St. Thomas Timeshares

While there are timeshares located all over the US Virgin Islands, those on the island of St. Thomas are among the most popular. Brand names in hospitality including Marriott, Ritz-Carlton and Wyndham all have presences on the island and offer a wide array of timeshare accommodations that can suit the needs and wants of any traveler.

Timeshare resorts are a great option for any visitor who requires (or desires) more spacious, luxurious accommodations than a typical hotel can provide. Timeshares on the island of St. Thomas include studio-style suites, one, two and three bedroom apartments, and even stand-alone villas and townhouses depending on the resort.

With standard features like fully-equipped kitchens, living rooms, private balconies and washers and dryers en suite, staying in a timeshare is more like staying in your own private vacation home. Couple that with the on-site resort amenities available to timeshare owners and renters (swimming pools, spa services, concierge, recreational activities, fine dining, room service), and you get a fully loaded vacation experience that doesn't cost any more than staying in a hotel.

For travelers who visit St. Thomas regularly, timeshare ownership allows them to prepay for a great vacation year after year. But what many people don't realize is that as a timeshare owner, you can also trade your weeks in St. Thomas for time at other luxury resorts - whether it's as close as St. John or St. Croix, or as far away as Spain or France.

Whether you are interested in owning or renting a timeshare, the best place to find deals is the online resale marketplace. Timeshare resales are the same properties offered by the resorts, except they are not marked-up to cover extravagant promotional offers and sales presentations. In fact, when owners sell timeshares they are generally offered at thousands less than the retail value.

The same holds true for vacationers interested in renting a timeshare in St. Thomas. Renting a week from an individual owner can be much less expensive than booking your vacation through the resort, and the availability of resale and rental weeks online is extensive.
