Vacation Internationale The Oasis

The Resort & Setting

Vacation Internationale The Oasis is a timeshare property in Palm Springs, in California's Coachella Valley. Owners hold their week through the Vacation Internationale club structure, and the resort is affiliated with RCI, so both owners staying in their own week and incoming exchange guests use the property. Palm Springs is a low-rise desert town known for its Mid-Century Modern buildings, mountain backdrop and warm, dry climate, and The Oasis gives owners a fixed point to come back to year after year.

The Area & Things to Do

Downtown Palm Springs, with its shops, restaurants and galleries, is about 6 km from the resort, and the Palm Springs Art Museum is a similar distance away for anyone wanting a few hours out of the sun. Hikers and walkers head to Indian Canyons (around 10 km) for palm oases and desert trails, or further out to the San Jacinto Mountains (about 15 km) for cooler air and longer routes. Palm Springs International Airport is roughly 8 km from the resort, which keeps transfer times short whether you're arriving by air or picking up a rental car. Golf is a big part of the local appeal too, with courses scattered across the wider valley.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Vacation Internationale The Oasis and are thinking about selling it on, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a private owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and buyers contact you directly through the site. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-off listing fee to have their week advertised.

Because this is a Vacation Internationale resort, any resale transfer goes through Vacation Internationale's own club procedures rather than an independent owners' association. Before you agree a price with a buyer, it's worth confirming directly with Vacation Internationale what their current transfer fee is, whether they exercise a right of first refusal on resales, how long the transfer process typically takes, and what the current annual maintenance fee is for your specific week. These figures can change, so always get them confirmed in writing from Vacation Internationale rather than relying on what a previous owner paid.

A resale buyer at The Oasis should expect to receive the usage rights tied to the week or points being sold, along with access to the RCI exchange network through the resort's affiliation — but they should not assume anything beyond what's stated in the transfer paperwork, including any club-level perks that may be tied to the original purchase rather than the unit itself. Renters, meanwhile, are typically looking for straightforward practical details: travel dates, unit size, and proximity to downtown Palm Springs and the airport, all of which this resort can offer thanks to its location in the valley.

Practical Notes for Owners and Renters

Winter (November–April) is peak season in Palm Springs, with daytime temperatures in the comfortable 70s Fahrenheit, so weeks in this window tend to attract the most renter interest. Shoulder months — April–May and September–October — offer milder heat and lighter crowds, which can suit owners wanting a quieter visit or renters after a better rate. Summer is considerably hotter, but it's also when deals are easiest to find for anyone not deterred by the temperature. A rental car is genuinely useful here, since the resort, downtown and outlying attractions such as the mountains and canyons are spread across the valley rather than within easy walking distance of one another.
