Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Background, Business and Basis of Presentation	Note 1 — Background, Business and Basis of Presentation Business and Background Diamond Resorts International, Inc. ("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. Except where the context otherwise requires or where otherwise indicated, references in the condensed consolidated financial statements to "the Company" refer to DRII and its subsidiaries, including DRC. The Company operates in the hospitality and vacation ownership industry, with a worldwide network of 342 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, New Zealand and Africa. The Company’s resort network includes 93 resort properties with approximately 11,000 units that are managed by the Company and 245 affiliated resorts and hotels and four 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 the homeowners associations (the "HOAs") for resort properties and seven multi-resort trusts and one single-resort trust (collectively, the "Diamond Collections"), operations of the Clubs, food and beverage venues owned and managed by the Company and the provision of other hospitality and management services and (ii) Vacation Interests ("VOIs" or "Vacation Interests") sales and financing, which includes marketing and sales of VOIs and consumer financing for purchasers of the Company’s VOIs. Through December 31, 2014, hospitality and management services also included operations of two properties located in St. Maarten for which a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company functioned as the HOA. Effective January 1, 2015, the Company assigned the rights and related obligations associated with assets it previously owned as the HOA for these properties to newly created HOAs. The Company has no beneficial interest in these HOAs, except through its ownership of VOIs, but continues to serve as the manager of these HOAs pursuant to customary management services agreements. As a result of these transactions, the operating results and the assets and liabilities of the St. Maarten properties were deconsolidated from the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements effective January 1, 2015 (with the exception of cash and all employee-related liabilities including the post-retirement benefit plan, which are expected to be deconsolidated during the quarter ending September 30, 2015) (the "St. Maarten Deconsolidation"). Basis of Presentation 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, 2014 (the " 2014 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 2014 Form 10-K. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ending December 31, 2015 or any future period. Certain balances in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2014 have been reclassified for immaterial foreign currency translation adjustments to conform to current year presentation.

