Margaritaville Resort Coming To San Diego

Parrotheads throughout the west coast are celebrating the launch of a new Margaritaville Resort, right here in San Diego! Jimmy Buffet's immersive resort experience will be taking over what is currently the Paradise Point Resort & Spa on Vacation Isle.

The 44-acre Paradise Point Resort & Spa will be transformed into the only Margaritaville on the west coast. The first phase of the project will focus on the restaurants and should begin before the end of 2019. Two additional phases will follow with completion/opening expected in 2021.

The conversion will cost an estimated $35 million, and will include 462 casita-style single-story guest rooms, waterfront views along a mile of beachfront, Margaritaville food and beverage concepts, new recreational activities and family-friendly amenities.

Margaritaville is a global lifestyle brand inspired by the lyrics and lifestyle of singer, songwriter and best-selling author Jimmy Buffett, whose songs evoke a passion for tropical escape and relaxation.

Known for hits like "Margaritaville," "Cheeseburger in Paradise," "Come Monday," and "Son of a Son of a Sailor," Buffet has a devote fan base known as Parrotheads, and a business empire called BUFFET WORLD that operates numerous companies, including: resorts; retirement communities; Margaritaville and Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurant chains; alcoholic beverages including tequilas, ready made drink mixes and flavored rums; a footwear line; an ice tea line; an in-home food line; a beer brewed by Anheuser Busch called Landshark Lager; and a horse owner's racing group called Last Mango Racing Stable.

Jimmy Buffet will be turning 73 on December 25, 2019.
