In 2015, the Starwood Vacation Ownership brand was put to bed and the company rebranded as Vistana Signature Experiences, as Starwood decided to spin-off its timeshare business and then sell it to Interval Leisure Group. Today, the company is owned by Marriott Vacations Worldwide and continues to operate the fabulous timeshare resorts under the Sheraton and Westin brands. You can find those resorts on the Westin Timeshare and Sheraton Timeshare pages.
Starwood timeshare is much more than a single resort company—it is part of the powerhouse of hotel and vacation ownership brands known as Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide.
Included within the Starwood family of brands, you’ll find Westin Resorts, St. Regis Resorts, Sheraton Resorts, Aloft Hotels, W Hotels, to name only a few of the company’s distinctive identities. When it comes to timesharing, the names you may know best are Starwood Vacation Ownership, Westin timeshares, and Sheraton timeshares; however, the company also includes fractional ownership opportunities through Starwood Residences and select special destinations, such as the Harborside Resort at Atlantis - one of the most spectacular resort properties in the Bahamas.
If you’re looking to buy Starwood timeshare or interested in renting Starwood timeshares, you instantly recognize this impressive resume of signature brands and understand that the company behind Starwood timeshares knows vacation and leisure travel and is committed to its leadership role in the hospitality industry.
Consider the Starwood timeshares for sale in fabulous golf destinations such as the Westin Mission Hills Resort & Villas in Rancho Mirage, California or the Westin Kierland Villas in sunny Scottsdale, Arizona. How about a ski weekend at the elegant Westin Riverfront Mountain Villas in Avon, Colorado, an anniversary trip to The Westin Ka’anapali Ocean Resort in Lahaina, Hawaii, or a romantic Caribbean getaway at The Westin St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands? With a resort property list that starts with these outstanding timeshares and includes many, many more, it is easy to see why Starwood timeshares have earned their place at the top of the vacation ownership luxury list.
All Starwood timeshare resales are sold on the resale market as deeded timeshare, including timeshares under the Sheraton brand and the Westin brand. When you buy Starwood timeshare resales, you can purchase a fixed week of ownership or a floating week that can be scheduled for any available time during your selected ownership season.
When you are buying a Starwood resale timeshare, if you are interested in exchanging your interval for vacation time at other Starwood resorts you have two exchange avenues. First, you can buy an annual membership in the Interval International timeshare exchange program. These are reasonably priced memberships, especially when you consider how much you are already saving by buying your timeshare as a by-owner resale. Your Interval membership affords you thousands of timeshare exchange opportunities that include Starwood properties as well as timeshares and resorts at other brands and in every part of the world.
Second, you can also gain timeshare exchange within the Starwood network of properties by choosing to purchase your resale with your home resort ownership at one of these properties:
This is a very important factor to keep in mind when you shop for your Starwood vacation ownership if exchange is important to you without joining a timeshare exchange company. Only home resort ownership at one of the five timeshare resorts listed above ensures you, as a resale buyer, the exchange privileges associated with Star Options, also known as the Starwood Vacation Network, SVN.
Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You can search our ever-changing inventory of Starwood resales and rentals and start on your way to owning a luxury vacation experience you can enjoy for years to come. Or, you can contact one of our timeshare specialists here at BuyaTimeshare.com and we’ll help you make buying, renting, or selling Starwood timeshares a simple and stress free process…it’s in the stars!
There are timeshares for sale all over the world, so how do you find the timeshare that’s right for you?
Beginning with your preferred vacation destinations, start to set your priorities such as type of vacation (beach, mountains, theme parks, ski, etc.), the specific town, then the layout of the timeshare unit you need (one bedroom, two bedrooms, etc.).
This is the pattern typically used for any vacation, but the advantage of timeshares is the flexibility of today’s programs to offer multiple options within a given program. As your priorities change over time, you can adjust your priorities and booking requests accordingly and continue to experience fabulous vacations every year.
We all know that timeshares are a great way to pre-purchase vacation time at a wonderful resort at today’s discounted prices. Instead of taking the occasional vacation, you can enjoy a great vacation every year through the savings and benefits of timeshare ownership.
Let’s take a look at the steps to find your favorite timeshare.
