Elite Apartments at Fairways Club

The resort and setting

Elite Apartments at Fairways Club sits in San Miguel de Abona, a traditional Canarian town in the south of Tenerife, set back from the busier coastal resorts of Costa del Silencio and Los Cristianos. The apartments are self-catering, with fully equipped kitchens and private outdoor space — a layout that suits families or couples who want the independence of a proper kitchen and living area rather than a standard hotel room. As an RCI-affiliated resort, it works well for owners who want the option to use their week locally or trade it through RCI for a stay elsewhere.

The area and things to do

San Miguel de Abona has kept much of its everyday Spanish character — this isn't a purpose-built resort strip, so you'll find local bars, bakeries and a weekly market rather than wall-to-wall tourist development. The town centre is within walking distance of the resort, and the south coast's beaches are a 10–15 minute drive away, including the stretches around Los Cristianos and Costa del Silencio. Golf is close by, which suits owners who exchange or rent specifically for that reason, and the surrounding countryside offers access to hiking trails through Tenerife's volcanic landscape. It's a good base for exploring the quieter side of the island's south while still staying close to the main tourist infrastructure.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Elite Apartments at Fairways Club and no longer use it, you can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, pay a one-time listing fee to advertise, and there's 0% commission on the sale — unlike agency-based resale routes. Buyers and renters contact you directly through the platform to arrange details.

Because this is an independent resort, any resale isn't processed through RCI itself — RCI is simply the exchange network the resort is affiliated with, not the body that handles ownership transfers. Resale transfers at independent resorts are typically handled through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth confirming directly with the resort or its management company: the transfer fee, whether there's a right of first refusal on resale, how long the transfer process usually takes, and the current annual maintenance fee. These details vary by resort and aren't published figures we can quote here, so get them in writing from the resort before you finalise a sale.

A resale buyer should expect to receive the deeded or contractual right to use the week going forward, under the same terms as the original owner, once the transfer is completed and recorded with the resort. They typically do not inherit any banked points, prior RCI exchange credits, or loyalty perks tied to the seller's account — those stay with the seller or simply expire. If RCI exchange access matters to you as a buyer, confirm with the resort that the affiliation transfers with the unit, and ask what's needed to register with RCI under your own name.

Practical notes

The nearest airport is Tenerife South, about 45 minutes from the resort, which is convenient for both owners visiting and renters flying in for a week. Because San Miguel de Abona is inland rather than directly on the coast, anyone renting or buying a week here should be clear that the beaches are a short drive rather than a walk, and that a hire car or taxis make getting around considerably easier.
