Diamond Club Maritima

The Resort & Setting

Diamond Club Maritima is a relaxed, apartment-style timeshare in Tías, within the Puerto del Carmen resort area on Lanzarote. Google reviewers rate it 4.6 out of 5 from 182 reviews, and the feedback echoes the official description: low-key accommodation, an outdoor pool with a dedicated kids' section, and a quiet, unfussy atmosphere rather than a sprawling high-rise complex. It started out as part of the Diamond Resorts portfolio and now sits under Hilton Grand Vacations' legacy Diamond collection. The resort is also affiliated with RCI, giving owners who hold points or weeks here the option to trade into RCI's exchange network for a change of destination in a given year.

The Area & Things to Do

Puerto del Carmen is Lanzarote's main holiday town, stretching along a long run of coastline on the island's south side, and Diamond Club Maritima sits close to the heart of it. Playa Grande, the town's main beach with calm water and a promenade, is about half a kilometre away, while the marina and promenade — lined with restaurants, bars and shops — are roughly a kilometre from the resort, making it easy to walk to dinner or a sundowner without needing a car. Further afield, Lanzarote's volcanic Timanfaya National Park is around 45km away and makes a rewarding half-day trip, while the Cesar Manrique Foundation House, showcasing the work of the island's best-known artist, is about 35km out. Families often build in a stop at Lanzarote Wildlife Park, roughly 8km from the resort.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Whether you're ready to part with your week or would simply rather rent it out for a year, BidMyTimeshare.com lists it as a private resale or rental: you set your own asking price, interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to get their ad published.

Because Diamond Club Maritima falls under the Hilton Grand Vacations legacy Diamond structure, resale transfers go through HGV's own process rather than through an independent owners' association. According to Hilton Grand Vacations' fee schedule effective 1 January 2026, a resale transfer incurs a $736 activation fee, a $504 ownership change fee, and a $102 estoppel fee (up from $715, $489 and $99 respectively in 2025). HGV's club disclosure also notes that transfers may be subject to a right of first refusal, which brokers say typically runs for 30 days before a resale can proceed. Brokers quote transfer times ranging from as little as 4–6 weeks up to 60–120 days, so it's worth factoring that into your timeline if you're selling to a specific deadline.

It's also worth being upfront with buyers about what a resale purchase does and doesn't include: resale buyers do not get access to HGV Max, receive only limited Hilton Honors conversion with no automatic elevated status, and are not eligible for Open Season booking benefits. None of this affects the ability to use and enjoy the week itself, but buyers should understand the distinction before agreeing a price.

Practical Notes for Renters & Buyers

Renters looking for a week at Diamond Club Maritima tend to prioritise the walk-to-the-beach location, the pool and kids' area for family stays, and easy access to Puerto del Carmen's restaurants and marina without needing a hire car. Buyers considering a resale should ask the current owner for the latest annual maintenance fee, confirm whether RCI exchange rights transfer with the unit, and factor in the HGV transfer fees and right-of-first-refusal window before finalising a deal.
