Can I cancel a Sunset Beach Club timeshare in 2026?
Yes. Two routes are possible today: (1) the universal one — change of ownership to a Spanish specialist company that acquires problematic timeshare assets; (2) floating-week nullity — case by case, depending on your contract, the resort and the seller. Perpetuity-based claims no longer work since the 2025 Supreme Court rulings. We have been doing this since 2014 — over 10 years and 5,000+ resolved cases.
⚠️ 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 Sunset Beach Club Benalmádena
Sunset Beach Club is a resort and timeshare complex located in Benalmádena (Málaga province, Costa del Sol). It has been operating since the 1980s and has thousands of timeshare members across Europe — with British, Irish, Scandinavian and German owners being the most common. Many of them bought their week in the 1990s and 2000s and are now struggling with rising annual maintenance fees they no longer want to pay.
Why owners at Sunset Beach Club come to us
- Maintenance fees keep rising and they no longer use the week (or never did).
- The resort refuses to take the week back («dación en pago» is not accepted).
- They want to stop their children inheriting the contract and its debts.
- They were told they could «sell» the week on the secondary market — and discovered there is no real market.
- They have received court demands (monitorio) for unpaid maintenance and want to act before it escalates.
What we look at in the free case review
- Contract date and type — fixed or floating week, before/after Ley 42/1998 and RDL 8/2012.
- Registration of the timeshare regime — properly constituted or not (key for nullity).
- Current maintenance debt and any pending court actions.
- Your objective — recover money paid, simply exit, or both.
- Route recommendation — nullity, specialist exit, or a combination.
How the process works
- Free case review (24–48h): send us your contract details, current debt position, and what you want to achieve.
- Closed quote: we send you a clear quote with no hidden costs. Payments are at the end of the procedure.
- Sign engagement and power of attorney: notarised remotely (no travel required).
- Procedure: 6–12 months for specialist exit; 12–24 months for nullity through Spanish courts.
- Completion: your week is transferred or your contract declared null. No further fees accrue.
Frequently asked questions
I bought at Sunset Beach Club before 1999 — does anything change?
Yes. Contracts signed before the entry into force of Ley 42/1998 are reviewed under earlier legislation and case law. Some have additional grounds for nullity. We assess this in the free review.
Can I be pursued in the UK for unpaid Spanish maintenance fees?
It is possible. Spanish judgments can be enforced in the UK under bilateral arrangements. Acting before a Spanish court order is issued is much easier and cheaper.
Do I need to travel to Spain?
No. The entire procedure is handled remotely. Documents are signed digitally or notarised via your local notary and apostilled.
Will my deposit / past payments be recoverable?
Since the 2025 Spanish Supreme Court rulings closed the nullity route, recovery of past payments is no longer a realistic outcome. The specialist-exit route does not recover money paid — its value is stopping future debt and removing the asset from your estate.
How much does cancelling cost?
It depends on the contract and the route. After the free review we send a closed quote, and all payments are at the end of the procedure — never upfront.
