Port de Rei

The Resort & Setting

Port de Rei sits at Plaça Punta Montgó in L'Escala, a coastal town in the province of Girona known for its fishing harbour, anchovy-curing history, and easy access to some of the Costa Brava's quieter coves. As an independent, RCI-affiliated resort, Port de Rei is geared toward owners who want a fixed holiday week in a genuine seaside Catalan town rather than a large resort complex. Google reviewers rate it 4.1 out of 5 from 353 reviews, which reflects a resort that's well established with a loyal base of repeat owners.

The Area & Things to Do

L'Escala and the surrounding Costa Brava coastline are the main draw: rocky coves, beach walks, and seaside villages stretch along this part of Girona's shore, roughly 25 km from the provincial capital. Girona city itself, with its medieval cathedral, old Jewish quarter, ancient walls and cobbled streets, makes for a strong day trip inland. Art lovers can head to Figueres, about 40 km away, home to the Dalí Theatre-Museum. For those who want mountains as well as sea, the Pyrenees are within driving distance, roughly 50 km away, offering hiking and a cooler-air contrast to the coast. It's a region that rewards owners who like to mix beach time with culture and day trips, rather than staying put on a sunlounger all week.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Port de Rei and are ready to move on, BidMyTimeshare.com lets you list it for resale or rental directly, owner to owner. You set your own asking price, write your own listing, and interested buyers or renters contact you through the platform — there's no agent in the middle and no commission taken from your sale. Sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to publish their ad.

Because Port de Rei is an independent resort, resale transfers are handled through the resort's own owners' association or management office rather than through a branded resale programme. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm directly with the resort what the current transfer fee is, what the annual maintenance fee currently stands at, and whether the association has any right of first refusal on a resale. These details vary by resort and can change, so always get them in writing from Port de Rei before finalising a sale. A resale buyer should expect to take over the week itself and the obligation to pay future maintenance fees; they should ask specifically what, if anything, beyond the week and RCI exchange eligibility is included, since extras such as bonus weeks or point credits are not guaranteed to transfer.

Renters, meanwhile, are typically looking at L'Escala for a self-contained coastal stay with the flexibility to drive to Girona, Figueres or the Pyrenees — worth mentioning in your listing description if you're renting out a week rather than selling it.

RCI Exchange

Port de Rei's RCI affiliation means owners can bank their week and trade it for stays at other RCI resorts rather than returning to L'Escala every year. If you're selling, it's worth noting in your listing that the week carries RCI exchange eligibility, since some buyers are specifically looking for exchange flexibility rather than a fixed annual destination.

Practical Notes for Visitors

L'Escala is best explored with a car if you want to reach the wider Costa Brava coves or venture up to the Pyrenees, though the town centre itself is walkable. Spring and early autumn tend to bring milder weather and fewer crowds than peak summer, which is worth factoring into both personal use and any rental listing. Basic Spanish helps outside the main tourist spots, though English is widely understood in L'Escala given its long history with holidaymakers.
