Before opening our first timeshare resort on Hilton Head Island, SC in 1984, we carefully evaluated the
industry and identified opportunities that could enhance the overall vacation ownership experience.
As a recognized industry leader, Marriott Vacations Worldwide continues to set the same high standards that have made Marriott the most admired hospitality company in the world.
Within a decade, the company expanded to Europe with the addition of our first resort in Marbella, Spain.
In 2001, our first Asian resort was added to the collection in exotic Phuket, Thailand.
Marriott Vacations Worldwide is proud of a global portfolio of resorts in some of the most beautiful
destinations around the world.
Continuing in the company's history of innovation, new points-based programs were introduced in 2009
and 2010, providing unparalleled flexibility in vacation experiences for our Members and Owners. Our
commitment to providing exceptional service and the constant evolution of our products is what keeps our Owner and Member families coming back.
The values that inspired the company from its inception still drive us today: delivering unforgettable
experiences that make vacation dreams come true.
