	Note 1	— Background, Business and Basis of Presentation
	Business and Background
	On July 24, 2013, Diamond Resorts International, Inc. ("DRII") closed the initial public offering (the "IPO") of an aggregate of 17,825,000 shares of its common stock at the IPO price of $14.00 per share. In the IPO, DRII sold 16,100,000 shares of common stock, and Cloobeck Diamond Parent, LLC ("CDP"), in its capacity as a selling stockholder, sold 1,725,000 shares of common stock. The net proceeds to DRII were $204.3 million after deducting all offering expenses. In connection with the IPO, DRII filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") (i) a registration statement on Form S-1, which registered the shares of common stock offered in the IPO under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and (ii) a registration statement on Form 8-A, which registered DRII's common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), each of which became effective on July 18, 2013.
	DRII was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on January 11, 2013 to effect the Reorganization Transactions (defined below) and consummate the IPO. Immediately prior to the consummation of the IPO, Diamond Resorts Parent, LLC ("DRP") was the sole stockholder of DRII. In connection with, and immediately prior to the completion of the IPO, each member of DRP contributed all of its equity interests in DRP to DRII in return for shares of common stock of DRII. Following this contribution, DRII redeemed the shares of common units held by DRP and DRP was merged with and into DRII, with DRII being the surviving entity. The Company refers to these and other related transactions entered into substantially concurrently with the IPO as the "Reorganization Transactions."
	DRII is a holding company, and its principal asset is the direct and indirect ownership of equity interests in its subsidiaries, including Diamond Resorts Corporation ("DRC"), which is the operating subsidiary that has historically conducted the business described below and was the issuer of the 12.0% senior secured notes due 2018 ("Senior Secured Notes"). On June 9, 2014, DRC redeemed all of the remaining outstanding principal amount under the Senior Secured Notes using a portion of the proceeds from the term loan portion of its $470.0 million Senior Credit Facility entered into on May 9, 2014. See "Note 6—Transactions with Related Parties" for the definition of the Senior Credit Facility and further detail on these transactions.
	Except where the context otherwise requires or where otherwise indicated, references in the condensed consolidated financial statements to "the Company" refer to DRP prior to the consummation of the Reorganization Transactions on July 24, 2013 and DRII, as the successor to DRP, following the consummation of the Reorganization Transactions, in each case together with its subsidiaries, including DRC.
	The Company operates in the hospitality and vacation ownership industry, with an ownership base of more than 515,000 owner-families, or members, and a worldwide network of 313 vacation destinations located in 34 countries throughout the world, including the continental United States ("U.S."), Hawaii, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa. The Company’s resort network includes 93 resort properties with approximately 11,000 units that are managed by the Company and 214 affiliated resorts and hotels and six cruise itineraries, which the Company does not manage and do not carry the Company's brand, but are a part of the Company's network and, through THE Club and other Club offerings (the "Clubs"), are available for its members to use as vacation destinations.
	The Company’s operations consist of two interrelated businesses: (i) hospitality and management services, which includes operations related to the management of resort properties and seven multi-resort trusts (the "Collections"), operations of the Clubs, operations of the properties located in St. Maarten for which the Company functions as the homeowners association (the "HOA" and together with all other homeowners associations managed by the Company, the "HOAs"), food and beverage venues owned and managed by the Company and the provision of other hospitality and management services and (ii) marketing and sales of Vacation Ownership Interests ("VOIs" or "Vacation Interests") and consumer financing for purchasers of the Company’s VOIs.
	Basis of Presentation
	Except where the context otherwise requires or where otherwise indicated, the condensed consolidated financial statements and other historical financial data included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are (i) those of DRP and its subsidiaries through July 24, 2013, after giving retroactive effect to the Reorganization Transactions and (ii) those of DRII and its subsidiaries after July 24, 2013. The weighted average common shares outstanding for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 are based upon the number of Class A and Class B common units of DRP outstanding through July 24, 2013, retroactively adjusted for the exchange thereof for shares of common stock of DRII pursuant to the Reorganization Transactions, and thereafter, based upon the outstanding shares of DRII common stock.
	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Diamond Resorts International, Inc. and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting policies described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the "2013 Form 10-K"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be reviewed in conjunction with the Company's annual consolidated financial statements included in the 2013 Form 10-K. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ending December 31, 2014 or any future period.
	The Company’s statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was restated for an $8.1 million reclassification between the operating and financing sections to reflect the redemption premium paid in connection with the Tender Offer and exit fees paid in connection with the extinguishment of the Tempus Acquisition Loan and the PMR Acquisition Loan. This change increased cash flow from operating activities by $8.1 million and decreased cash flow from financing activities by the same amount; however, this change had no impact on previously-reported total cash flows, net loss, comprehensive loss, net loss per share, the balance sheet, the statement of operations or covenant compliance as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. See "Note 16—Borrowings" for the definition of and further detail on the Tender Offer, the Tempus Acquisition Loan and the PMR Acquisition Loan.
	Strategic Acquisitions
	During the past several years, the Company has expanded its business operations by pursuing acquisitions of ongoing businesses in which the Company added locations to its network of available resorts, additional management contracts, new members to its owner base and additional VOI inventory that the Company may sell to existing members and potential customers.
	On August 31, 2010, the Company acquired from ILX Resorts Incorporated certain resort management agreements, unsold VOIs and the rights to recover and resell such interests, a portfolio of consumer loans and certain real property, additional owner-families and other assets (the “ILX Acquisition”), which added ten additional resorts to the Company's resort network.
	On July 1, 2011, the Company acquired from Tempus Resorts International, Ltd. and its subsidiaries certain management agreements, unsold VOIs and the rights to recover and resell such interests, the seller's consumer loan portfolio and certain real property, additional owner-families and other assets (the “Tempus Resorts Acquisition”), which added two resorts to the Company's resort network.
	On May 21, 2012, the Company acquired from Pacific Monarch Resorts, Inc. and its affiliates certain management contracts, unsold VOIs and the rights to recover and resell such interests, a portfolio of consumer loans and certain real property, additional owner-families and other assets (the "PMR Acquisition"), which added nine resorts to the Company's resort network.
	On October 5, 2012, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Aegean Blue Holdings Plc, thereby acquiring management contracts, unsold VOIs and the rights to recover and resell such interests, additional owner-families and certain other assets (the “Aegean Blue Acquisition”), which added five resorts located on the Greek Islands of Rhodes and Crete to the Company's resort network.
	The above transactions were effected through special-purpose subsidiaries and were structured such that the Company held the acquired assets, and assumed certain related liabilities, through special-purpose subsidiaries. The respective lenders to each special-purpose subsidiary had recourse only to such entity and thus the specific assets that were acquired in each transaction; however, such indebtedness was included in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. On May 9, 2014, all outstanding indebtedness of these special-purpose subsidiaries was repaid in full and these subsidiaries ceased to be special-purpose subsidiaries and became guarantor subsidiaries under the Senior Credit Facility.
	On July 24, 2013, concurrent with the closing of the IPO, the Company acquired all of the equity interests of Island One, Inc. and Crescent One, LLC (together, the “Island One Companies”) in exchange for 5,236,251 shares of common stock. These shares represented an aggregate purchase price of $73.3 million based on the IPO price of $14.00 per share. In this transaction, the Company acquired management contracts, unsold VOIs, a portfolio of consumer loans and other assets owned by the Island One Companies, adding eight additional managed resorts in Florida to the Company's resort network and more owner-families to its ownership base (the “Island One Acquisition”). Prior to the closing of the Island One Acquisition, the Company had provided sales and marketing services and HOA management oversight services to Island One, Inc. See "Note 24—Business Combinations" of the Company's consolidated financial statements included in the 2013 Form 10-K for further detail on the Island One Acquisition.
	On July 24, 2013, concurrent with the closing of the IPO, the Company acquired management agreements for certain resorts from Monarch Owner Services, LLC, Resort Services Group, LLC and Monarch Grand Vacations Management, LLC, each of which provided various management services to the resorts and the collection that were added to the Company's network through the PMR Acquisition (the “PMR Service Companies”), for $47.4 million in cash (the “PMR Service Companies Acquisition”). See "Note 24—Business Combinations" of the Company's consolidated financial statements included in the 2013 Form 10-K for further detail on the PMR Service Companies Acquisition.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'
	Note 2    — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Significant accounting policies are those policies that, in management's view, are most important in the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The methods, estimates and judgments that the Company uses in applying its accounting policies have a significant impact on the results that it reports in the financial statements. Some of these significant accounting policies require the Company to make subjective and complex judgments regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. See "Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" set forth in the 2013 Form 10-K for a discussion of the Company's significant accounting policies that require significant judgment.
	Principles of Consolidation—The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all subsidiaries of the Company. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated from the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
	Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including those related to revenue, bad debts, unsold Vacation Interests, net, Vacation Interest cost of sales, stock-based compensation and income taxes. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The results of the Company's analyses form the basis for making assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and the impact of such differences may be material to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
	Vacation Interest Sales Revenue, Net—Vacation interest sales revenue, net is comprised of Vacation Interest sales, net of a provision for uncollectible Vacation Interest sales revenue. Vacation interest sales consist of revenue from the sale of points, which can be utilized for vacations at any of the resorts in the Company's network for varying lengths of stay, net of an amount equal to the expense associated with certain sales incentives. A variety of sales incentives are routinely provided as sales tools. Sales centers have predetermined budgets for sales incentives and manage the use of incentives accordingly. A provision for uncollectible Vacation Interest sales revenue is recorded upon completion of each financed sale. The provision is calculated based on historical default experience associated with the customer's Fair Isaac Corporation ("FICO") score. Additionally, the Company analyzes its allowance for loan and contract losses quarterly and makes adjustments based on current trends in consumer loan delinquencies and defaults and other criteria, if necessary. Since late 2007, the Company has sold VOIs primarily in the form of points. All of the Company's Vacation Interest sales revenue, net is allocated to the Vacation Interest Sales and Financing business segment.
	Vacation Interest sales, net of provision, consists of the following for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):
		Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
		September 30,						September 30,
		2014			2013			2014			2013
	Vacation Interest sales	$	159,027		$	137,559		$	419,205		$	355,546
	Provision for uncollectible Vacation Interest sales revenue	(15,847		)	(13,851		)	(40,123		)	(29,731		)
	Vacation Interest sales, net of provision	$	143,180		$	123,708		$	379,082		$	325,815
	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes most of the current revenue recognition requirements. The core principle of this guidance is that an entity is required to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. New disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers are also required. This guidance is effective for the Company in its interim period ending March 31, 2017. Early application is not permitted. Entities must adopt the new guidance using one of two retrospective application methods. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of its adoption on its financial statements.
	In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40)—Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure ("ASU 2014-04"). ASU 2014-04 clarifies when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan should be derecognized and the real estate recognized. ASU 2014-04 is effective for public business entities for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company adopted ASU 2014-04 as of its interim period ended March 31, 2014. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Concentrations of Risk [Abstract]	'
Concentrations of Risk	'
	Note 3	— Concentrations of Risk
	Credit Risk—The Company is exposed to on-balance sheet credit risk related to its mortgages and contracts receivable. The Company offers financing to the buyers of VOIs at the Company’s resorts. The Company bears the risk of defaults on promissory notes delivered to it by buyers of VOIs. If a buyer of VOIs defaults, the Company generally attempts to resell such VOIs by exercise of a power of sale. The associated marketing, selling, and administrative costs from the original sale are not recovered and such costs must be incurred again to resell the VOIs. Although in many cases the Company may have recourse against a buyer of VOIs for the unpaid price, certain states have laws that limit the Company’s ability to recover personal judgments against customers who have defaulted on their loans. Accordingly, the Company has generally not pursued this remedy.
	The Company maintains cash, cash equivalents, cash in escrow, and restricted cash with various financial institutions. These financial institutions are located throughout North America, Europe and the Caribbean. A significant portion of the Company's cash is maintained with a select few banks and is, accordingly, subject to credit risk. Periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of financial institutions maintaining the deposits are performed to evaluate and mitigate, if necessary, any credit risk.
	Availability of Funding Sources—The Company has historically funded mortgages and contracts receivable and unsold Vacation Interests with borrowings through its financing facilities and internally generated funds. Borrowings are in turn repaid with the proceeds received by the Company from repayments of such mortgages and contracts receivable. To the extent that the Company is not successful in maintaining or replacing existing financings, it may have to curtail its sales and marketing operations or sell assets, thereby resulting in a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
	Geographic Concentration—Currently, portions of the Company's consumer loan portfolio are concentrated in certain geographic regions within the U.S. As of September 30, 2014, the Company's loans to California, Arizona and Florida residents constituted 31.7%, 8.8% and 5.6%, respectively, of the consumer loan portfolio. The deterioration of the economic condition and financial well-being of the regions in which the Company has significant loan concentrations, such as California, Arizona or Florida, could adversely affect its consumer loan portfolio, business and results of operations. No other state or foreign country concentration accounted for in excess of 5.0% of the portfolio. The credit risk inherent in such concentrations is dependent upon regional and general economic stability, which affects property values and the financial well-being of the borrowers.
	Interest Rate Risk—Since a significant portion of the Company's indebtedness bears interest at variable rates, any increase in interest rates beyond amounts covered under the Company’s interest rate cap agreements or swap agreements, particularly if sustained, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
	The Company derives net interest income from its financing activities because the interest rates it charges its customers who finance the purchase of their VOIs exceed the interest rates the Company pays to its lenders. Since the Company’s customer receivables generally bear interest at fixed rates, increases in interest rates will erode the spread in interest rates that the Company has historically obtained.
	Between July 2010 and December 2012, the Company entered into a series of interest rate cap agreements (the "2010 and 2012 Cap Agreements") to manage its exposure to interest rate increases. The 2010 and 2012 Cap Agreements expired on July 20, 2013.
	On July 20, 2013, as required by the Conduit Facility (see "Note 16—Borrowings" for the definition of the Conduit Facility), the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $55.0 million (the “July 2013 Swap”) that was scheduled to mature on July 20, 2023, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company paid interest at a fixed rate of 2.18% based on a floating notional amount according to a pre-determined amortization schedule and received interest based on one-month floating LIBOR.
	On August 20, 2013, as required by the Conduit Facility, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $35.0 million (the “August 2013 Swap”) that was scheduled to mature on August 20, 2023, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company paid interest at a fixed rate of 2.42% based on a floating notional amount according to a pre-determined amortization schedule and received interest based on one-month floating LIBOR.
	On November 20, 2013, the July 2013 Swap and the August 2013 Swap were terminated concurrent with the paydown of the Conduit Facility. A portion of the proceeds from the Diamond Resorts Owner Trust ("DROT") 2013-2 Notes (see "Note 16—Borrowings" for the definition of the DROT 2013-2 Notes) were used to pay off the then-outstanding balance on the Conduit Facility and the amounts due under the July 2013 Swap and August 2013 Swap.
	On March 20, 2014, as required by the Conduit Facility, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $20.0 million (the "March 2014 Swap") that is scheduled to mature on March 20, 2024, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company pays interest at a fixed rate of 2.65% based on a floating notional amount according to a pre-determined amortization schedule and receives interest based on one-month floating LIBOR.
	On April 21, 2014, as required by the Conduit Facility, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $10.0 million (the "April 2014 Swap") that is scheduled to mature on March 20, 2024, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company pays interest at a fixed rate of 2.58% based on a floating notional amount according to a pre-determined amortization schedule and receives interest based on one-month floating LIBOR.
	On June 27, 2014, as required by the Conduit Facility, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $45.0 million (the "June 2014 Swap") that is scheduled to mature on June 20, 2024, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company pays interest at a fixed rate of 2.48% based on a floating notional amount according to a pre-determined amortization schedule and receives interest based on one-month floating LIBOR.
	On September 30, 2014, as required by the Conduit Facility, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $55.0 million (the "September 2014 Swap") that is scheduled to mature on September 20, 2024, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company pays interest at a fixed rate of 2.67% based on a floating notional amount according to a pre-determined amortization schedule and receives interest based on one-month floating LIBOR.
	As of September 30, 2014, the aggregate fair value of the March 2014 Swap, the April 2014 Swap, the June 2014 Swap and the September 2014 Swap was calculated to be $0.2 million based on valuation reports provided by counterparties.
	On October 20, 2014, the March 2014 Swap, the April 2014 Swap, the June 2014 Swap and the September 2014 Swap were terminated. Also on October 20, 2014, as required by the Conduit Facility, the Company entered into a new interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $112.5 million (the "October 2014 Swap") that is scheduled to mature on October 20, 2024, to manage it's exposure to fluctuation interest rates. The Company pays interest at a fixed rate of 2.45% based on a floating notional amount according to a pre-determined amortization schedule and receives interest based on one-month floating LIBOR.

