Can I cancel a Marriott Marbella Beach Resort timeshare in 2026?
Yes. Marriott Marbella exits work through two routes: (1) the universal one — change of ownership to a Spanish specialist company, valid for both deeded weeks and pure points-based Marriott Vacation Club products; (2) floating-week nullity in qualifying cases — assessed individually. Perpetuity-based claims no longer work since the 2025 Supreme Court rulings. Payment at the end. We have been doing this since 2014.
⚠️ Important update — Spanish Supreme Court 2025
The 2025 Spanish Supreme Court rulings closed the perpetuity-based nullity route for timeshare contracts. Floating-week nullity may still be viable, but only in specific cases — depending on your contract, the resort and the selling company. It is not automatic; we assess case by case.
The universal route that always works is the change of ownership to a Spanish specialist company that acquires problematic timeshare assets. Valid for any contract type, any resort, any date. Payment only at the end of the procedure. We have been doing this since 2014.
If you have an active nullity claim in court: contact us. Perpetuity-based claims should likely be desisted before judgment to avoid being ordered to pay costs. Floating-week claims need case-by-case assessment — some are still viable.
About Marriott’s Marbella Beach Resort
Marriott’s Marbella Beach Resort is a fixed-week and floating-week timeshare property located on the Costa del Sol, marketed primarily under the Marriott Vacation Club umbrella. UK and Irish owners make up a significant share of the membership. Compared to other Spanish timeshare brands, Marriott contracts are more sophisticated and the brand has stronger enforcement infrastructure — meaning that ignoring fees is more likely to lead to active collection. A planned exit is generally a much better path than non-payment.
Why owners come to us
- They no longer want to vacation in Marbella and the points exchange does not give them what they expected.
- Maintenance fees and special assessments have risen and feel disproportionate to actual use.
- They want a controlled exit before retirement to remove the asset from their estate.
- They tried Marriott’s own «exit programme» and the terms were unacceptable or it was not available for their product.
- They are facing collection action and want a Spanish-law solution coordinated with their UK position.

Frequently asked questions
I have a Marriott Vacation Club points contract — can it be cancelled?
Yes, but the route depends on the specific structure (deeded ownership at Marbella Beach Resort vs pure points). We assess this in the free review.
Marriott offers its own «exit programme» — should I use it?
It is an option, but the terms vary by product and are not always favourable. We can compare it against alternative routes so you choose with full information.
Can I just stop paying my Marriott fees?
We do not recommend it. Marriott has strong enforcement and active collection. A planned exit avoids credit damage and additional fees.
What if I want to sell rather than exit?
The secondary market for Marriott Vacation Club points is very limited and prices are typically far below what owners paid. We can evaluate whether selling is realistic for your specific product.
How long does a Marriott exit take?
Specialist exit: 6–12 months. If pursuing nullity through Spanish courts: 12–24 months. Payments at the end of the procedure.
