White Sands Beach Club by Diamond Resorts

The Resort and Its Setting

White Sands Beach Club by Diamond Resorts is a timeshare property in Es Mercadal, roughly in the centre of the island of Menorca in Spain's Balearic Islands. The resort is part of the former Diamond Resorts portfolio, now operating under Hilton Grand Vacations (HGV), and offers self-catering accommodation suited to longer stays — a practical base for families or couples wanting to settle into island life rather than rush from sight to sight. The resort is affiliated with RCI, so owners who aren't using their week in Menorca can look at exchanging into other RCI-affiliated resorts.

Menorca and Es Mercadal: What There Is to Do

Menorca has a reputation as the calmer, less built-up sibling of Mallorca and Ibiza — an island of quiet coves, dry-stone walls, and small towns that haven't been given over entirely to tourism. Es Mercadal itself is a traditional inland village known for its local cheeses and pastries, and it sits within easy reach of both the north and south coasts, each with a different character: rugged cliffs and wild beaches to the north, calmer turquoise coves to the south. Time on the island is typically split between beach days, exploring Menorca's many protected coves on foot or by boat, visiting historic towns such as Ciutadella and Mahón, and trying local specialities in village markets. The coastline is popular for diving, snorkelling and sailing, and the island's slower pace suits travellers who want a genuine Mediterranean break without the crowds.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at White Sands Beach Club and no longer use it, you can list it for sale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, write your own listing, and interested buyers or renters contact you through the platform. There's no commission taken on a sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to get the week in front of buyers, rather than handing over a percentage at closing.

Because this resort now sits within the Hilton Grand Vacations system, resale transfers follow HGV's published fee schedule. As of 1 January 2026, HGV's own disclosure (as reported on owner forums and by resale brokers) lists a $736 activation fee, a $504 ownership change fee, and a $102 estoppel fee for resale transfers — up from $715, $489 and $99 in 2025. HGV's club rules also note that transfers may be subject to a right of first refusal, with brokers reporting a typical window of around 30 days for HGV to exercise it.

It's worth being upfront with buyers that resale ownership at an HGV-affiliated resort comes with some restrictions: resale buyers do not receive access to HGV Max, get only limited Hilton Honors points conversion with no automatic elevated status, and are not eligible for Open Season booking benefits. None of this affects the ability to use or exchange the week itself through RCI, but it's worth flagging clearly in your listing so buyers know what they are and aren't getting. Brokers report that transfers typically take anywhere from four to six weeks up to 60–120 days to complete, so it's sensible to build that timeline into any sale agreement.

Practical Notes for Owners and Renters

Renters and buyers researching this resort will usually want to know the size and layout of the unit, the week or season it covers, and what's included in the annual maintenance fee — details you as the owner should have on hand from your ownership documents. Being specific about these points in your listing, along with the transfer fee information above, will save back-and-forth once a buyer gets in touch.