	Note 5 — Mortgages and Contracts Receivable and Allowance for Loan and Contract Losses
	The Company provides financing to purchasers of VOIs at North American and St. Maarten sales centers that are collateralized by their VOIs. Eligibility for this financing is determined based on the customers’ FICO credit scores. As of September 30, 2014, the mortgages and contracts receivable bore interest at fixed rates between 0.0% and 18.0%. The terms of the mortgages and contracts receivable range from one year to 15 years (with the majority being 10 years) and such financing may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The weighted average interest rate of outstanding mortgages and contracts receivable was 14.9% and 15.1% as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
	The Company charges off mortgages and contracts receivable upon the earliest of (i) the completion of cancellation or foreclosure proceedings or (ii) the customer's account becoming over 180 days delinquent. Once a customer has made six timely payments, following the event leading to the charge-off, the charge-off is reversed. A default in a customer's initial payment results in a rescission of the sale. All collection and foreclosure costs related to delinquent loans are expensed as incurred. Mortgages and contracts receivable between 90 and 180 days past due as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were 1.9% and 2.5%, respectively, of gross mortgages and contracts receivable.
	Mortgages and contracts receivable originated by the Company are recorded net of deferred loan and contract origination costs, and the related allowance for loan and contract losses. Loan and contract origination costs incurred in connection with providing financing for VOIs are capitalized and amortized over the estimated life of the mortgages or contracts receivable, based on historical prepayments, as a decrease to interest revenue using the effective interest method. Amortization of deferred loan and contract origination costs charged to interest revenue was $2.4 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $6.6 million and $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	The Company recorded a $3.3 million discount on April 27, 2007 on the mortgage pool acquired in connection with the acquisition and merger with Sunterra Corporation, which discount was being amortized over the life of the related acquired mortgage pool. This discount was fully amortized during the three months ended March 31, 2014, and, accordingly, as of September 30, 2014 there was no net unamortized discount on this acquired mortgage pool. As of December 31, 2013, the net unamortized discount on this acquired mortgage pool was $0.2 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, a de minimis amount of amortization was recorded as an increase to interest income, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, amortization of $0.1 million was recorded as an increase to interest income. No amortization was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, $0.2 million of amortization was recorded as an increase to interest income.
	The Company recorded a $0.8 million premium on July 1, 2011, on the purchased mortgage pool that was part of the Tempus Resorts Acquisition, which was being amortized over the life of the related acquired mortgage pool. This premium was fully amortized during the year ended December 31, 2013 as a result of the loans being sold as part of the Tempus 2013 Notes (see "Note 16—Borrowings" for the definition of the Tempus 2013 Notes). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, amortization of $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, were recorded as a decrease to interest revenue.
	The Company recorded a $0.1 million premium on May 21, 2012 on the mortgage pool purchased in the PMR Acquisition, which was being amortized over the life of the related acquired mortgage pool. This premium was fully amortized during the year ended December 31, 2013. No amortization was recorded as a decrease to interest revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
	The Company recorded a $0.6 million premium on July 24, 2013 on the mortgage pool purchased in the Island One Acquisition, which is being amortized over the life of the related acquired mortgage pool. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the net unamortized premium was $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, $0.1 million of amortization was recorded as a decrease to interest revenue, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, $0.2 million was recorded as a decrease to interest revenue. No amortization was recorded as a decrease to interest revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The ASC 978 adjustments increased the provision for uncollectible Vacation Interest sales revenue by a de minimis amount for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and increased the provision by $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The ASC 978 adjustments increased the provision for uncollectible Vacation Interest sales revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 by a de minimis amount and increased the provision by $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. There were no adjustments for the rescission period for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

