KOALA’s Top 21 is driven by bookings, guest reviews, destination appeal, overall value, and yes, vibes. Some are repeat icons. Others are standout newcomers. All earn their place.

New to Timeshares?
Here’s the tea: Timeshare resorts = vacation clubs with condo-style suites co-owned by multiple parties. Ownership can be in fixed weeks or flexible points. And when owners can’t use their stay, KOALA helps them rent it to smart travelers (you). So you get premium stays in top spots—often for less than a basic hotel—no sales pitch required.

Let’s dive into the 21 resorts we (and our guests!) couldn’t get enough of in 2025. Whether you’re after beach days, ski slopes, city lights, or desert oases, there’s a gem waiting for you.
