Margaritaville Has All-Inclusive Beach Resorts, Residences, and Island Hideaways in the Caribbean

It starts with a feeling — that moment when the sun hits the turquoise water just right, the steel drums roll in the background and everything seems to move a little slower. That’s the promise of Margaritaville in the Caribbean and beyond. What began as a fun and relaxing state of mind has turned into a growing portfolio of island-inspired resorts designed for travelers who want their vacations easy, breezy and joyfully unpretentious — with some local flavor, too.

The brand has cultivated a collection of casual-luxe properties across The Bahamas, Mexico and Central America, each with its own personality but the same unmistakable energy. You can check in, chill out, order a drink and know exactly what kind of vacation you’re about to have. Some resorts are designed for families, others just for grown-ups, and one pairs its waterfront resort with full-service residences. All of them share a commitment to authentic hospitality, classic fun and a dynamic lineup of amenities, a lighthearted escape from the everyday and an extra shot of local inspiration.

Nassau, The Bahamas: Energy and Escape

On the edge of Nassau’s harbor, Margaritaville Beach Resort Nassau captures the city’s pulse without ever losing the easy pace of the islands. It’s a waterfront retreat with two distinct sides — the main resort and One Particular Harbour Residences. The resort channels a lively, sun-splashed atmosphere with balconies overlooking the harbor, a sparkling pool deck and a water park with a lazy river and surf simulator. The residences next door are designed for longer stays, offering the same views but with kitchens, living spaces and the ability to slip seamlessly between home-style comfort and resort amenities. Here, downtown Nassau feels like it’s part of the resort itself — a rare combination of urban edge and island ease.

The biggest story? The waterpark, which is one of the best in the Caribbean — and a remarkable amenity, particularly if you’re coming with your family.

Riviera Maya, Mexico: Adults-Only Indulgence

Further west, on the coast of Mexico, Margaritaville Island Reserve Resort Riviera Maya takes the island state of mind and gives it a grown-up twist. This adults-only all-inclusive resort was designed for those who want sun and serenity without the crowd. It’s a place where mornings can start with a swim-up breakfast, afternoons can linger over cold beers at LandShark Brewery and Grill and evenings end with gourmet food and warm breezes. The experience feels both elevated and easy, a polished version of the brand’s famous barefoot vibe.

Riviera Cancún, Mexico: Family Time, Island Style

For families, Margaritaville Island Reserve Resort Riviera Cancún is the blueprint. It’s casual and colorful, with low-rise buildings surrounded by lush gardens and paths that seem to wind right to the water’s edge. It’s an all-that works for every kind of traveler — kids splash in the pools, parents linger at the bars and everyone finds their own corner of the resort to unwind. It’s approachable, easy to navigate and built for togetherness without the stress of overplanning.

Playa Flamingo, Costa Rica: A Laid-Back Escape

In Costa Rica, Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo sits on a beach that seems made for long walks and photographic sunsets. The resort brings the same breezy energy south to Central America, blending ocean views with tropical gardens and open-air restaurants. The pace is slow, the surf is close, and the vibe is unmistakably Margaritaville — the kind of place where the hardest decision of the day might be whether to stay by the pool or wander down to the beach.

Roatán, Honduras: The Next Island Reserve Resort

Soon, another flag will fly on the Bay Islands of Honduras. Margaritaville Island Reserve Resort Roatán is set to open as the next step in the brand’s all-inclusive story, bringing the Island Reserve concept to one of the Caribbean’s most unspoiled destinations. It’s a sign of how far the Margaritaville world has expanded — from a single song and a single restaurant to some of the most vibrant beach destinations in the hemisphere. You can find more in our recent feature.

A Growing Island World

Margaritaville’s Caribbean story is about variety within a single mood. Nassau blends resort energy with city life. Riviera Maya caters to adults who want to unwind in style, all-inclusive. Riviera Cancún creates a family playground without pretension. Costa Rica offers a slower, softer escape. And Roatán is on deck, ready to add its own rhythm to the mix. Together, they paint a clear picture of a brand that knows exactly what kind of vacation it delivers — and delivers it well.
