Marriott Vacation Club offers a plethora of options that cater to the diverse vacation needs of its legacy week owners. One of these flexible features would be the “Split Week Option.” This option allows owners to divide their week into two separate groups – leaving them with two reservations, one for three nights and another for four nights. However, it’s important to understand the specifics of this option, as it is only available to owners at select resorts, and there are some limitations involved.
In this article, we will cover everything you need to know about using the split week option, who can use it, what limitations are present, and how to do make it work for your situation. Let’s dive in!
Understanding The Split Week Option
The split week option is a unique feature offered by Marriott Vacation Club that provides its owners with greater flexibility in planning their vacations. Instead of having to use an entire week at once, owners can split their week into two groups – three nights and four nights. This allows for more customized vacation planning, accommodating shorter trips or varied schedules.
Resorts That Offer The Split Week Option
This option isn’t available for all Marriott Vacation Club resorts, so we’ve compiled an exhaustive list below so you can confirm whether your resort offers this extra measure of flexibility. If the resort does offer the split week option, we’ve also added which check-in days are offered for each resort.

Limitations For Using The Split Week Option
While the split week option brings convenience, there are several guidelines and restrictions you need to be aware of:
- No Carry Over: Unused nights cannot be carried over or banked into the next year. You must use both groups during the usage year, or you’ll lose them. This means that careful planning is required to ensure no nights go to waste.
- No Trading: If you choose to use the split week option, you cannot use four nights and then use the remaining three nights to trade into Interval International. The entire week must be used within the Marriott Vacation Club.
- No Lock-Off Option: Owners cannot use the lock-off option and split-week option in the same year. These are separate features, and only one can be utilized per year.
- One Weekend Reservation Per Year: Only one weekend reservation is allowed per year. For example, you cannot reserve a Thursday through Sunday for one reservation, and then a Friday through Sunday for the other split week reservation.
Making The Most Of Your Split Week Option
The split week option can be a fantastic way to maximize your vacation time if used correctly. It allows for more flexibility, fitting into varied schedules and accommodating shorter trips.
However, it’s essential to plan carefully to ensure none of your nights go to waste. Check the list provided above to confirm whether they offer this option, and remember the guidelines to avoid disappointment.
In conclusion, while the split week option may not be for everyone, it can certainly provide an added level of flexibility for some. As with any vacation planning, it’s all about finding the options that work best for your travel needs and making the most of what’s available to you.