	Note 6	— Transactions with Related Parties
	Due from Related Parties, Net, and Due to Related Parties, Net
	Amounts due from related parties, net, and due to related parties, net, consist primarily of transactions with HOAs or Collections for which the Company acts as the management company. Due from related parties, net, transactions include (i) management fees for the Company’s role as the management company; (ii) certain expenses reimbursed by HOAs and Collections and (iii) the allocation of a portion of the Company’s Vacation Interest carrying costs, management and member services, consolidated resort operations, loan portfolio and general and administrative expenses according to a pre-determined schedule approved by the board of directors at each HOA and Collection. Due to related parties, net, transactions include (i) the amounts due to HOAs under inventory recovery agreements that the Company enters into regularly with certain HOAs and similar agreements with the Collections, pursuant to which the Company recaptures VOIs, either in the form of vacation points or vacation intervals, and brings them into the Company’s inventory for sale to customers; (ii) the maintenance fee and assessment fee liability owed to HOAs or Collections for VOIs owned by the Company (this liability is recorded on January 1 of each year for the entire amount of the annual maintenance and assessment fees, and is relieved throughout the year by payments remitted to the HOAs and the Collections; these maintenance and assessment fees are also recorded as prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and amortized ratably over the year); (iii) cleaning fees owed to the HOAs for room stays incurred by the Company’s customers; (iv) subsidy liabilities according to a developer guarantee at a resort and (v) miscellaneous transactions with other non-HOA related parties.
	Amounts due from related parties and due to related parties, some of which are due on demand, carry no interest. Due to the fact that the right of offset exists between the Company and the HOAs and the Collections, the Company evaluates amounts due to and from each HOA and Collection at each reporting period to reduce the receivables and the payables on each party's books of record. Any remaining balances are then reclassified as either a net due to or a net due from related parties for each HOA and Collection in accordance with the requirements of ASC 210, "Balance Sheet— Offsetting."

Goodwill [Abstract]	'
Goodwill	'
	Note 11 — Goodwill
	Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. The Company does not amortize goodwill, but rather evaluates goodwill for potential impairment on an annual basis or at other times during the year if events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit, as defined in ASC 350-20, "Intangibles—Goodwill," is below the carrying amount. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company performed its annual evaluation of potential impairment of goodwill as required in the ordinary course of business. The Company assessed various qualitative factors and determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of any of its reporting units was below the carrying amount. As such, the Company concluded that the first and second steps of the goodwill impairment test were unnecessary.
	The balance at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 represents the goodwill recorded in connection with the Island One Acquisition completed on July 24, 2013.
	See "Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" set forth in the 2013 Form 10-K for further detail on the Company's policy related to goodwill impairment testing.

