Sunningdale Village

The Resort & Its Setting

Sunningdale Village sits in Golf del Sur, a purpose-built residential and holiday community on Tenerife's south coast, built around the area's golf courses rather than in the middle of a busy tourist strip. The resort is part of the Diamond Resorts portfolio, now managed through the Hilton Vacation Club system, so owners get Hilton-standard housekeeping and front-desk service even though the brand name on the title deed is Diamond. It's a fixed-week ownership resort, meaning owners hold a specific week (or weeks) each year rather than a flexible points balance, though some owners have converted into the HGV Europe points collection over time.

Golf del Sur & What's Around

Golf del Sur was built around its own 18-hole championship course, which sits right next to the resort and is the main draw for many visitors. Beyond the fairways, southern Tenerife's bigger attractions are all within driving distance: Playa del Duque, one of the island's better-kept beaches, is about 15 km away, Los Cristianos with its harbour, promenade and boat trips is around 20 km, and Siam Park is roughly 35 km north. Teide National Park, with its cable car and volcanic scenery, is a longer drive at around 90 km but is a popular day trip from this side of the island. Tenerife's climate stays mild year-round, so the resort works equally well as a winter sun base or a summer beach holiday.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Owners who no longer use their week at Sunningdale Village can list it for resale or rental on BidMyTimeshare.com as a private, owner-to-owner sale: you set your own asking price, pay a one-time listing fee, and there's 0% commission on the sale itself — buyers contact you directly through the platform.

Before agreeing a price, sellers should factor in the brand's own transfer costs, since these are separate from anything paid to BidMyTimeshare. According to Diamond Resorts' March 2022 membership key information, transferring a week to a new owner costs £200 / €230 per certificate, while a family transfer is £75 / €86.25; transferring points costs £299 / €343.85. Transfers are also subject to a right of first refusal under the club rules, and HGV's May 2026 governing documents restrict who points can be transferred to — family, heirs, or an HGV-appointed regulated intermediary — with resale-only points buyers not enrolled as full Club members. HGV hasn't published a standard timeframe for how long a transfer takes, so it's worth asking HGV directly before completing a sale. Buyers should also confirm current annual maintenance fees directly with HGV, as these aren't fixed figures and change year to year.

Renters, meanwhile, are typically after a straightforward week's stay without the ownership commitment — clear dates, a confirmed unit size, and an idea of what's included (housekeeping, linens, pool access) matter more to them than exchange affiliations.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Because Sunningdale Village is a Diamond/HGV week-based resort affiliated with RCI, owners can also use their week for exchange through RCI, subject to the usual availability and deposit rules, rather than only staying at Golf del Sur itself. Anyone buying resale should ask to see the specific week and unit type being sold, confirm whether it's a fixed or floating week, and get written confirmation of the annual maintenance fee before making an offer.