Summary of Significant Accounti

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	6 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
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" to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2014 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 Interests cost of sales, stock-based compensation expense and income taxes. These estimates are based on historical experience and 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 Interests Sales, Net —Vacation Interests sales, net is comprised of Vacation Interests sales, net of a provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales, both of which are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 978, “Real Estate-Time-Sharing Activities” ("ASC 978"). Vacation Interests 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 Interests sales 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") credit 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. All of the Company's Vacation Interests sales, net is allocated to the Vacation Interests sales and financing business segment. Vacation Interests sales, net consisted of the following for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Vacation Interests sales $ 171,092 $ 142,848 $ 307,754 $ 260,178 Provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales (20,811 ) (12,843 ) (34,907 ) (24,276 ) Vacation Interests sales, net $ 150,281 $ 130,005 $ 272,847 $ 235,902 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. Entities must adopt the new guidance using one of two retrospective application methods. This guidance was to be effective for the Company for its quarter ending March 31, 2017; however, the FASB recently approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of this guidance, which is now the quarter ending March 31, 2018 for the Company. Early adoption is permitted as of the original effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements. In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, Income Statement-Extraordinary and Unusual Items ("ASU No. 2015-01"), which eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Extraordinary items are events and transactions that are distinguished by their unusual nature and by the infrequency of their occurrence. ASU No. 2015-01 simplifies income statement presentation by altogether removing the concept of extraordinary items from consideration. ASU No. 2015-01 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2015-01 as of its quarter ending March 31, 2016. The Company believes that the adoption of this update will not have a material impact on its financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (“ASU No. 2015-02”), which is intended to respond to stakeholders’ concerns about the current accounting guidance for certain legal entities. The amendments update the analysis of consolidation for limited partnerships, contractual fee arrangements and investment funds, as well as include additional guidance on the effect of related parties. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-02 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-02 may be applied retrospectively or using a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of its adoption on its financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest ("ASU No. 2015-03"), which is intended to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-03 require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in ASU No. 2015-03. ASU No. 2015-03 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2015-03 as of its quarter ending March 31, 2016. The Company believes that the adoption of this update will result in a reclassification between assets and liabilities but will have no other impact on its financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-use Software ("ASU No. 2015-05"), which provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license and, if so, how the software license element of the arrangement should be accounted for by the customer. ASU No. 2015-05 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2015-05 as of its quarter ending March 31, 2016. The Company believes that the adoption of this update will not have a material impact on its 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 and 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, and 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 —Portions of the Company's consumer loan portfolio are concentrated in certain geographic regions within the U.S. As of June 30, 2015 , the Company's loans to California, Arizona and Florida residents constituted 33.1% , 8.7% and 5.7% , 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 the results of operations for its consumer loan portfolio business. 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. On March 20, 2015 , as required by the Company's $200.0 million conduit facility (the "Conduit Facility") that was most recently amended and restated on February 5, 2015 and further amended on June 26, 2015 (the "June 2015 Amendment"), the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $56.9 million (the "March 2015 Swap") that was scheduled to mature on March 20, 2025 , to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company paid interest at a fixed rate of 2.46% based on a floating notional amount according to a pre-determined amortization schedule and received interest based on one-month floating LIBOR. The March 2015 Swap did not qualify for hedge accounting. On July 29, 2015, the March 2015 Swap was terminated upon the payoff of the then-outstanding balance under the Conduit Facility using the proceeds from the issuance of $170.0 million of investment-grade securities, consisting of two tranches of vacation ownership loan-backed notes (collectively, the "DROT 2015-1 Notes"). As of June 30, 2015 , the fair value of the March 2015 Swap was calculated to be $0.1 million based on a valuation report provided by a counterparty. This fair value was recorded as a derivative liability with an offsetting charge to interest expense. On June 26, 2015 , the Company entered into an interest rate cap (the "June 2015 Cap") to further limit its exposure to interest rate increases. The June 2015 Cap was scheduled to terminate on June 20, 2025 and bore an interest rate of 4.64% based on a notional amount of $72.0 million , subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the agreement governing the June 2015 Cap. The June 2015 Cap did not qualify for hedge accounting. The Company paid $0.3 million for the June 2015 Cap, which was recorded as a derivative asset. The June 2015 Cap was terminated on July 1, 2015 concurrent with the further amendment of the Conduit Facility on July 1, 2015 (the "July 2015 Amendment"). See " Note 16 — Borrowings" for further detail on the Conduit Facility. As of June 30, 2015, the fair value of the June 2015 Cap was calculated to be $0.3 million based on a valuation report provided by a counterparty. This fair value was included in prepaid expenses and other assets and the change between the initial amount paid for the June 2015 Cap and the fair value was recorded as interest expense during the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Eligibility for this financing is determined based on the customers’ FICO credit scores. As of June 30, 2015 , the mortgages and contracts receivable bore interest at fixed rates between 6.0% and 18.0% . The terms of the mortgages and contracts receivable range from two years to 15 years and may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The weighted average interest rate of outstanding mortgages and contracts receivable was 14.7% and 14.8% as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , 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 delinquent customer has brought the account current following the event leading to the charge-off and makes six timely payments, the charge-off is reversed. A default in a customer's initial payment (after unsuccessful collection efforts) results in a rescission of the sale. All collection and foreclosure costs related to delinquent loans are expensed as incurred. Mortgages and contracts receivable from 91 to 180 days past due as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were 2.8% and 2.0% , respectively, of gross mortgages and contracts receivable. The mortgages and contracts receivable, net balance includes deferred loan and contract origination costs related to mortgages originated by the Company, net of 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 $3.1 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively, and $6.1 million and $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Transactions with Related Parties	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 Diamond 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 Diamond Collections; and (iii) the recovery of a portion of the Company’s Vacation Interests carrying costs, management and member services, consolidated resort operations, loan portfolio and general and administrative expenses that are incurred on behalf of the HOAs and the Diamond Collections according to a pre-determined schedule approved by the board of directors at each HOA and Diamond 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 Diamond 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 Diamond Collections for VOIs owned