Club La Costa (CLC) – Important Information for Owners

Club La Costa (CLC) operated one of the largest timeshare and points-based holiday ownership schemes in Europe. Over the years, many CLC members contacted us due to rising costs, limited availability, and long-term contractual commitments that no longer met their expectations.

CLC entities have since entered insolvency and liquidation proceedings, which has understandably left many owners uncertain about where they now stand.

What liquidation means for CLC owners

The liquidation of a timeshare company does not automatically cancel ownership agreements, nor does it automatically remove all obligations or rights. However, it can significantly affect:

• Which company, if any, remains responsible for the contract
• Whether a contract is still enforceable
• What practical routes may be available to owners going forward

In many cases, Club La Costa contracts were sold through complex corporate structures, including points systems, fractional arrangements, and upgrades from earlier agreements. Understanding how your specific contract was structured — and which legal entity was involved — is essential before drawing conclusions.

Common concerns raised by CLC members

CLC owners who contact us frequently report:

• Maintenance fees that increased year after year
• Difficulty booking holidays at preferred resorts or times
• Confusion around points, fractional ownership, or upgraded memberships
• Pressure to upgrade without meaningful improvements in value
• Uncertainty following CLC’s insolvency about what their contract now means

For many, the main aim is not to revisit the past, but to gain clarity and bring long-term commitments to an end where possible.

Legal developments and contract review

A series of Spanish Supreme Court rulings over recent years established important legal principles around how timeshare contracts must be structured and sold. These decisions have affected many Spanish-linked timeshare agreements, including some associated with Club La Costa.

However, not every CLC contract is affected, and liquidation adds further complexity. Outcomes depend on factors such as:

• When and where the contract was signed
• How it was structured (weeks, points, fractional, upgrades)
• Which legal entity sold and administered the agreement

This is why individual contract review is essential.
