On behalf of everyone (who works, visits, or lives) in Margaritaville, we mourn the loss of Jimmy, a true national treasure, and express our heartfelt condolences to his family and everyone around the world who loves him. Artist, performer, writer, navigator, friend, and entrepreneur - it is hard to imagine anyone who has ever brought so much fun to so many. What Jimmy loved most was getting on a stage - big, small, indoors, outdoors, anywhere in the world - and changing the attitude and latitude of audiences to a vacation state of mind. Jimmy lived his life like his songs: from beaches to boats to bars, sailing, surfing, and flying. He knew how to have fun and cared deeply about bringing everyone else along with him for the ride. When he flashed that signature smile one-on-one or to 100,000, somehow you just felt happy to be in his orbit. His original idea for Margaritaville was to expand the opportunity for as many people to experience the lifestyle immortalized in his iconic song as possible. We celebrate his life, believe his spirit lives on like a never-ending encore, and will see his radiant smile and that twinkle in his eye when we look towards the sun and will continue to share his way of life wherever, whenever we can. Fins Up Forever

"When Jimmy Buffett’s song “Margaritaville” came out in 1977, its message was clear: find paradise and relax. It’s this notion that propelled Buffett, with the help of John Cohlan, to turn Margaritaville into a hospitality powerhouse centered on a laidback lifestyle."

🌊 Making a Difference One Beach at a Time 🌴 We are incredibly proud to share that our dedicated team from Margaritaville Hotel recently spent a day at Fiesta Island, contributing to a cleaner and safer environment for both wildlife and beachgoers. Our beach cleanup initiative was a resounding success, with team members rolling up their sleeves to remove debris and litter from the shoreline. It's amazing to see how collective effort can transform our beautiful beaches, ensuring they remain pristine and safe for all. A huge thank you to everyone who participated and showed such passion and commitment to our community and the environment. This is just one step in our ongoing journey to make a positive impact, and we're excited for more opportunities to give back. Together, we can create a cleaner, safer world for everyone. 🌍💙 Jim Hollister Brandon Walton Victoria Lee Ashley Louie #Sustainability #CommunityService #TeamWork #EnvironmentalAwareness #MargaritavilleHotel #BeachCleanup 📷Kara Brechner

“I’m beyond excited to be named godmother of Margaritaville at Sea Islander and look forward to rendering the right concoction of love and luck so she may plow the seas amidst smooth, untroubled waters in search of that one particular harbor. As a descendent of captains and boat builders, I accept this honor in tribute to the legacy of my seafaring ancestors. Cheers to many a lovely cruise!" - Savannah ⛴ 💙 😎

"If there is anything I learned tonight it is that Jimmy Buffett was a singularly unifying force. The ability to assemble Paul McCartney, Eric Church, Snoop Dogg and Pitbull on the same stage is a large enough feat, let alone calling each of them a friend. Tonight, the cast was diverse and the vibeage was off the charts. Turns out, Margaritaville is a special place." Los Angeles Times
