Jimmy Buffet's Song 'Margaritaville' Inspires New Retirement Communities

Margaritaville Holdings and Minto Communities have announced a partnership to develop Latitude Margaritaville, new active retirement communities in some of the nation's most popular destinations. The first location of the all-new residential concept will open in Daytona Beach, Florida. The sales center has already broken ground there and is slated to open in the fall.

Latitude Margaritaville will reflect the "no worries," tropical vibe, offering walkable neighborhoods and a town center featuring a fitness center with an aerobics studio, indoor lap pool, spa, and group fitness classes; indoor and outdoor dining with "signature Margaritaville food and beverage concepts"; arts and learning programs for residents and guests; and a resort pool area with beach entry. In true Margaritaville fashion, music will also play an important part in the community, with a band shell for live entertainment in the Town Center. A private beachfront club and beachfront amenities will be set on the Atlantic Ocean, which residents can access via a continuous loop shuttle service.

Margaritaville is a global brand inspired by the lyrics and lifestyle of singer, songwriter and author, Jimmy Buffett, whose songs evoke a passion for tropical escape and relaxation. Its first restaurant location was opened in Key West, Florida in 1987,

Today, Margaritaville features nine destination resorts/hotels across the Southeast U.S. and the Caribbean and eight additional locations in active development; four gaming locations; and more than 60 food and beverage locations including signature concepts.
