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.
