8 Ways to Soak Up Spring Break Fun at Margaritaville Cottages

March 1, 2025

Wake up to the gentle rustle of palm fronds as the sunlight dances across your balcony. The air carries the crisp scent of spring while the warmth of the breeze invites you outside. Here, each day begins with the laughter of friends, the sparkle of the lagoon pools catching the morning sun, and the promise of island adventures.

1. Morning Rituals

Your feet pad across the cool tile of your cottage or villa where every corner feels like a seaside escape. You stand at the stove, the sizzle of breakfast filling the air as you plan your day. The week’s groceries are delivered to your front door, leaving more time for spring break fun. The balcony doors open wide to let in the vibrant daylight and the view of a landscape that seems painted just for you.

2. Poolside Paradise

You’ve settled into one of the resort cottages with patio doors that slide open to rejuvenating outdoor pools. When the mood calls for exploration, the path opens to Fins Up Beach Club, the sound of water guiding your steps. A high-octane game of beach volleyball in Orlando heat builds up the instinct to cannonball in sparkling water, with weekly games keeping the poolside excitement going. Dipping your toes into the cool waters of the License to Chill Pool, you feel the day’s stresses melt away. From here, you watch others bask under the sun or retreat to the shade of cabanas as poolside service brings over nourishing cheeseburgers and umbrella drinks. As the recharge continues, your surrey bike waits, ready for a leisurely ride through the tropical paradise.

3. Tunes of Paradise

During the bright sunshine of the afternoon, the melody of guitars strums through the air at Salty Rim, where you dine with the palm trees swaying above, their leaves rustling in time with the music. Later, at Euphoria Lounge, the night comes alive with the clink of glasses and the rhythm of live beats, each note seeming to make your margarita taste richer.

5. Nightlife at The Promenade

As the sun dips below the horizon, the stars take over, lighting up The Promenade at Sunset Walk. The air fills with the melodies of classic and modern ballads at Sunset Live! (opens in a new tab), where you can’t help but dance at the Promenade Stage. Artisan markets (opens in a new tab) on Thursdays and Saturdays catch your eye, each piece of local art begging to join your souvenir collection. Saturday nights transform into a spectacle for car lovers; the streets shine under the lights, showcasing classics and cars that seem to have leaped from the pages of your favorite stories. On March 20th, The Wharf (opens in a new tab) pulses with the energy of Completely Unchained, the Van Halen tribute band (opens in a new tab), where each bite of seafood seems to dance to the rhythm of rock legends.
