Ownership Details – Seasons & Points Charts
Deeded Weeks
For deeded week owners, Marriott’s Waiohai Beach Club offers Platinum and Platinum Plus ownership seasons. Ownerships deeded to a Platinum season can book week 1 through week 51, while Platinum Plus ownerships were sold as fixed weeks for week 52 (New Years Week).
Each season is allocated a specific week or range of weeks in the calendar year, as shown on the chart in the expandable section below.
Abound Club Points
Marriott Vacation Club also allows owners to purchase into their points-based system, now known as the Abound program, and use those points to book vacations at any Marriott, Westin, or Sheraton timeshare resort.
When booking this resort using Abound Club Points, each travel period has a corresponding points value based on the travel demand at that time of year (full points charts shown in the expandable sections below). The high-demand seasons typically require more points compared to the low-demand seasons. Marriott points owners can use their points to reserve any available villa type during any available travel period.
