There’s more to vacation ownership or membership than going to beach towns and theme parks. It’s also a way to visit exotic destinations and stay in luxury homes you’ve only ever seen on TV. While you’re there, you can be pampered like a VIP.
Executive, Presidential, and Chairman’s Club benefit level Owners can use Club Points* to book a luxury home through Villas of Distinction®, a travel provider for Abound by Marriott Vacations™.
These premium vacation homes are in destinations around the world:
Niseko, Japan – A Ski-Lover’s Dream
Experience a romantic getaway in a 2-bedroom accommodation or bring the whole family to stay in a 5-bedroom unit. Each accommodation offers plenty of options for rest or activity. Hit the slopes early and ski directly from the home to the lift or enjoy other snowbound activities like snowshoeing and snowmobiling. Visit in the summer and see NAC Adventure Park, raft or fish on the nearby lake, or cycle and hike the trails. See all three spectacular destinations.
Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica – Adventure in a Jungle Setting
The Villa Mariana
With six villas to choose from, each housing at least 10 guests, a vacation home in Costa Rica is the perfect place for a destination family reunion. What better way to reconnect with loved ones than with a full kitchen and plenty of space for gathering, all within a picture-perfect setting? One such option is The Villa Mariana. Featured in Su Casa, Costa Rica’s premier architectural magazine, this glass-walled house showcases Costa Rica’s natural beauty. It also features an open floor plan, water fountain, two indoor gardens, plunge pool, and six bedrooms that sleep up to 16 guests. The Villa Mariana is just one of over 40 villas in nine locations in Costa Rica available to you.
The Villa Mariana
Bordeaux, France – European Elegance
In the south of France lies Les Terres Rouges. The home, built in the 19th century, can accommodate 16 guests and host up to 70 people for an event. The rolling countryside of France surrounds you as you take advantage of the home’s private lot. Have a barbecue lunch outside by the pool or prepare a gourmet meal in the fully equipped kitchen. Sit back and relax in any of the six bedrooms or feel the warmth of the indoor sauna. When it’s family time, the game room provides all the fun. There are distinct villas all over France — including luxury homes perfect for an Olympic-size summer vacation in Paris.
Les Terres Rouges
Once you book, you’ll be eligible for up to US$250 in Destination Dollars (depending on your Owner benefit level) to be spent on ways to make you feel like a superstar.
- Executive: Up to US$100
- Presidential: Up to US$175
- Chairman's Club: Up to US$250
Maybe you can visit a local vineyard or winery during a private wine tasting or enjoy sunset aboard a catamaran. If you’re more practical, use it for airport fast-track services that include expedited security and immigration clearance.