	Total other intangible assets	$	263,951	$	(65,319	)	$	198,632
	Amortization expense for management contracts is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the management contracts, ranging from five to 25 years. Amortization expense for management contracts was $3.5 million and $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $10.4 million and $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Amortization expense for member relationships, member exchange clubs, distributor relationships and other is recorded over the period of time that the relationships are expected to produce cash flows. Amortization expense for member relationships, member exchange clubs, distributor relationships and other intangibles was $1.3 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $4.4 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. Membership relationships and distributor relationships have estimated useful lives ranging from three to 30 years; however, the Company expects to generate significantly more cash flows during the earlier years of the relationships than the later years. Consequently, amortization expenses on these relationships decrease significantly over the lives of the relationships. See "Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" set forth in the 2013 Form 10-K for further detail on the Company's policy related to impairment testing of the Company's intangible assets.
	The estimated aggregate amortization expense for intangible assets as of September 30, 2014 is expected to be $17.6 million, $14.3 million, $13.5 million, $13.0 million and $12.9 million for the successive 12 month periods ending September 30, 2015 through 2019, respectively, and $112.1 million for the remaining lives of these intangible assets.

Deferred Revenues	'
	Note 15 — Deferred Revenues
	The Company records deferred revenues for payments received or billed but not earned for various activities.
	Deferred Sampler Packages revenue—sold but unused trial VOIs. The Company generates revenue on sales of Sampler Packages. This revenue is recognized when the purchaser completes a stay at one of the Company’s resorts or the trial period expires, whichever is earlier. Such revenue is recorded as a reduction to Vacation Interest carrying cost in accordance with ASC 978 (with the exception of the Company’s European sampler product and a U.S. fixed-term product, which have a duration of between three and four years and, as such, are treated as Vacation Interest sales revenue).
	Deferred maintenance and reserve fee revenue—maintenance fees billed as of January first of each year and earned ratably over the year for the two resorts in St. Maarten where the Company functions as the HOA. In addition, the owners are billed for capital project assessments to repair and replace the amenities or to reserve the potential out-of-pocket deductibles for hurricanes and other natural disasters. These assessments are deferred until the refurbishment activity occurs, at which time the amounts collected are recognized as consolidated resort operations revenue, with an equal amount recognized as consolidated resort operations expense.
	Club deferred revenue—annual membership fees in the Clubs billed to members (offset by an estimated uncollectible amount) and amortized ratably over a one-year period and optional reservation protection fees recognized over an approximate life of the member's reservation, which is generally six months on average.
	Accrued guest deposits—amounts received from guests for future rentals recognized as revenue when earned.
	Deferred management fee and allocation revenue—management fees and allocations paid in advance by the HOAs to the Company for its role as the management company. The Company allocates a portion of its Vacation Interest carrying costs, management and member services, consolidated resort operations, loan portfolio, and general and administrative expenses to the HOAs. These advance payments are recorded as deferred revenue when they are received and recognized as revenue during the period in which they are earned.
	Deferred revenue from an exchange company—unearned portion of a $5.0 million payment that the Company received in 2008 as consideration for granting the exclusive rights to Interval International to provide call center services and exchange services to the Company. In accordance with ASC 605-50, "Revenue Recognition — Customer Payments and Incentives," the $5.0 million was being recognized over the 10-year term of the agreements as a reduction of the costs incurred for the services provided by Interval International. In April 2014, the Company renegotiated the contract with Interval International, relieving the Company from its obligation to repay the unearned portion to Interval International and resulting in the release of this deferred revenue to the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as a reduction of costs incurred for the services provided by Interval International.
	Deferred revenues as of the dates presented below consisted of the following (in thousands):
		September 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
	Deferred Sampler Packages revenue	$	58,042	$	54,010

Borrowings	'
	Note 16 — Borrowings
	Senior Credit Facility. On May 9, 2014, the Company entered into the Senior Credit Facility Agreement, which provides for a $470.0 million Senior Credit Facility (including a $445.0 million term loan, issued with 0.5% of original issue discount and having a term of seven years and a $25.0 million revolving line of credit having a term of five years). Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company's option, at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 450 basis points, with a one percent LIBOR floor applicable only to the term loan portion of the Senior Credit Facility, or an alternate base rate plus 350 basis points.
	The Company used the proceeds of the term loan portion of the Senior Credit Facility, as well as approximately $5.4 million of cash on hand, to redeem all of the remaining outstanding Senior Secured Notes, including the applicable redemption premium and accrued and unpaid interest up to (but excluding) the June 9, 2014 redemption date, and to repay all outstanding indebtedness, together with accrued interest and fees, under the ILXA Inventory Loan, the Tempus Inventory Loan and the DPM Inventory Loan. In conjunction with the Company's entry into the Senior Credit Facility, the Company also terminated the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility, under which no borrowings were then outstanding. See below for the definition of and further detail on these retired borrowings.
	Other significant terms of the Senior Credit Facility include: (i) one percent minimum annual amortization due in quarterly payments of $1.1 million; (ii) an excess cash flow sweep (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility Agreement) beginning in the second quarter of 2015 (for 2015, relating only to the cash generated for the period from July 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014 and, thereafter, based on annual results) of a maximum of 50%, stepping down to a 25% excess cash flow sweep when the secured leverage ratio (which represents the ratio of (1) secured total debt to (2) Adjusted EBITDA for the most recent four fiscal quarters for which financial statements are available) is greater than 1:1, but equal to or less than 1.5:1, and no excess cash flow sweep if the secured leverage ratio is less than or equal to 1:1; (iii) a soft call provision of 1.01 for the first 12 months of the Senior Credit Facility; (iv) no ongoing maintenance financial covenants for the term loan, and a financial covenant calculation required on the revolving line of credit if outstanding loans under the revolving line of credit exceed 25% of the commitment amount at the end of any quarter; (v) a non-committed incremental $150.0 million facility available for borrowing, plus additional amounts greater than $150.0 million, subject in the case of such additional amount only to the Company meeting a required secured leverage ratio and (vi) the Company's ability to make restricted payments, including the payment of dividends or share repurchases, up to an aggregate of $25.0 million over the term of the loan (less certain investment and debt amounts specified under the Senior Credit Facility Agreement), plus the portion of cash flow that is not used to amortize debt pursuant to the excess cash flow provision described above, subject to, among other things, the Company's meeting a required total leverage ratio (which represents the ratio of (a) total debt to (b) Adjusted EBITDA for the most recent four fiscal quarters for which financial statements are available).
	At September 30, 2014, the outstanding principal balance under the term loan was $443.9 million, and no principal balance was outstanding under the revolving line of credit.
	Senior Secured Notes. The Senior Secured Notes carried an interest rate of 12.0% and were scheduled to mature in August 2018. On August 23, 2013, DRC completed a tender offer to repurchase Senior Secured Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $50.6 million using proceeds from the IPO (the "Tender Offer"), as required by the Notes Indenture in the event of an IPO. Holders that validly tendered their Senior Secured Notes received $1,120 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to (but excluding) August 23, 2013.
	On June 9, 2014, DRC redeemed all of the remaining outstanding principal amount under the Senior Secured Notes at a redemption price equal to 108.077% of the face value of the Senior Secured Notes being redeemed (or $1,080.77 per $1,000 in principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes). The total redemption amount paid was $418.9 million, which included $374.4 million in principal amount of outstanding Senior Secured Notes, $30.2 million representing the applicable redemption premium and $14.2 million of accrued and unpaid interest up to (but excluding) June 9, 2014. The redemption of the Senior Secured Notes on June 9, 2014 was paid using a portion of the proceeds from the term loan portion of the Senior Credit Facility.
	Conduit Facility. On April 11, 2013, the Company entered into an amended and restated Conduit Facility agreement that extended the maturity date of the facility to April 10, 2015. That amended and restated Conduit Facility provides for a 24-month facility that is annually renewable for 364-day periods at the election of the lenders, bears interest at either LIBOR or the commercial paper rate (each having a floor of 0.50%) plus 3.25%, and has a non-use fee of 0.75%. The overall advance rate on loans receivable in the portfolio is limited to 85% of the aggregate face value of the eligible loans. The maximum borrowing capacity was $125.0 million on April 11, 2013 and was subsequently increased to $175.0 million on September 26, 2014, when the Company entered into an amendment to the amended and restated Conduit Facility agreement.