by the Company (this liability is recorded on January 1 of each year for the entire amount of annual maintenance and assessment fees, and is relieved throughout the year by payments remitted to the HOAs and the Diamond 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 paid by the Company’s customers or by a Club on behalf of a member where the frequency of the cleans exceeds those covered by the respective maintenance fees; and (iv) 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 Diamond Collections, the Company evaluates amounts due to and from each HOA and Diamond 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 Diamond Collection in accordance with the requirements of ASC 210, "Balance Sheet— Offsetting." Due from related parties, net as of the dates presented below consisted of the following (in thousands): June 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Amounts due from HOAs $ 19,114 $ 29,924 Amounts due from Diamond Collections 19,100 21,283 Amounts due from other 238 444 Total due from related parties, net $ 38,452 $ 51,651 Due to related parties, net as of the dates presented below consisted of the following (in thousands): June 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Amounts due to HOAs $ 44,861 $ 14,788 Amounts due to Diamond Collections 51,048 19,944 Amounts due to other 28 36 Total due to related parties, net $ 95,937 $ 34,768 Hospitality Management and Consulting Service, LLC ("HM&C") Management Services Agreement (the "HM&C Agreement") HM&C was beneficially owned and controlled by Stephen J. Cloobeck, the Company's Chairman of the Board, and David F. Palmer, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, until the consummation of the HM&C Acquisition (as defined and discussed below), effective as of January 1, 2015. Pursuant to the HM&C Agreement, HM&C has provided two categories of management services to the Company: (i) executive and strategic oversight of the services that the Company provides to HOAs and the Diamond Collections through the Company’s hospitality and management services operations, for the benefit of the Company, the HOAs and the Diamond Collections; and (ii) executive, corporate and strategic oversight of the Company’s operations and certain other administrative services. HM&C provides the Company with the services of four of the Company's executive officers and other employees, each of whom devotes his or her full business time and attention to the Company, and prior to 2015 also provided the Company with the services of Mr. Cloobeck. Prior to the HM&C Acquisition, pursuant to the HM&C Agreement, HM&C was entitled to receive (a) a lump sum annual management fee for providing HOA management services; (b) a lump sum annual management fee for providing corporate management services; (c) a lump sum annual incentive payment based on performance metrics determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company's board of directors, subject to certain minimum amounts set forth in the HM&C Agreement; and (d) reimbursement of HM&C's expenses incurred in connection with its activities under the HM&C Agreement. HM&C Acquisition On January 6, 2015, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), whereby it acquired from an entity controlled by Mr. Cloobeck and an entity controlled by Mr. Palmer (which entities owned 95% and 5% of the outstanding membership interests of HM&C, respectively) all of the outstanding membership interests in HM&C in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000 (the "HM&C Acquisition"). As a result of the HM&C Acquisition, effective January 1, 2015, transactions between the Company and HM&C were fully eliminated from the Company's consolidated balance sheet, as HM&C became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Master Agreement Concurrent with the Company's entry into the Purchase Agreement, on January 6, 2015, the Company entered into a Master Agreement (the "Master Agreement") with Mr. Cloobeck, HM&C, JHJM Nevada I, LLC ("JHJM") and other entities controlled by Mr. Cloobeck or his immediate family members. Pursuant to the Master Agreement, the parties made certain covenants to and agreements with the other parties, including: (i) the termination, effective as of January 1, 2015, of the services agreement between JHJM and HM&C (the "JHJM Agreement"); (ii) the conveyance to the Company of exclusive rights to market timeshare and vacation ownership properties from a prime location adjacent to Polo Towers on the “Las Vegas Strip,” pursuant to the terms of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement; (iii) Mr. Cloobeck’s agreement to various restrictive covenants, including non-competition, non-solicitation and non-interference covenants; and (iv) Mr. Cloobeck’s grant to the Company of a license to use Mr. Cloobeck’s persona, including his name, likeness and voice. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Master Agreement, the Company paid Mr. Cloobeck or his designees $16.5 million and incurred $0.3 million in expenses related to this transaction. Of these amounts, $7.8 million was recorded as general and administrative expense in connection with the JHJM Agreement and $9.0 million was capitalized as marketing easement rights and other intangible assets. See "Note 12 — Other Intangible Assets, Net " for further detail on the intangible assets acquired. In addition, in light of the termination of the services agreement between JHJM and HM&C and the existence of a director designation agreement dated July 17, 2013, the Company agreed in the Master Agreement that, at least through December 31, 2017, so long as Mr. Cloobeck is serving as a member of the board of directors of the Company, he will continue to be the Chairman of the Board and, in such capacity, will receive annual compensation equal to two times the compensation generally paid to other non-employee directors, and he, his spouse and children will receive medical insurance coverage. Guggenheim Relationship Pursuant to an agreement with the Company, DRP Holdco, LLC (the "Guggenheim Investor"), a significant investor in the Company, had the right to nominate two members to the Company's board of directors, subject to certain security ownership thresholds. Zachary Warren, a principal of Guggenheim Partners, LLC ("Guggenheim"), an affiliate of the Guggenheim Investor, serves as a member of the Company's board directors as one of the two nominees of the Guggenheim Investor. The other nominee, B. Scott Minerd, also a principal of Guggenheim, served as a member of the Company's board of directors until his resignation effective July 28, 2015. Mr. Minerd's resignation did not involve a disagreement on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies, or practices. Affiliates of Guggenheim are currently lenders under the Conduit Facility, the $470.0 million senior secured credit facility entered into on May 9, 2014 (the "Senior Credit Facility") and the $64.5 million securitization transaction completed on April 27, 2011 (the "DROT 2011 Notes"). In addition, an affiliate of Guggenheim was an investor in the Company's Senior Secured Notes that were redeemed on June 9, 2014. See " Note 16 — Borrowings" elsewhere in this quarterly report and " Note 16 — Borrowings" to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2014 Form 10-K for further detail on these borrowings. The March 2015 Secondary Offering On March 10, 2015, Cloobeck Diamond Parent, LLC (an entity beneficially owned and controlled by Mr. Cloobeck), the Guggenheim Investor and Best Amigos Partners, LLC (an entity beneficially owned and controlled by Lowell D. Kraff, the Vice Chairman of the board of directors of the Company) (collectively, the "Selling Stockholders") consummated the sale of an aggregate of 6,700,000 shares of common stock of the Company in an underwritten public offering. On March 20, 2015, the Selling Stockholders sold an additional aggregate of 802,316 shares of the Company's common stock to the underwriter pursuant to the underwriting agreement in connection with the underwriter's exercise of its over-allotment option. These transactions are collectively referred to as the "March 2015 Secondary Offering." The Company did not sell any stock in the March 2015 Secondary Offering and did not receive any proceeds from the offering. The Company purchased from the underwriter 1,515,582 shares sold by the Selling Stockholders in the March 2015 Secondary Offering at $32.99 per share (the same price per share at which the underwriter purchased shares from the Selling Stockholders) for a total purchase price of approximately $50.0 million . The Company incurred approximately $1.0 million in expenses related to the March 2015 Secondary Offering, including registration, filing and listing fees, printing fees and legal and accounting expenses, which are included in general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Aircraft Lease In January 2012, the Company entered into an aircraft lease agreement with N702DR, LLC, a limited liability company of which Mr. Cloobeck is a beneficial owner and a controlling party. Pursuant to this lease agreement, the Company leases an aircraft from N702DR, LLC and paid N702DR, LLC $0.6 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , respectively, and $0.6 million and $1.2 million for the three and the six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively.

