What Is Vacation Internationale?

In 1974, Vacation Internationale (VI) was founded with just one resort in Hawaii. Since its creation, the company has expanded to 44 resorts across U.S., Mexico, and Canada, providing owners with dynamic and unforgettable vacations. As pioneers of the “points based” timeshare model, VI was founded with the belief that vacationing is meant to be hassle-free, flexible, and always exciting, as vacation is the spice of life. With a commitment to service, quality, and overall excellence, it’s clear why more than 44,000 guests own timeshares with the brand. What’s more, many of these loyal owners have chosen Vacation Internationale resorts since the beginning, when VI was initially founded four decades ago.

Vacation Internationale Resorts Is Owner-Controlled

Undoubtedly, one thing that sets VI apart from its peers is that its board of directors is elected by its vacation owners, meaning that the owners call the shots. In fact, Vacation Internationale is the largest owner-controlled vacation club in North America, and the board continues to work in the favor of its owners. Being owner-controlled allows VI owners to have a say about how and when they travel. Additionally, the directors meet frequently to ensure that their owners are happy with their vacation experiences, as well as change and improve upon any issues.

Benefits for Owners

Moreover, members enjoy online booking through the brands’ website and great customer service at each resort in the brand. Benefits of Vacation Internationale membership include:

• $20 Booking Fee (per reservation at any VI resort)
• No Guest Fees
• No Housekeeping Fees
• Bonus Time: VI Owners can purchase “bonus time” VI resort stays for a discounted rate within a certain timeframe.
• VI Instant Exchange: A service for exchanging points with other owners.
• Save/Borrow Points: Owners can use VI points from 4 use years.
• Points Usage Flexibility: Owners can use their points to book at VI resorts and for exchanging internally and with other companies.

Westgate Resorts Acquires VI Resorts

As of 2025, Westgate Resorts acquired Vacation Internationale resorts by ownership of Vacation Ownership Sales (VOS). In case you don’t know, Westgate Resorts is a leading vacation club brand with 27 resorts in top locations across the U.S. From glamping in rugged River Ranch, Florida, to winning big at the casino in Vegas, Westgate appeals to your sense of adventure and need for comfort.

Now operating as VI Resorts by Westgate, Westgate’s new management of Vacation Internationale means a lot of exciting updates for current and new owners. For starters, VI Resorts owners will receive new club benefits, as well as premier access to three additional Westgate resorts: Westgate Blue Tree Resort and Westgate Palace Resort, both in Orlando, and Westgate Painted Mountain Golf Resort in Mesa, Arizona. Moreover, both Westgate owners and VI Resorts by Westgate owners receive priority access to vacation exchange through Interval International, allowing them to experience the combined, 60+ resort portfolio of Westgate and Vacation Internationale.

See More of the World with Vacation Exchange

Alongside Interval International, Vacation Internationale owners are eligible for RCI membership. RCI is another vacation exchange company, featuring over 4,300 resorts in nearly 110 countries. Similarly, Interval International offers 3,200 resorts in 90 countries. With RCI and II membership, owners can trade in their club points for stays at thousands of resorts around the world. This way, should you grow tired of Vacation Internationale resorts, you can book stays at spectacular resorts with top brands like Hilton, Disney, Wyndham, and more. It’s not very common for a resort brand to have eligibility for both of the biggest vacation exchange networks in the world, so this is a huge benefit for VI owners!

How Do Vacation Internationale Timeshares Work?

Vacation Internationale gives owners a great amount of vacation freedom and flexibility thanks to its points-based system. With VI timeshare points, you can travel to any resort within the Vacation Internationale collection. You are not locked into any one resort location or season of the year. What’s more, you can vacation for as long (or as little) as you’d like. So, spend a long weekend ground and recenter in spiritual Sedona, or take a week-long getaway to Hawaii’s Garden Isle.

VI will give you an allotment of points each year based on your home resort. Your home resort is the resort where you receive priority booking, so be sure to pick one you think you’d like to visit more than once. A more popular home resort, say a resort in Hawaii, will be worth more points than a resort is a less sought-after vacation destination. While most of Vacation Internationale’s timeshare resorts are on the West Coast, they feature a broad range of locales to explore. Some of the brand’s most popular resorts are in British Columbia, Palm Springs, and Mexico. So, there’s something for every kind of traveler.