On January 23, 2013, the Company completed a securitization transaction and issued the DROT Series 2013-1 Class A and B Notes with a face value of $93.6 million (the "DROT 2013-1 Notes"). The DROT 2013-1 Notes mature on January 20, 2025 and carry a weighted average interest rate of 2.0%. The net proceeds were used to pay off the $71.3 million then-outstanding principal balance under the Conduit Facility and to pay expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of the DROT 2013-1 Notes, including the funding of a reserve account required thereby.
	On September 20, 2013, the Company completed a securitization transaction and issued the Diamond Resorts Tempus Owner Trust 2013 Notes with a face value of $31.0 million (the "Tempus 2013 Notes").

	On October 21, 2013, the Company redeemed all of the DROT 2009 Class A notes and Class B notes previously issued on October 15, 2009 as part of the 2009 securitization transaction. The aggregate redemption prices were $24.4 million and $1.8 million, respectively, and were funded using the proceeds from borrowings under the Conduit Facility.
	On November 20, 2013, the Company completed another securitization transaction that was comprised of AA and A+ rated notes (the "DROT 2013-2 Notes") with a face value of $225.0 million that included a $44.7 million prefunding account. The initial proceeds of $180.3 million were used to pay off the $152.8 million then-outstanding principal balance, accrued interest and fees associated with the Conduit Facility, terminate the July 2013 and August 2013 Swaps, pay certain expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of the DROT 2013-2 Notes and fund related reserve accounts with the remaining proceeds transferred to the Company for general corporate use. As of December 31, 2013, cash in escrow and restricted cash included $23.3 million related to the prefunding account, all of which was released to the Company's unrestricted cash account in January 2014.

	and joint marketing venture, whereby DRI Quorum may sell eligible consumer loans and in-transit loans to Quorum on a nonrecourse, permanent basis, provided that the underlying consumer obligor is a Quorum credit union member. The LSSA was amended and restated as of December 31, 2012 to increase the aggregate minimum committed amount to $80.0 million and to extend the term of the agreement to December 31, 2015; provided that Quorum may further extend the term for additional one-year periods by written notice.
	ILXA Receivables Loan and Inventory Loan. On August 31, 2010, the Company completed the ILX Acquisition through its wholly-owned subsidiary, ILX Acquisition, Inc. ("ILXA").

The Tempus Acquisition Loan bore interest at a rate of 18.0% and was scheduled to mature on June 30, 2015.
	On July 1, 2011, an aggregate of $7.5 million of the Tempus Acquisition Loan was used by Tempus Acquisition, LLC to purchase a 10% participating interest in the Tempus Receivables Loan (defined below), and the remaining proceeds were loaned to Mystic Dunes, LLC pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement having payment terms identical to the Tempus Acquisition Loan (the "Mystic Dunes Loan").

On September 11, 2013, the Company entered into a $25.0 million revolving credit facility with Credit Suisse AG acting as the administrative agent for a group of lenders (the “2013 Revolving Credit Facility”). The 2013 Revolving Credit Facility provided that, subject to customary borrowing conditions, the Company could, from time to time prior to the fourth anniversary of the effective date of the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility, borrow, repay and re-borrow loans in an aggregate amount outstanding at any time not to exceed $25.0 million, and borrowings under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility bore interest, at the Company's option, at a variable rate equal to the sum of LIBOR plus 4.0% per annum or an adjusted base rate plus 3.0% per annum. The repayment of borrowings and certain other obligations under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility were secured on a pari passu basis by the collateral that secured the Senior Secured Notes. On May 9, 2014, the Company terminated the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility in conjunction with its entry into the Senior Credit Facility, which includes a $25.0 million revolving line of credit. There was no principal balance outstanding under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility immediately prior to its termination.
	Island One Borrowings. In connection with the Island One Acquisition completed on July 24, 2013, the Company assumed the loan sale agreement entered into by a subsidiary of Island One, Inc. on January 31, 2012 with Quorum that provides for an aggregate minimum $15.0 million loan sale facility (the "Island One Quorum Funding Facility"). Under the Island One Quorum Funding Facility, eligible consumer loans and in-transit loans are sold to Quorum on a non-recourse, permanent basis, provided that the underlying consumer obligor is, or becomes, a Quorum credit union member. The Island One Quorum Funding Facility provides for a purchase period of three years at a variable program fee of the published Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 6.0% with a floor of 8.0%. The loan purchase commitment is conditional upon certain portfolio delinquency and default performance measurements. As of September 30, 2014, the weighted average purchase price payment of the Quorum Facility and the Island One Quorum Funding Facility was 86.8% of the obligor loan amount and the weighted average program purchase fee was 5.5% of the obligor loan amount.
	In addition, in the Island One Acquisition, the Company assumed a mortgage-backed loan (the "Island One Receivables Loan") that bore interest at the published Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 5.5% with a floor of 7.0%. The Island One Receivables Loan was scheduled to mature on May 27, 2016 and was collateralized by certain consumer loan portfolios. The advance rates on loans receivable in the portfolio were limited to 70.0% to 90.0% of the face value of the eligible loans depending upon the credit quality of the underlying mortgages. The Island One Receivables Loan was subject to certain financial covenants, including a minimum tangible net worth and a maximum debt to tangible net worth ratio. On October 28, 2013, the Company paid off in full the then-outstanding principal balance under the Island One Receivables Loan in an amount equal to $4.1 million, using the Company's general corporate funds.
	Furthermore, in the Island One Acquisition, the Company assumed a conduit facility that was scheduled to mature on September 30, 2016 (the "Island One Conduit Facility") until it was paid off in full on February 11, 2014, using payments remitted by the Company's customers. The Island One Conduit Facility bore interest at a rate of 7.4% per annum, was secured by certain consumer loan portfolios and was guaranteed by Island One, Inc. The Company was required to make mandatory monthly principal payments based upon the aggregate remaining outstanding principal balance of the eligible underlying collateral.
	In the Island One Acquisition, the Company also assumed a note payable in the amount of $0.7 million secured by certain real property in Orlando, Florida (the "Island One Note Payable"). The loan bore interest at 5.0% per annum and required monthly principal and interest payments, until it was repaid in full on December 31, 2013, using the Company's general corporate funds.
	Notes Payable. The Company finances premiums on certain insurance policies under two unsecured notes, both of which are scheduled to mature in January 2015 and carry an interest rate of 3.1% per annum. In addition, the Company purchased certain software licenses during the three months ended June 30, 2014, with annual interest-free payments due for the next three years, and this obligation was recorded at fair value using a discount rate of 5.0%.

(3) Borrowing through special-purpose subsidiaries only
(4) Borrowing / funding availability is calculated as the difference between the maximum commitment amount and the outstanding principal balance; however, the actual availability is dependent on the amount of eligible loans that serve as the collateral for such borrowings.
Borrowing Restrictions and Limitations
All of the Company’s borrowing under the Senior Credit Facility, securitization notes and the Conduit Facility contain various restrictions and limitations that may affect the Company's business and affairs. These include, but are not limited to, restrictions and limitations relating to its ability to incur indebtedness and other obligations, to make investments and acquisitions and to pay dividends. The Company is also required to maintain certain financial ratios and comply with other financial and performance covenants. The failure of the Company to comply with any of these provisions, or to pay its obligations, could result in foreclosure by the lenders of their security interests in the Company’s assets, and could otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants as of September 30, 2014.

