Marriott Vacations Worldwide is introducing The Marriott Vacation Clubs, a collection of over 90 premium Marriott, Sheraton and Westin Vacation Club-branded resorts as a way to offer more vacation villa ownership opportunities. 

The Marriott Vacation Clubs portfolio offers villa resorts throughout the world. Eligible vacation owners can elect to participate in Abound by Marriott Vacations, which offers seamless travel between the three brands and across the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio. It also includes access to experiences like cruises, culinary tours, events and more. 

Non-owners are still able to stay at these resorts as renters with many of the same on-site amenities. Marriott Bonvoy members can earn Elite Night Credits, as well as Points or Miles and Free Night Awards for qualifying stays or charges. 

The three brands all offer something unique under the larger Marriott Vacation Clubs portfolio. Marriott Vacation Clubs resorts offer comfortable accommodations and ample opportunities for adventure. The Sheraton Vacation Club brand offers family-centric resort experiences in welcoming destinations. Westin Vacation Club’s resorts offer more wellness-centric resort stays and are located in lush, scenic destinations such as Maui and Cancun, Mexico.

“As timeshare ownership continues to grow, especially amongst a younger demographic, we are focused on delivering leisure travel experiences that meet the needs of today’s traveler,” says Lori Gustafson, EVP, Chief Brand and Digital Officer of Marriott Vacations Worldwide. “Our goal in aligning our signature brands under The Marriott Vacation Clubs moniker is to distinguish Marriott’s vacation ownership options within the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio, making it easier for Marriott Bonvoy members and general travelers to understand what properties and experiences are available as either an Owner or a rental guest.”