Eligibility for this financing is determined based on the customers’ FICO credit scores. As of June 30, 2015 , the mortgages and contracts receivable bore interest at fixed rates between 6.0% and 18.0% . The terms of the mortgages and contracts receivable range from two years to 15 years and may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The weighted average interest rate of outstanding mortgages and contracts receivable was 14.7% and 14.8% as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , 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 delinquent customer has brought the account current following the event leading to the charge-off and makes six timely payments, the charge-off is reversed. A default in a customer's initial payment (after unsuccessful collection efforts) results in a rescission of the sale. All collection and foreclosure costs related to delinquent loans are expensed as incurred. Mortgages and contracts receivable from 91 to 180 days past due as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were 2.8% and 2.0% , respectively, of gross mortgages and contracts receivable. The mortgages and contracts receivable, net balance includes deferred loan and contract origination costs related to mortgages originated by the Company, net of 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 $3.1 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively, and $6.1 million and $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively.

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. As required by ASC 350-20, "Intangibles—Goodwill," the Company does not amortize goodwill, but rather evaluates goodwill by reporting unit 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 is below the carrying amount. The Company performed its annual evaluation of potential impairment of goodwill as required in the ordinary course of business during the fourth quarter of 2014. The Company assessed various qualitative factors and determined that the fair values of its reporting units were not below their respective carrying values. As such, the Company concluded that the first and second steps of the goodwill impairment tests were unnecessary. Effectively January 1, 2015, the Company completed the HM&C Acquisition and recorded $10,000 of goodwill. See " Note 6—Transactions with Related Parties" for the definition of and further detail on the HM&C Acquisition. The balances at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 represent the goodwill recorded in connection with the Island One Acquisition completed on July 24, 2013 and were allocated to the hospitality and management services and Vacation Interests sales and financing reporting units in the amounts of $30.2 million and $0.4 million , respectively.

Intangible assets purchased under the Master Agreement consisted of the following (dollars in thousands): Weighted Average Useful Life in Years Based on Appraisal Marketing easement rights 20 $ 8,717 Other intangibles 3 266 $ 8,983 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 $3.4 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively, and $6.9 million and $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Amortization expense for member relationships, the Clubs, distributor relationships, marketing easement rights and other is recorded over the period of time that the relationships are expected to produce cash flows. Amortization expense for member relationships, the Clubs, distributor relationships, marketing easement rights and other intangibles was $1.1 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively, and $2.4 million and $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The Clubs and marketing easement rights have estimated useful lives of 20 years. 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" to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2014 Form 10-K for further detail on the Company's policy related to impairment testing of the Company's intangible assets. As of June 30, 2015 , the estimated aggregate amortization expense for intangible assets was expected to be $15.2 million , $14.2 million , $13.4 million , $13.3 million and $13.3 million for the successive 12 month periods ending June 30, 2016 through 2020, respectively, and $108.9 million for the remaining lives of these intangible assets.

Assets Held for Sale [Abstract]
Assets Held for Sale	Note 13 — Assets Held for Sale Assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or their estimated fair value less cost to sell and are not subject to depreciation. Sale of the assets classified as such is probable, and transfer of the assets is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale, generally within one year of the applicable balance sheet date. Assets held for sale as of the dates presented below consisted of the following (in thousands): June 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Certain units in Cabo, Mexico $ 154 $ 5,855 Vacant land in Orlando, Florida — 4,000 Vacant land in Kona, Hawaii — 3,600 Points equivalent of unsold units and resorts in Europe 1,232 997 Total assets held for sale $ 1,386 $ 14,452 The points equivalent of unsold units and resorts in the Company's European operations as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were either held for sale or pending the consummation of sale. The proceeds related to assets pending the consummation of sale will be paid over several years and the Company will retain title to the properties until the full amounts due under the sales contracts are received. According to guidance included in ASC 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment" ("ASC 360"), the sales will not be considered consummated until all consideration has been exchanged. Consequently, the assets pending consummation of sale will continue to be included in assets held for sale until all proceeds are received. As of June 30, 2015 , a vast majority of the completed units in Cabo, Mexico and vacant land in Orlando, Florida and Kona, Hawaii no longer qualified as assets held for sale and were reclassified to unsold Vacation Interests, net at the same values.

Deferred Revenue Disclosure [Abstract]
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 Interests carrying cost in accordance with ASC 978 (with the exception of the Company’s European sampler product and a U.S. term points product, which have a duration of three years and, as such, are treated as Vacation Interests sales). Club deferred revenue —annual club membership fees 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. These advance payments are recorded as deferred revenue when they are received and recognized as revenue during the period that they are earned. Deferred maintenance and reserve fee revenue —maintenance fees billed prior to and due January first of each year and earned ratably over the year for the two resorts in St. Maarten where the Company functioned as the HOA through December 31, 2014. In addition, the owners were 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 were deferred until the refurbishment activity occurred, at which time the amounts collected were recognized as consolidated resort operations revenue, with an equal amount recognized as consolidated resort operations expense. Deferred revenue for maintenance and reserve fees decreased by $7.6 million from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015 due to the St. Maarten Deconsolidation. See " Note 1—Background, Business and Basis of Presentation" for further detail on this transaction . Deferred amenity fee revenue —amounts received from owners at one of the Company's resorts for use of various amenities at that resort. These advance payments are recorded as deferred revenue when they are received and amortized ratably over a one-year period. Deferred revenues as of the dates presented below consisted of the following (in thousands): June 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Deferred Sampler Packages revenue $ 60,332 $ 64,403 Club deferred revenue 20,736 40,044 Accrued guest deposits 7,275 6,482 Deferred maintenance and reserve fee revenue — 7,552 Deferred amenity fee revenue 1,252 63 Other 4,138 6,453 Total deferred revenues $ 93,733 $ 124,997