Income Taxes	'
	Note 17 — Income Taxes
	In accordance with ASC 740-270, Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods, the income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate based on estimated income before provision for income taxes for the full year ending December 31, 2014.
	The income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was determined based on pre-tax book income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, which was then adjusted for book-tax differences; however, because the Company included, prior to the Reorganization Transactions, U.S. entities not taxed at the corporate level, non-U.S. disregarded entities, differences in tax rates between the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, valuation allowances on its foreign and domestic net operating losses and other deferred tax assets, and rate change adjustments in calculating its income tax provision, the Company's estimated effective tax rate differed significantly from the federal statutory rate of 35% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

	Note 18 — Commitments and Contingencies
	Lease Agreements
	The Company conducts a significant portion of its operations from leased facilities, which include regional and global administrative facilities as well as off-premise booths and tour centers at or near active sales centers. The longest of these obligations extends into 2019. Many of these agreements have renewal options, subject to adjustments for inflation. In most cases, the Company expects that in the normal course of business, such leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases. Typically, these leases call for a minimum lease payment that increases over the life of the agreement by a fixed percentage or an amount based upon the change in a designated index. All of the facilities lease agreements are classified as operating leases.
	In connection with the Company's lease of an aircraft from Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC, Mr. Cloobeck entered into a guaranty in favor of Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC. Pursuant to this guaranty, Mr. Cloobeck guarantees the Company's lease payments and any related indebtedness to Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC. In connection with this aircraft lease and pursuant to this lease agreement, the Company paid Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC $0.3 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, and $0.9 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The Company did not compensate Mr. Cloobeck for providing such guaranties.
	In addition, the Company leases office and other equipment under both long-term and short-term lease arrangements, which are generally classified as operating leases.
	Purchase Obligations
	The Company has entered into various purchase obligations relating to sales center remodeling, resort amenity improvement and corporate office expansion projects. The total remaining commitment was $1.3 million as of September 30, 2014.
	Long-Term Incentive Plan
	During the first quarter of 2014, the Company implemented a long-term incentive plan to retain certain key management personnel (none of whom were executive officers of the Company at the time of grant). All amounts due under this plan are payable in the first quarter of 2016 if certain Company objectives are met and the respective participants are actively employed by the Company at such time. The Company granted a total of $3.5 million in long-term incentives under this plan, which is being expensed ratably over the two-year period ending December 31, 2015.
	Hurricane Odile
	In September 2014, Hurricane Odile, a Category 4 hurricane, inflicted widespread damage on the Baja California peninsula, particularly in the state of Baja California Sur, in which the Cabo Azul Resort, one of the Company’s managed resorts, is located.
	The Company owns unsold Vacation Interests and property and equipment at the Cabo Azul Resort and some of its assets have suffered significant damage. The Cabo Azul Resort will remain closed for the next several months as the property is repaired; however, management believes the Company has sufficient property insurance and business interruption insurance coverage so that damage caused by Hurricane Odile and the subsequent business interruption will not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]	'
Fair Value Measurements	'
	Note 19 — Fair Value Measurements
	ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements" ("ASC 820"), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
	•	Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
	•	Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs or significant value drivers are observable.
	•	Level 3: Unobservable inputs used when little or no market data is available.
	As of September 30, 2014, the only assets and liabilities of the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis were its derivative instruments, which consisted of the March 2014 Swap, the April 2014 Swap, the June 2014 Swap and the September 2014 Swap and had an aggregate fair value of $0.2 million based on valuation reports provided by counterparties and were classified as Level 3, based on the fact that the credit risk data used for the valuation is not directly observable and cannot be corroborated by observable market data. The Company’s assessment of the significant inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. See "Note 3—Concentrations of Risk" for further detail on these swap agreements.
	As of September 30, 2014, mortgages and contracts receivable had a balance of $464.4 million, net of allowance. The allowance for loan and contract losses against the mortgages and contracts receivable is derived using a static pool analysis to develop historical default percentages based on FICO scores to apply to the mortgage and contract population. The Company evaluates other factors such as economic conditions, industry trends and past due aging reports in order to determine the adjustments needed to true up the allowance, which adjusts the carrying value of mortgages and contracts receivable to management's best estimate of collectability. As a result of such evaluation, the Company believes that the carrying value of the mortgages and contracts receivable approximated its fair value at September 30, 2014. These financial assets were classified as Level 3, as there is little market data available.
	As of September 30, 2014, the borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility were classified as Level 2 based on an internal analysis performed by the Company utilizing the discounted cash flow model. The Company believes the fair value of the Senior Credit Facility approximated its carrying value at such date due to the fact that it was recently issued and, therefore, measured using other significant observable inputs.
	As of September 30, 2014, the Company’s DROT 2011 Notes, DROT 2013-1 Notes, the Tempus 2013 Notes and DROT 2013-2 Notes were classified as Level 2. The fair value of the DROT 2011 Notes, DROT 2013-1 Notes and DROT 2013-2 Notes, was determined with the assistance of an investment banking firm, which the Company believes approximated similar instruments in active markets. The Company believes the fair value of the Tempus 2013 Notes approximated their carrying value due to the fact that they were recently issued and, therefore measured using other significant observable inputs.
	As of September 30, 2014, the Quorum Facility and the Island One Quorum Funding Facility were classified as Level 2 based on an internal analysis performed by the Company utilizing the discounted cash flow model and the quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active.
	As of September 30, 2014, the fair value of all other debt instruments was not calculated, based on the fact that they were either due within one year or were immaterial.
	As of December 31, 2013, mortgages and contracts receivable had a balance of $405.5 million, net of allowance. The allowance for loan and contract losses against the mortgages and contracts receivable is derived using a static pool analysis to develop historical default percentages based on FICO scores to apply to the mortgage and contract population. The Company evaluates other factors such as economic conditions, industry trends and past due aging reports in order to determine the adjustments needed to true up the allowance, which adjusts the carrying value of mortgages and contracts receivable to management's best estimate of collectability. As a result of such evaluation, the Company believes that the carrying value of the mortgages and contracts receivable approximated its fair value at December 31, 2013. These financial assets are classified as Level 3, as there is little market data available.
	The borrowings under the Senior Secured Notes were classified as Level 2 as of December 31, 2013 based on a quoted price of $110.5 on a restricted bond market, as they were not actively traded on the open market.
	As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s DROT 2011 Notes, DROT 2013-1 Notes, the Tempus 2013 Notes, and DROT 2013-2 Notes were classified as Level 2. The fair value of the DROT 2011 Notes, DROT 2013-1 Notes and DROT 2013-2 Notes was determined with the assistance of an investment banking firm, which the Company believes approximated similar instruments in active markets. The Company believes the fair value of the Tempus 2013 Notes approximated their carrying value due to the fact that they were recently issued and, therefore, measured using other significant observable inputs including the current refinancing activities.
	As of December 31, 2013, the Quorum Facility, the ILXA Receivables Loan, the ILXA Inventory Loan, the Tempus Inventory Loan, the DPM Inventory Loan, the Island One Quorum Funding Facility and the Island One Conduit Facility were classified as Level 2 based on an internal analysis performed by the Company utilizing the discounted cash flow model and the quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active.
	As of December 31, 2013, the fair value of all other debt instruments was not calculated, based on the fact that they were either due within one year or were immaterial.
	In accordance with ASC 820, the Company also applied the provisions of fair value measurement to various non-recurring measurements for the Company’s financial and non-financial assets and liabilities and recorded the impairment charges. The Company’s non-financial assets consist of property and equipment, which are recorded at cost, net of depreciation, unless impaired, and assets held for sale, which are recorded at the lower of cost or their estimated fair value less costs to sell.
	The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of September 30, 2014 were as follows (in thousands):

