Club Melia at Meliá Tamarindos

The resort and its setting

Club Meliá at Meliá Tamarindos is part of the Meliá group's Club Meliá timeshare collection, located on Gran Canaria in Spain's Canary Islands. Units are designed around contemporary Mediterranean-style interiors, with layouts aimed at couples, families and larger groups looking for self-catering-friendly comfort rather than a standard hotel room. The resort sits close to the coast, giving owners and guests straightforward access to beach time, along with on-site dining covering both Spanish and international dishes, a pool, and the kind of day-to-day facilities that make a week-long stay feel manageable rather than like constant hotel living.

The area and things to do

Gran Canaria's capital, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, is within easy reach and brings two of the island's best-known draws: Las Canteras Beach, a long urban stretch of sand popular for swimming and surfing, and the Vegueta old town, the city's historic quarter with colonial-era streets, the cathedral and small museums worth a half-day on foot. A short drive inland, the Jardín Botánico Viera y Clavijo botanical garden is one of the largest in Spain and makes a good choice for a slower, shaded morning away from the coast. Between beach days, owners and renters typically fill their time with local markets, short excursions into the island's interior villages, and the relaxed pace of Canarian café life.

Selling or renting a week here

Owners who no longer use their week can list it for private resale or rental on BidMyTimeshare.com. You set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you directly through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-off listing fee to advertise. This keeps the process transparent and puts pricing control in the owner's hands rather than a resale agency's.

Because Club Meliá at Meliá Tamarindos operates under Meliá's Club Meliá structure, resale transfers are typically handled through Meliá's own transfer process rather than an independent owners' association. Sellers should confirm directly with Meliá what the current transfer fee is and whether the brand holds a right of first refusal on resales, as this affects both the timeline and the final paperwork. Buyers should likewise ask exactly what transfers with a resale week — for example, whether RCI exchange affiliation and any accumulated points or banked weeks carry over, or whether these reset with new ownership. Always get written confirmation of the current annual maintenance fee before agreeing a price, since this is the figure that most affects ongoing cost to the buyer.

Practical notes

As an RCI-affiliated resort, an owned week here can potentially be deposited into RCI's exchange network to trade toward stays elsewhere, which is one of the more common reasons owners hold onto or seek out a timeshare like this rather than booking a straightforward hotel stay. Renters, meanwhile, are usually drawn to the self-catering kitchen setup, the beach-adjacent location, and the predictability of a fixed unit type for the week booked.

Adolfo Suárez Gran Canaria Airport is roughly 20 kilometres from the resort, and onward transport is generally arranged through car hire or transfers rather than relying on the resort itself. Given Gran Canaria's appeal during the cooler northern-hemisphere months, owners selling a week that falls outside the busiest winter season may find shoulder-season dates (spring or autumn) easier to market to buyers looking for a quieter, lower-cost trip.