Borrowings

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Borrowings	Note 16 — Borrowings Conduit Facility On February 5, 2015, the Company entered into an amended and restated Conduit Facility agreement that extended the maturity date of the facility to April 10, 2017. That amended and restated Conduit Facility provides for a $200.0 million facility that is, upon maturity, renewable for 364-day periods at the election of the lenders. The overall advance rate on loans receivable in the portfolio is limited to 88% of the aggregate face value of the eligible loans. The Conduit Facility originally bore interest at LIBOR or the commercial paper rate (having a floor of 0.50% ) plus a usage-fee rate of 2.75% , and had a non-usage fee of 0.75% . In connection with the June 2015 Amendment, the usage-fee rate was reduced to 2.25% . The June 2015 Amendment also provides, among other things, (i) that, at any time the outstanding note balance has been reduced to zero in connection with the delivery of a prepayment notice, the first borrowing thereafter must include a minimum of 250 timeshare loans, and (ii) for the inclusion of timeshare loans that have been executed through the utilization of electronic signature and electronic vaulting and management services. In accordance with the requirements of the July 2015 Amendment, the Company posted a reserve payment in the amount of $0.4 million against the derivative instruments associated with the Conduit Facility. This reserve payment was to be released upon the completion of a securitization or other financing of the assets in which at least 75% of the outstanding balance under the Conduit Facility was repaid using the proceeds from such securitization or other financing. On July 29, 2015, the Company completed a securitization transaction involving the issuance of the DROT 2015-1 Notes. The proceeds from the DROT 2015-1 Notes were used to repay in full the then-outstanding balance plus accrued interest under the Conduit Facility with the remaining proceeds transferred to the Company for general corporate use, and the reserve payment was released and refunded to the Company. See “Note 27 — Subsequent Events” for further detail on the DROT 2015-1 Notes. Quorum Facility The Company has been notified that, pursuant to recent directives from the National Credit Union Association, the Loan Sale and Servicing Agreement with Quorum Federal Credit Union dated as of April 30, 2010 requires modification to effect certain procedural changes related to the funding process, including, but not limited to, satisfaction of certain pre-funding conditions of notification of intent to sell vacation ownership-backed loans to the lender. The Company is currently working with the lender to revise the procedures, as well as discussing other potential changes to the Quorum Facility. Notes Payable During the six months ended June 2015, the Company issued two unsecured notes to finance premiums on certain insurance policies. Both unsecured notes are scheduled to mature in January 2016 and carry an interest rate of 2.7% per annum. See " Note 16 — Borrowings" to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2014 Form 10-K for further detail on the Company's 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 June 30, 2015 . Liquidity Historically, the Company has depended on the availability of credit to finance the consumer loans that it provides to its customers for the purchase of their VOIs. Typically, these loans require a minimum cash down payment of 10% of the purchase price at the time of sale. However, selling, marketing and administrative expenses attributable to VOI sales are primarily cash expenses and often exceed the buyer's minimum down payment requirement. Accordingly, the availability of financing facilities for the sale or pledge of these receivables to generate liquidity is a critical factor in the Company's ability to meet its short-term and long-term cash needs. The Company has historically relied upon its ability to sell receivables in the securitization market in order to generate liquidity and create capacity on its Funding Facilities.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	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 near active sales centers. The longest of these obligations extends into 2019. Many of these agreements have renewal options at rates that are subject to adjustment 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 guarantee in favor of Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC. Pursuant to this guarantee, 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 June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively, and $0.6 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The Company did not compensate Mr. Cloobeck for providing these guarantees; however, pursuant to the Master Agreement described above, the Company agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Mr. Cloobeck and each of his affiliates from any and all amounts that Mr. Cloobeck is required to pay under the guarantee in favor of Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC. In exchange, Mr. Cloobeck agreed to comply with all the covenants and agreements set forth in the guarantee for so long as Mr. Cloobeck or any of his affiliates is subject to the guarantee. 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 primarily related to construction of units at the Cabo Azul Resort in Mexico, as well as relating to sales center remodeling, property amenity improvement and corporate office expansion projects. The total remaining commitment was $13.1 million as of June 30, 2015 . 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 caused significant damage to unsold Vacation Interests and property and equipment owned by the Company; however, management believes the Company has sufficient property insurance to cover damage caused by Hurricane Odile on these assets. See " Note 9—Unsold Vacation Interests, Net " for further detail on Hurricane Odile. In addition, the Company has filed a claim against its business interruption insurance policy for business profits lost during the period that the Cabo Azul Resort remains closed. Proceeds received from this claim will be recognized as other revenue in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as cash is received. On July 23, 2015, the Company received a $3.0 million first installment from its insurance carrier related to such claim. See " Note 27—Subsequent Events " for further detail on this installment. The total claim remains under negotiation with the insurance carrier and any further payments will also be recorded in the periods in which they are received.