Stock-Based Compensation [Abstract]	'
Stock-Based Compensation	'
	Note 20 — Stock-Based Compensation
	On July 8, 2013, the board of directors of the Company approved the Diamond Resorts International, Inc. 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2013 Plan"), which authorized the issuance of non-qualified and incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock, performance units, other stock-based awards and annual cash incentive awards to: (i) officers and employees of the Company or any of the Company's subsidiaries (including leased employees and co-employees with a professional employer organization); (ii) non-employee directors of the Company or (iii) consultants or advisors to the Company or any of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Eligible Persons”). Under the 2013 Plan, a total of 9,733,245 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance. As of September 30, 2014, 1,515,960 shares remained available for issuance under the 2013 Plan.
	On July 18, 2013, the Company granted to the former holders of DRP Class B common units ("BCUs") non-qualified stock options, which were immediately vested, exercisable for an aggregate of 3,760,215 shares of common stock, at an option price of $14.00 per share, in part to maintain the incentive value intended when the Company originally issued those BCUs to these individuals and to provide an incentive for such individuals to continue providing service to the Company. The grantees of these immediately vested options include Messrs. Cloobeck, Kraff, David F. Palmer (President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company), Bentley, Lanznar and two employees of the Company. Messrs. Cloobeck, Palmer, Bentley and Lanznar are not employed or compensated directly by the Company, but are rather employed or independently contracted and compensated by HM&C pursuant to the HM&C Agreement. See "Note 6—Transactions with Related Parties" for further detail on the HM&C Agreement.
	On July 18, 2013, the Company also issued non-qualified stock options exercisable for an aggregate of 2,672,100 shares of common stock to certain Eligible Persons (including individuals who received the options discussed in the immediately preceding paragraph) in connection with the IPO at an option price of $14.00 per share with a service-only vesting condition. 25% of shares issuable upon the exercise of such options vested immediately on the grant date and the remaining 75% vest equally on each of the next three anniversary dates. All options issued on July 18, 2013 expire on July 18, 2023.
	From July 19, 2013 to September 30, 2014, the Company issued additional non-qualified stock options, exercisable for an aggregate of 1,736,000 shares of common stock, to Eligible Persons, each at an option price equal to the market price on the applicable grant date. 25% of shares issuable upon the exercise of such options vested immediately on the grant date and the remaining 75% vest equally on each of the next three grant date anniversary dates. All of these options expire ten years from the grant date.
	The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation issued to its employees and non-employee directors (in their capacity as such) in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" ("ASC 718"). For a stock-based award with service-only vesting conditions, the Company measures compensation expense at fair value on the grant date and recognizes this expense in the statement of operations and comprehensive income over the vesting period during which the employees of the Company provide service in exchange for the award. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to employees and independent contractors of HM&C and Mr. Kraff (the "Non-Employees," and the stock-based compensation issued to such individuals, the "Non-Employee Grants") in accordance with ASC 505-50, "Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees." The fair value of an equity instrument issued to Non-Employees is measured by using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the date at the earlier of: (i) a commitment for performance by the grantees has been reached or (ii) the performance by the grantees is complete. Accordingly, these grants are re-measured at each balance sheet date as additional services are performed.
	The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of the stock options granted to its employees and Non-Employees. At September 30, 2014, the expected volatility was calculated based on the historical volatility of the stock prices for a group of identified peer companies for the expected term of the stock options on the grant date (which is significantly greater than the volatility of the S&P 500® index as a whole during the same period) due to the lack of historical stock trading prices of the Company. The average expected option life represented the period of time the stock options were expected to be outstanding at the issuance date based on management’s estimate using the simplified method prescribed under SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14 Share-Based Payment ("SAB 14") for employee grants and contractual terms for non-employee grants. The risk-free interest rate was calculated based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield with a remaining term that approximated the expected option life assumed at the date of issuance. The expected annual dividend per share was 0% based on the Company’s expected dividend rate.
	The following table sets forth fair value per share information, including related assumptions, used to determine compensation cost for the Company’s non-qualified stock options consistent with the requirements of ASC 718.

	The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value that would have been realized by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on September 30, 2014. The intrinsic value of a stock option on any date is the excess of the Company’s closing stock price on that date over the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares subject to the option.

Net Income (Loss) per Share	'
	Note 22 — Net income (loss) per share
	The Company calculates net income per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share." Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss for common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period plus potentially dilutive common shares, such as stock options and restricted stock.
	Dilutive potential common shares are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all options and restricted stock are used to repurchase common stock at market value. The amount of shares remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represents the potentially dilutive effect of the securities.
	For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the potentially dilutive stock options and restricted stock excluded from the net income (loss) per share computation were 33,561 and 1,103, respectively, as their effect would be antidilutive due to the net loss reported by the Company.
	The table below sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):
		Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2014		2013			2014		2013

Post-retirement Benefit Plan [Abstract]	'
Post-retirement Benefit Plan	'
	Note 23 — Post-retirement Benefit Plan
	In 1999, the Company entered into a collective labor agreement with the employees at its resorts in St. Maarten, where the Company currently functions as the HOA (the "Collective Labor Agreement"). The Collective Labor Agreement provides for an employee service allowance to be paid to employees upon their termination, resignation or retirement. Upon review of the Collective Labor Agreement, the Company determined that the employee service allowance should be accounted for as a defined benefit plan (the "Defined Benefit Plan") in accordance with the requirements of ASC 715, "Compensation—Retirement Benefits."
	The Company’s net obligation in respect of the Defined Benefit Plan is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current financial period and prior periods. The recording of the Defined Benefit Plan resulted in the recognition of (i) an unfunded pension liability of $2.9 million as of September 30, 2014; (ii) service costs, interest costs and amortized prior service costs of $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $0.8 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and (iii) other comprehensive loss of $2.0 million for the accumulated benefit obligation of the Defined Benefit Plan related to the years prior to January 1, 2012. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, $0.1 million of benefits were paid to employees in accordance with the Defined Benefit Plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, benefits totaling $0.2 million, were paid to employees in accordance with the Defined Benefit Plan.
	A summary of benefit obligations, fair value of plan assets and funded status is as follows (in thousands):

Segment Reporting [Abstract]	'
Segment Reporting	'
	Note 24 — Segment Reporting
	The Company presents its results of operations in two segments: (i) Hospitality and Management Services, which includes operations related to the management of resort properties and the Collections, operations of the Clubs, operations of the properties located in St. Maarten for which the Company functions as the HOA, food and beverage venues owned and managed by the Company and the provision of other hospitality and management services and (ii) Vacation Interest Sales and Financing, which includes operations relating to the marketing and sales of Vacation Interests, as well as the consumer financing activities related to such sales. While certain line items reflected on the statement of operations and comprehensive income fall completely into one of these business segments, other line items relate to revenues or expenses that are applicable to more than one segment. For line items that are applicable to more than one segment, revenues or expenses are allocated by management, which involves significant estimates. Certain expense items (principally corporate interest expense and depreciation and amortization) are not, in management’s view, allocable to either of these business segments, as they apply to the entire Company. In addition, general and administrative expenses (which exclude Hospitality and Management Services related overhead that is allocated to the HOAs and Collections) are not allocated to either of these business segments because, historically, management has not allocated these expenses for purposes of evaluating the Company’s different operational divisions. Accordingly, these expenses are presented under Corporate and Other.
	Management believes that it is impracticable to allocate specific assets and liabilities related to each business segment. In addition, management does not review balance sheets by business segment as part of their evaluation of operating segment performances. Consequently, no balance sheet segment reports have been presented.
	Information about the Company’s operations in different business segments for the periods presented below is as follows:

