Palm Oasis Maspalomas

The resort and its setting

Palm Oasis Maspalomas sits in Sonnenland, a quiet residential pocket of Maspalomas known for its gridded streets and low-rise holiday apartments, a short drive back from the main beachfront strip. The resort itself is an unfussy, relaxed property with studios and apartments, several pools, tennis courts, on-site dining and a nightclub for evening entertainment. It's not a glossy five-star complex — the appeal, borne out in its 4.6-star rating from thousands of reviewers, is straightforward self-catering comfort without unnecessary extras.

Studios suit couples wanting a simple base, while larger apartments work for families who want to cook some meals and use the pools rather than trek to the coast every day. Given the Canary Islands' year-round mild climate, the resort functions as a practical base whether you're visiting in August or February.

The area and things to do

Maspalomas is one of Gran Canaria's best-known resort towns, built around the famous Maspalomas Dunes and its long sandy beach, both a short hop from Sonnenland. The wider Playa del Inglés area, with its shops, bars and restaurants, is within easy reach, and the island's south coast has a well-established infrastructure of supermarkets, pharmacies and car hire for anyone wanting to explore further. Golfers have a choice of courses nearby, and the GC-1 motorway makes day trips along the coast or inland towards the island's hills straightforward if you have a hire car.

Gran Canaria airport is within a manageable drive, which is one reason the south of the island remains popular with repeat visitors — useful context if you're thinking about how rentable your week might be.

Selling or renting a week here

BidMyTimeshare.com is an owner-to-owner marketplace: there's no agency setting your price, and no commission taken when you sell. You decide the asking price for your week, list it yourself, and interested buyers contact you directly through the platform. Sellers pay a one-time listing fee to advertise — that's the only charge the platform makes.

Because Palm Oasis Maspalomas is run independently rather than through a branded exchange programme, any resale here goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a third-party exchange network. If you're selling, be ready to tell buyers what week and unit type you hold, and to point them to the resort's management for the administrative side of the transfer. If you're buying, always ask the current owner (or the resort directly) for two figures before agreeing a price: the transfer fee charged to re-register the week in a new owner's name, and the current annual maintenance fee, since these vary by unit and aren't something we can quote on your behalf.

Renters, meanwhile, are typically looking for a fixed week or a flexible date range, pool and tennis access, and clarity on whether the unit is a studio or a larger apartment — all details worth spelling out clearly in your listing description.

Practical notes for owners and buyers

Allow time for any ownership transfer to go through the resort's association once a sale is agreed — this is an administrative process handled outside BidMyTimeshare.com, and timelines vary by resort, so ask directly what to expect. A resale buyer typically takes on the unit week itself along with the ongoing annual maintenance fee, but should confirm with the resort exactly what is and isn't included before completing a purchase — don't assume extras like exchange membership are part of the deal unless the seller or resort confirms it in writing.

As with any resale, keep a paper trail: the listing details, any correspondence about price, and written confirmation from the resort's management of the transfer fee and annual charges agreed at the time of sale.