Fair Value Measurements

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 June 30, 2015 , 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 2015 Swap and the June 2015 Cap. As of June 30, 2015 , the fair values of the derivative instruments were 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 valuations were not directly observable and could not 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 the derivative instruments. As of December 31, 2014 , the Company had no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The following table summarizes the information regarding the Company's derivative instruments as of the dates presented below (in thousands): As of June 30, 2015 As of December 31, 2014 Carrying Value Total Estimated Fair Value Carrying Value Total Estimated Fair Value Assets: Interest rate cap agreement (a) $ 292 $ 292 $ — $ — Total Assets $ 292 $ 292 $ — $ — Liabilities: Interest rate swap agreement (a) $ 81 $ 81 $ — $ — Total Liabilities $ 81 $ 81 $ — $ — (a) Values associated with the June 2015 Cap are included in the prepaid expenses and other assets, net category of the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. Values associated with the March 2015 Swap are presented under the derivative liability category of the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , mortgages and contracts receivable had a balance of $535.3 million and $498.7 million , net of allowance, respectively. 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 credit 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 June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 . These financial assets were classified as Level 3, as there is little market data available. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility were classified as Level 2 and 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 June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the Company’s DROT 2011 Notes, DROT 2013-1 Notes, DROT 2013-2 Notes and DROT 2014-1 Notes were classified as Level 2. The fair value of these borrowings 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 the market for similar instruments remained stable since September 2013, the issuance date of the Tempus 2013 Notes. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the Quorum Facility and a loan sale agreement that the Company assumed in connection with the Island One Acquisition (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 June 30, 2015 and December 31, 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. 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 June 30, 2015 were as follows (in thousands): Carrying Value Total Estimated Fair Value Estimated Fair Value (Level 2) Estimated Fair Value (Level 3) Assets: Mortgages and contracts receivable, net $ 535,345 $ 535,345 $ — $ 535,345 Total assets $ 535,345 $ 535,345 $ — $ 535,345 Liabilities: Senior Credit Facility, net $ 422,758 $ 422,758 $ 422,758 $ — Securitization notes and Funding Facilities, net 536,450 536,304 536,304 — Notes payable 6,255 6,255 6,255 — Total liabilities $ 965,463 $ 965,317 $ 965,317 $ — The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of December 31, 2014 were as follows (in thousands): Carrying Value Total Estimated Fair Value Estimated Fair Value (Level 2) Estimated Fair Value (Level 3) Assets: Mortgages and contracts receivable, net $ 498,662 $ 498,662 $ — $ 498,662 Total assets $ 498,662 $ 498,662 $ — $ 498,662 Liabilities: Senior Credit Facility, net $ 440,720 $ 440,720 $ 440,720 $ — Securitization notes and Funding Facilities, net 509,208 512,706 512,706 — Notes payable 4,612 4,612 4,612 — Total liabilities $ 954,540 $ 958,038 $ 958,038 $ —