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt	'
	Note 25 — Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
	On May 9, 2014, the Company repaid all outstanding indebtedness under the ILXA Inventory Loan, the Tempus Inventory Loan and the DPM Inventory Loan using a portion of the proceeds from the term loan portion of the Senior Credit Facility. The unamortized debt issuance costs on the ILX Inventory Loan and the Tempus Inventory Loan were recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt.
	In addition, on May 9, 2014, the Company terminated the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility in conjunction with its entry into the Senior Credit Facility and recorded the unamortized debt issuance costs as a loss on extinguishment of debt.
	On June 9, 2014, the Company redeemed all of the remaining outstanding principal amount under the Senior Secured Notes using a portion of the proceeds from the term loan portion of the Senior Credit Facility. As a result, $30.2 million of redemption premium, $9.4 million of unamortized debt issuance cost and $6.1 million unamortized debt discount were recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt. See "Note 16—Borrowings" for further detail on these transactions.
	Loss on extinguishment of debt consisted of the following for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

	On October 20, 2014, the March 2014 Swap, the April 2014 Swap, the June 2014 Swap and the September 2014 Swap were terminated. Also on October 20, 2014, as required by the Conduit Facility, the Company entered into the October 2014 Swap with a notional amount of $112.5 million that is scheduled to mature on October 20, 2024, to manage it's exposure to fluctuation interest rates. The Company pays interest at a fixed rate of 2.45% based on a floating notional amount according to a pre-determined amortization schedule and receives interest based on one-month floating LIBOR.
	On October 28, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a share repurchase program allowing for the expenditure of up to $100.0 million for the repurchase of the Company’s common stock. Repurchases will be made from time to time in accordance with applicable securities laws in the open market and/or in privately negotiated transactions, and may include repurchases pursuant to trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act). The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock or to acquire shares on any particular timetable, and the program may be suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion. The timing and amount of share repurchases will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions, the trading price of the stock, applicable legal requirements, compliance with the provisions of the Company’s credit agreement, and other factors.
	The Company has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after September 30, 2014 up to the filing date and did not identify any other subsequent events, the effects of which would require disclosure or adjustment to condensed consolidated balance sheets or condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Principles of Consolidation	'
	Principles of Consolidation—The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all subsidiaries of the Company. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated from the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including those related to revenue, bad debts, unsold Vacation Interests, net, Vacation Interest cost of sales, stock-based compensation and income taxes. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The results of the Company's analyses form the basis for making assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and the impact of such differences may be material to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
Vacation Interest Sales Revenue, Net	'
	Vacation Interest Sales Revenue, Net—Vacation interest sales revenue, net is comprised of Vacation Interest sales, net of a provision for uncollectible Vacation Interest sales revenue. Vacation interest sales consist of revenue from the sale of points, which can be utilized for vacations at any of the resorts in the Company's network for varying lengths of stay, net of an amount equal to the expense associated with certain sales incentives. A variety of sales incentives are routinely provided as sales tools. Sales centers have predetermined budgets for sales incentives and manage the use of incentives accordingly. A provision for uncollectible Vacation Interest sales revenue is recorded upon completion of each financed sale. The provision is calculated based on historical default experience associated with the customer's Fair Isaac Corporation ("FICO") score. Additionally, the Company analyzes its allowance for loan and contract losses quarterly and makes adjustments based on current trends in consumer loan delinquencies and defaults and other criteria, if necessary. Since late 2007, the Company has sold VOIs primarily in the form of points. All of the Company's Vacation Interest sales revenue, net is allocated to the Vacation Interest Sales and Financing business segment.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes most of the current revenue recognition requirements. The core principle of this guidance is that an entity is required to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. New disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers are also required. This guidance is effective for the Company in its interim period ending March 31, 2017. Early application is not permitted. Entities must adopt the new guidance using one of two retrospective application methods. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of its adoption on its financial statements.
	In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40)—Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure ("ASU 2014-04"). ASU 2014-04 clarifies when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan should be derecognized and the real estate recognized. ASU 2014-04 is effective for public business entities for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company adopted ASU 2014-04 as of its interim period ended March 31, 2014. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

	Note 5 — Mortgages and Contracts Receivable and Allowance for Loan and Contract Losses
	The Company provides financing to purchasers of VOIs at North American and St. Maarten sales centers that are collateralized by their VOIs. Eligibility for this financing is determined based on the customers’ FICO credit scores. As of September 30, 2014, the mortgages and contracts receivable bore interest at fixed rates between 0.0% and 18.0%. The terms of the mortgages and contracts receivable range from one year to 15 years (with the majority being 10 years) and such financing may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The weighted average interest rate of outstanding mortgages and contracts receivable was 14.9% and 15.1% as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
	The Company charges off mortgages and contracts receivable upon the earliest of (i) the completion of cancellation or foreclosure proceedings or (ii) the customer's account becoming over 180 days delinquent. Once a customer has made six timely payments, following the event leading to the charge-off, the charge-off is reversed. A default in a customer's initial payment results in a rescission of the sale. All collection and foreclosure costs related to delinquent loans are expensed as incurred. Mortgages and contracts receivable between 90 and 180 days past due as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were 1.9% and 2.5%, respectively, of gross mortgages and contracts receivable.
	Mortgages and contracts receivable originated by the Company are recorded net of deferred loan and contract origination costs, and the related allowance for loan and contract losses. Loan and contract origination costs incurred in connection with providing financing for VOIs are capitalized and amortized over the estimated life of the mortgages or contracts receivable, based on historical prepayments, as a decrease to interest revenue using the effective interest method. Amortization of deferred loan and contract origination costs charged to interest revenue was $2.4 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $6.6 million and $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	The Company recorded a $3.3 million discount on April 27, 2007 on the mortgage pool acquired in connection with the acquisition and merger with Sunterra Corporation, which discount was being amortized over the life of the related acquired mortgage pool. This discount was fully amortized during the three months ended March 31, 2014, and, accordingly, as of September 30, 2014 there was no net unamortized discount on this acquired mortgage pool. As of December 31, 2013, the net unamortized discount on this acquired mortgage pool was $0.2 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, a de minimis amount of amortization was recorded as an increase to interest income, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, amortization of $0.1 million was recorded as an increase to interest income. No amortization was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, $0.2 million of amortization was recorded as an increase to interest income.
	The Company recorded a $0.8 million premium on July 1, 2011, on the purchased mortgage pool that was part of the Tempus Resorts Acquisition, which was being amortized over the life of the related acquired mortgage pool. This premium was fully amortized during the year ended December 31, 2013 as a result of the loans being sold as part of the Tempus 2013 Notes (see "Note 16—Borrowings" for the definition of the Tempus 2013 Notes). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, amortization of $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, were recorded as a decrease to interest revenue.
	The Company recorded a $0.1 million premium on May 21, 2012 on the mortgage pool purchased in the PMR Acquisition, which was being amortized over the life of the related acquired mortgage pool. This premium was fully amortized during the year ended December 31, 2013. No amortization was recorded as a decrease to interest revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
	The Company recorded a $0.6 million premium on July 24, 2013 on the mortgage pool purchased in the Island One Acquisition, which is being amortized over the life of the related acquired mortgage pool. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the net unamortized premium was $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, $0.1 million of amortization was recorded as a decrease to interest revenue, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, $0.2 million was recorded as a decrease to interest revenue. No amortization was recorded as a decrease to interest revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
