Los Claveles

The Resort and Its Setting

Los Claveles is an independent timeshare property in Arona, in southern Tenerife — one of the Canary Islands' longest-established holiday regions. Being independent rather than part of a large hotel chain, it is run by its own management or owners' association rather than a corporate head office, which tends to give the service a more local, personal feel. The resort's RCI affiliation gives owners access to RCI's exchange network, so a week at Los Claveles can, subject to RCI's own rules and availability, be traded for a stay at another RCI resort elsewhere in the world.

Arona and the South of Tenerife

Arona sits at the heart of Tenerife's southern resort belt, an area known for its reliable sunshine, warm Atlantic waters and well-developed tourist infrastructure. Within easy reach are two of the island's best-known beach resorts: Playa de las Américas, about 8km away, with its long sandy beach, nightlife and restaurants, and the quieter, more family-oriented Los Cristianos, roughly 5km from the resort, which also has ferry connections to La Gomera. Families often head to Siam Park (around 12km), one of Europe's larger water parks, while Loro Parque (about 45km), with its animal and bird collections, makes a good day trip further north. For something completely different, Teide National Park, home to Spain's highest peak, is about 65km away and well worth the drive for the volcanic scenery and cable car views.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Los Claveles and are considering 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 pay a one-time listing fee rather than handing over a cut of the sale — there's no commission taken when it sells. Buyers and renters contact you directly through the platform, so you stay in control of negotiations.

Because Los Claveles is an independent resort, resale transfers are typically handled through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than through a brand-wide resale programme. If you're selling, it's worth confirming directly with the resort or its management what the current transfer fee is and whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, as this varies by property and isn't something we can state generically here. Buyers should always ask for the current annual maintenance fee and any outstanding transfer costs before agreeing a price, and should clarify whether the RCI affiliation and any accumulated RCI points or deposits transfer with the week or remain with the seller.

What renters typically look for at a resort like Los Claveles is straightforward: confirmed dates, clarity on what's included (unit size, view, any resort fees payable locally), and proximity to the beaches and attractions of southern Tenerife. Being specific about these points in your listing — and mentioning the RCI affiliation if you're offering an exchange rather than a straight rental — tends to produce more serious enquiries.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Tenerife South Airport (TFS) is the usual arrival point for the south of the island, with Arona roughly 60–70km away by road — car hire or the island's bus network are both workable options for getting to and from the resort. The Canary Islands' subtropical climate means warm weather for most of the year, with the busiest, priciest weeks generally falling in the summer school holidays and around Christmas and New Year; owners renting out a week should factor this seasonality into their pricing, and buyers comparing listings should check which week of the year is actually on offer, since demand and usability can differ considerably between high and low season.