The Equity Incentive Plan had previously been approved by the Company’s board of directors, subject to stockholder approval. The Equity Incentive Plan is a broad-base plan under which 8,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are authorized for issuance for awards to officers, employees, consultants, advisors and directors of the Company, including pursuant to awards of restricted stock, RSUs, stock options, deferred stock or stock appreciation rights. As of June 30, 2015 , 7,178,074 shares remained available for issuance as new awards under the 2015 Plan. There will be no further equity grants under the Company's previous incentive compensation plan. Stock Options On July 18, 2013, the Company granted to the former holders of Diamond Resorts Parent, LLC (DRII's predecessor) 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, Palmer, Bentley, Lanznar and two employees of the Company. Through December 31, 2014, Messrs. Cloobeck, Palmer, Bentley and Lanznar were not employed or compensated directly by the Company, but were rather employed or independently contracted and compensated by HM&C. See "Note 6—Transactions with Related Parties" for further detail on the HM&C Agreement. In addition, between July 18, 2013 and March 31, 2015, the Company issued additional non-qualified stock options, exercisable for an aggregate of 4,408,100 shares of common stock, to Eligible Persons (including employees of HM&C), each at an option price equal to the market price on the applicable grant date. 25% of the shares issuable upon the exercise of such non-qualified stock options vested immediately on the grant date and the remaining 75% vest in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. All of these options expire ten years from the grant date. On May 19, 2015, the Company issued additional non-qualified stock options, exercisable for an aggregate of 1,067,000 shares of common stock, to Eligible Persons, each at an option price equal to the market price on the applicable grant date. 25% of the shares issuable upon the exercise of such non-qualified stock options vest in equal installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date. 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 expected term during which the employees (including, from an accounting perspective, non-employee directors in their capacity as such) of the Company provide service in exchange for the award. Through December 31, 2014 and prior to the Company's acquisition of HM&C in January 2015, the Company accounted for its stock-based compensation issued to employees and independent contractors of HM&C in accordance with ASC 505-50, "Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees" ("ASC 505"). In addition, the stock-based compensation issued to Mr. Kraff in connection with the Company's initial public offering of common stock (the "IPO") has been accounted for in accordance with ASC 505. Employees and independent contractors of HM&C through December 31, 2014 and Mr. Kraff (with respect to the stock-based compensation issued to him in connection with the IPO) are collectively referred to as the "Non-Employees," and the stock-based compensation issued to the Non-Employees are collectively referred to as the "Non-Employee Grants." Pursuant to ASC 505, the fair value of an equity instrument issued to Non-Employees is initially measured on the grant date by using the stock price and other measurement assumptions and subsequently re-measured at each balance sheet date as (and to the extent) the relevant performance is completed. With respect to the stock-based compensation issued to Mr. Kraff in connection with the IPO, his performance of services was considered completed at the grant date. Effective January 1, 2015, the Company acquired all of the outstanding membership interests in HM&C, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As employees of HM&C became employees of the Company following the HM&C Acquisition, all unvested stock options issued to employees of HM&C were converted to employee grants from an accounting perspective on January 1, 2015. As a result of the HM&C Acquisition, compensation cost attributable to unvested options issued to employees of HM&C was remeasured as if the unvested options were newly granted on January 1, 2015, and the portion of the newly measured cost attributable to the remaining vesting period will be recognized as compensation cost prospectively from January 1, 2015. The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of the stock options granted to its employees (including, from an accounting perspective, non-employee directors in their capacity as such) and Non-Employees. 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 the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "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 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 and ASC 505, consisted of the following for the following periods: Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 Company Employees Non-Employees Company Employees Weighted average fair value per share $ 10.0 $ 13.6 $ 8.0 Expected stock price volatility 44.9 % 52.7 % 52.8 % Expected option life (in years) 5.86 6.00 6.00 Risk-free interest rate 1.71 % 1.71 % 1.71 % Expected annual dividend yield — % — % — % Stock option activity related to stock option grants issued to the employees of the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was as follows: Company Employees Options (In thousands) Weighted-Average Exercise Price Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (In thousands) Outstanding at January 1, 2015 7,868 $ 15.02 8.8 $ 101,336 Granted 1,067 32.69 Exercised (138 ) — Forfeited — — Outstanding at June 30, 2015 8,797 $ 17.15 8.4 $ 126,699 Exercisable at June 30, 2015 5,568 $ 15.00 8.1 $ 92,170 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 June 30, 2015 . The intrinsic value of a stock option 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. The following table summarizes the Company’s unvested stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2015 : Company Employees Options (In thousands) Weighted-Average Exercise Price (Per Share) Unvested at January 1, 2015 2,536 $ 16.37 Granted 1,067 32.69 Vested (374 ) 18.63 Forfeited or expired — — Unvested at June 30, 2015 3,229 $ 21.48 Restricted Stock, RSUs and Deferred Stock Between July 18, 2013 and March 31, 2015, the Company issued restricted stock to certain non-employee members of the board of directors of the Company, which vest equally on each of the first three anniversary dates from the grant date. On May 19, 2015, the Company issued restricted stock to certain employees of the Company (which vest equally on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date) and non-employee members of the board of directors of the Company (which vest equally on each of the first 12 quarterly anniversaries of the grant date). In addition, on May 19, 2015, the Company issued RSUs to certain employees of the Company (which conditionally vest equally on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date and fully vest on the fourth anniversary date of the grant date when certain conditions are met) and to certain non-employee members of the board of directors of the Company who elected to receive RSUs in lieu of restricted stock for services rendered (which vest equally on each of the first 12 quarterly anniversaries of the grant date). Furthermore, on May 19, 2015, the Company issued deferred stock to certain non-employee members of the board of directors of the Company who elected to receive deferred stock in lieu of cash for services rendered. The deferred stock vested immediately on the grant date. All restricted stock, RSUs and deferred stock issued on May 19, 2015 (the "Stock Unit Issuances") were valued at $32.69 per share (the closing stock price of the Company's common stock on such date). The aggregate value of the awards was recorded as common stock and additional paid-in capital in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, with a corresponding increase to prepaid expense and other assets, and subsequently charged to expense ratably over the respective amortization periods of the Stock Unit Issuances.

Net income (loss) per share [Abstract]
Net Income (Loss) per Share	Note 23 — Net Income (Loss) Per Share The Company calculates net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share." Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (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 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 the three months ended June 30, 2014, potentially dilutive stock options and restricted stock excluded from the net income per share computation were 733,390 and 13,619 , respectively, as their effect would be antidilutive due to the net loss reported by the Company. There were no anti-dilutive securities for the other periods presented herein. The table below sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the periods presented below (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Computation of Basic Net Income (Loss) Per Share: Net income (loss) $ 36,870 $ (2,731 ) $ 62,845 $ 11,279 Weighted average shares outstanding 73,052 75,456 73,769 75,443 Basic net income (loss) per share $ 0.50 $ (0.04 ) $ 0.85 $ 0.15 Computation of Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share: Net income (loss) $ 36,870 $ (2,731 ) $ 62,845 $ 11,279 Weighted average shares outstanding 73,052 75,456 73,769 75,443 Effect of dilutive securities: Restricted stock, RSUs and deferred stock (a) 32 — 28 12 Options to purchase common stock 2,675 — 2,633 613 Shares for diluted net income (loss) per share 75,759 75,456 76,430 76,068 Diluted net income (loss) per share $ 0.49 $ (0.04 ) $ 0.82 $ 0.15 (a) Includes unvested dilutive restricted stock, RSUs and deferred stock that are subject to future forfeitures.

Post-retirement Benefit Plan

Post-retirement Benefit Plan	6 Months Ended

Post-retirement Benefit Plan [Abstract]
Post-retirement Benefit Plan	Note 24 — Post-retirement Benefit Plan In 1999, the Company entered into a collective labor agreement with the employees at its resorts in St. Maarten (the "Collective Labor Agreement"), where the Company functioned as the HOA through December 31, 2014. 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 $2.7 million as of June 30, 2015 ; (ii) service costs, interest costs and amortized prior service costs of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 ; and (iii) other comprehensive loss of $1.6 million for the accumulated benefit obligation of the Defined Benefit Plan related to the years prior to January 1, 2012. During each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , benefits totaling $0.3 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): Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Projected obligations at the beginning of the period $ 2,871 $ 2,825 Service costs 42 83 Interest costs 22 44 Losses — — Benefits paid (266 ) (283 ) Projected obligations at June 30, 2015 $ 2,669 $ 2,669 At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the Company had no plan assets.

