Margaritaville Vacation Club is a points-based timeshare program built around the laid-back, sun-soaked lifestyle of the Margaritaville brand — and it’s backed by the infrastructure of Travel + Leisure Co., one of the largest vacation ownership companies in the world. Owners receive an annual allotment of points to book stays across a growing portfolio of themed resorts, plus access to 100+ Club Wyndham properties and more than 4,000 exchange destinations through RCI. Better yet, buyers who purchase through the resale market access all the same owner benefits — often at a fraction of the developer’s retail price.
What Is Margaritaville Vacation Club?
Margaritaville Vacation Club is a branded vacation ownership program developed in partnership between the iconic Margaritaville lifestyle brand and Travel + Leisure Co. (formerly Wyndham Destinations). It’s a timeshare program — not a hotel loyalty membership — meaning owners hold a deeded or right-to-use interest tied to an annual allotment of vacation points.
Unlike traditional fixed-week timeshares, MGVC operates on a flexible points-based model. There’s no obligation to return to the same resort every year. Owners choose where they go, when they travel, and what size suite they book — all using their annual points balance.
The Margaritaville lifestyle is woven into every aspect of the brand: sun-inspired resort design, live music programming, tiki bar culture, and an unmistakably relaxed atmosphere that makes every property feel like a getaway.
How Does Margaritaville Ownership Work?
Owners purchase an annual allotment of points, which they use to book stays across the MGVC network. The system is designed around flexibility — not fixed dates, not fixed locations.
Here’s a breakdown of what ownership includes:
- All Margaritaville Vacation Club resorts
- 100+ Club Wyndham resorts across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico
- 90+ resorts via Wyndham Club Pass
- 4,000+ exchange opportunities through RCI
Accommodations are suite-style throughout — think full kitchens, separate bedrooms, and living areas that go well beyond what a standard hotel room offers. That added space is one of the features that consistently draws families and frequent travelers to vacation ownership.
Owners with higher point balances may qualify for VIP by Wyndham status, which unlocks added perks and priority booking access. Annual maintenance fees apply and are the owner’s ongoing responsibility. As with all vacation ownership programs, it’s important to factor those fees into your overall cost picture.
One important note for prospective buyers: resale purchasers receive the same owner benefits as those who bought directly from the developer. That’s a key reason why so many savvy buyers turn to the resale market.

Margaritaville Vacation Club Resorts: Where Can You Stay?
The MGVC portfolio spans tropical island destinations, vibrant urban getaways, and entertainment hubs — making it one of the more diverse lineups in vacation ownership. Travel + Leisure Co. continues to grow the portfolio, so the list of accessible destinations expands over time. Here are just a few properties owners can access today.
Margaritaville Vacation Club — Nashville, TN
Set inside the Margaritaville Hotel Nashville, this property puts owners steps away from Honky Tonk Highway in the heart of Music City. Expect rooftop pool access, fire pits, live music, and the signature frozen drinks the brand is known for. It’s a natural fit for music lovers, couples, and groups looking for a city escape with tropical energy.
Margaritaville Vacation Club — Rio Mar, Puerto Rico
Located in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico, this resort sits between the lush El Yunque rainforest and the golden Atlantic coast. Amenities include multiple pools, ocean and mountain views, and direct beach access. Because Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, American travelers don’t need a passport — making it one of the easiest true island escapes available through the club.
Margaritaville Vacation Club — St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands
Perched on Water Bay at the eastern tip of St. Thomas, this is one of the brand’s flagship properties. Owners enjoy a beachside setting, a tiki bar, and the relaxed Caribbean atmosphere that defines the Margaritaville experience. As with Puerto Rico, U.S. travelers do not need a passport to visit this sought-after destination.
Margaritaville Vacation Club — Atlanta, GA
This property overlooks Centennial Olympic Park in downtown Atlanta, GA. The rooftop pool and bar offer a distinctive urban twist on the classic Margaritaville vibe. Moreover, major attractions — including the Georgia Aquarium and World of Coca-Cola — are steps away. It’s an ideal choice for owners who prefer city culture over coastlines.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Buying a Margaritaville Vacation Club Resale Worth It?
Resale buyers access the same resorts, the same points system, and the same owner benefits as those who purchased directly from the developer — typically at a significantly lower upfront cost. That price difference is one of the most compelling reasons to explore the resale market first.
That said, it’s important to go in with clear expectations. Annual maintenance fees still apply after a resale purchase, so buyers should budget for that ongoing cost. And while MGVC ownership provides real, tangible vacation value, a timeshare is a vacation lifestyle product — not a financial investment. The value lies in the quality and flexibility of the vacations it provides, year after year.
