2. Pool Days Made for Sharing
Water time brings everyone together. Guests staying in the cottages or villas enjoy access to resort pools where floating side by side, splashing with the kids, or relaxing with a drink feel like the perfect way to spend the day.
From March 7 through October 31, complimentary access to Island H2O Water Park adds even more excitement. Big slides, playful rides, and shared laughs turn ordinary afternoons into favorite group memories before heading back to your island retreat to unwind.
Sunshine, smiles, and together moments feel extra sweet here.
3. Meals That Turn Into Moments
Some of the best island memories happen around food, especially when everyone gathers and the pace feels relaxed. At Margaritaville Cottages and Villas, meals bring families, friends, and couples together in memorable ways.
Full kitchens inside every cottage and villa make cooking, snacking, and sharing moments simple and fun. Grocery delivery helps get everything ready before arrival, while welcome packages add a celebratory touch from the start.
Private chef experiences turn evenings into intimate, flavor-filled highlights, while private bartender experiences keep the good spirits flowing with tropical cocktails and island favorites flowing for the whole group to enjoy.
On-site dining adds even more ways to connect. Euphoria sets the scene for lingering dinners, Provisions keeps mornings and afternoons breezy, and Salty Rim Bar & Grill brings poolside classics and refreshing drinks into the mix.
From casual breakfasts to chef-prepared dinners and sunset cocktails, every meal becomes part of the together experience.
4. Music, Moments, and Island Nights
Island living always has a soundtrack here in paradise. Live music sets the mood during the day at Salty Rim Bar & Grill, bringing laid-back energy to sunny poolside moments. As evening arrives, the rhythm carries on inside the Euphoria Lounge, creating the perfect backdrop for cocktails, conversation, and connection.
For groups who love both lively fun and relaxed evenings, the music drifts just close enough to enjoy while retreating back to a private cottage or villa. Some nights turn into dancing. Others settle into laughter and familiar tunes enjoyed together in your own space.
5. Close to Adventure, Close to Each Other
This resort offers a sunny home-away-from-home near Central Florida’s most loved attractions, making it easy for groups to mix adventure with downtime. Theme parks, shopping, and entertainment make day trips easy and fun.

Just steps away, the Promenade at Sunset Walk brings evenings to life with live music, dining, events, and entertainment. A short stroll leads to vibrant nights before returning to the comfort of your island retreat.
6. Celebrations Made for Sharing
Some moments deserve more than a quick toast. Here, celebrations unfold in ways that feel personal, joyful, and full of heart. Family reunions, milestone birthdays, wedding weekends, anniversaries, and friends-together-again escapes all find their rhythm here.
Private cottages and villas give groups the freedom to host celebrations in a space that feels comfortable and familiar. Living rooms turn into laughter-filled gathering spots. Patios and private pools set the scene for sunset toasts, casual dinners, and moments made meaningful by being shared right where everyone is staying.
For events that call for extra planning, the on-site catering and events team steps in to bring every detail together. Custom menus, beverage service, timing, setup, and thoughtful touches all come together seamlessly. Celebrations take shape inside a private cottage or villa, around the resort, or across dedicated event spaces, with support close at hand every step of the way.
The result is being fully present with the people who matter most. Laughter flows, connections grow, and every celebration reflects the relaxed, joyful spirit of island living.
