to year. Buyers should also ask whether the week comes with RCI affiliation intact, as this is what allows the eventual owner to deposit the week into the exchange network rather than simply using it at the resort itself.

Renters tend to look for the same things wherever they're searching: a confirmed week or date range, clarity on unit size and occupancy, and confirmation that the booking will be honoured by the resort. Being upfront about these details in your listing, along with mentioning the RCI affiliation, helps attract serious enquiries.

Practical notes for owners and buyers

Gran Canaria Airport is the nearest airport, around 30km from the resort, with regular direct flights from major European cities, which makes travel planning straightforward for both owners and anyone renting the week. Shoulder season — April to May or September to October — tends to offer the best balance of good weather and smaller crowds, which is also worth flagging to prospective renters with flexible travel dates.