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting	6 Months Ended

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting	Note 25 — 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 Diamond Collections, operation of the Clubs, operations of the properties located in St. Maarten for which the Company functioned as the HOA through December 31, 2014, food and beverage venues owned and managed by the Company and the provision of other services and (ii) Vacation Interests 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 recovered from the HOAs and the Diamond 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.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Note 27 — Subsequent Events On July 23, 2015, the Company received a $3.0 million first installment from its insurance carrier under its business interruption insurance policy related to business profits lost during the period that the Cabo Azul Resort remains closed as a result of the damage suffered in Hurricane Odile in September 2014. This cash receipt will be recorded as other revenue in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations for the quarter ending September 30, 2015. On July 28, 2015, the Company's board of directors authorized the expenditure of up to an additional $100 million for the repurchase of the Company's common stock under the Stock Repurchase Program. With the new authorization, approximately $109.8 million was available as of July 28, 2015 under the Stock Repurchase Program. Any repurchases under the expanded program 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 Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The expanded repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any additional shares of common stock or impose any particular timetable for repurchases, and the program may be suspended or modified at any time at the Company’s discretion. The timing and amount of any stock repurchases will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions, the trading price of the stock, potential alternative uses of cash resources, applicable legal requirements, compliance with the provisions of the Company’s credit agreement, and other factors. The Senior Credit Facility limits the Company's ability to make restricted payments, including the payment of dividends or expenditures for stock repurchases. As of July 28, 2015, the available basket for restricted payments, including purchases under our Stock Repurchase Program, was approximately $89.3 million , subject to change based on the Company's future financial performance. On July 28, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement for the Purchase and Sale of Property (the “Agreement”) with Hawaii Funding LLC (the “Seller”), an affiliate of Och-Ziff Real Estate. The Agreement relates to the development by the Seller of a new resort, which is expected to consist of 144 units (the "Units"), on property located in Kona, Hawaii to be acquired by the Seller. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company has agreed to purchase all of the Units, subject to the satisfaction of specified conditions. The Seller’s delivery of the Units to the Company, which is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2017 and continue through mid-2018, is subject to various conditions precedent and rights of the parties. Effective July 28, 2015, B. Scott Minerd resigned as a member of the Company's board of directors. Mr. Minerd's resignation did not involve a disagreement on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies, or practices. On July 29, 2015, the Company completed a securitization transaction involving the issuance of $170.0 million of investment-grade securities, consisting of two tranches of vacation ownership loan-backed notes. The interest rates for the $158.5 million Class A tranche notes and the $11.5 million Class B tranche notes are 2.7% and 3.2% , respectively. The overall weighted average interest rate is 2.8% . The advance rate for this transaction is 96.0% . The proceeds from the DROT 2015-1 Notes were used to repay all of the outstanding balance plus accrued interest under the Conduit Facility, as well as to pay debt issuance cost related to the DROT 2015-1 Notes with the remaining proceeds transferred to the Company for general corporate use.

Summary of Significant Accoun36

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2015
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 Interests cost of sales, stock-based compensation expense and income taxes. These estimates are based on historical experience and 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 Interests Sales, Net —Vacation Interests sales, net is comprised of Vacation Interests sales, net of a provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales, both of which are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 978, “Real Estate-Time-Sharing Activities” ("ASC 978"). Vacation Interests 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 Interests sales 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") credit 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. All of the Company's Vacation Interests sales, net is allocated to the Vacation Interests 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. Entities must adopt the new guidance using one of two retrospective application methods. This guidance was to be effective for the Company for its quarter ending March 31, 2017; however, the FASB recently approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of this guidance, which is now the quarter ending March 31, 2018 for the Company. Early adoption is permitted as of the original effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements. In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, Income Statement-Extraordinary and Unusual Items ("ASU No. 2015-01"), which eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Extraordinary items are events and transactions that are distinguished by their unusual nature and by the infrequency of their occurrence. ASU No. 2015-01 simplifies income statement presentation by altogether removing the concept of extraordinary items from consideration. ASU No. 2015-01 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2015-01 as of its quarter ending March 31, 2016. The Company believes that the adoption of this update will not have a material impact on its financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (“ASU No. 2015-02”), which is intended to respond to stakeholders’ concerns about the current accounting guidance for certain legal entities. The amendments update the analysis of consolidation for limited partnerships, contractual fee arrangements and investment funds, as well as include additional guidance on the effect of related parties. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-02 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-02 may be applied retrospectively or using a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of its adoption on its financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest ("ASU No. 2015-03"), which is intended to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-03 require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in ASU No. 2015-03. ASU No. 2015-03 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2015-03 as of its quarter ending March 31, 2016. The Company believes that the adoption of this update will result in a reclassification between assets and liabilities but will have no other impact on its financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-use Software ("ASU No. 2015-05"), which provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license and, if so, how the software license element of the arrangement should be accounted for by the customer. ASU No. 2015-05 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2015-05 as of its quarter ending March 31, 2016. The Company believes that the adoption of this update will not have a material impact on its financial statements.
