With beach-themed rooms, island-inspired cocktails, and refreshing water park fun, you’ll find yourself enjoying everything on island time.

Margaritaville Resort Orlando is located in Kissimmee, just minutes from Central Florida’s major theme parks and attractions, making it an easy-breezy home base for your getaway. The resort offers convenient shuttle service to the transportation center for the major theme parks, including Walt Disney World® Resort, Universal Orlando Resort, and SeaWorld® Orlando.

STAY: Guest Rooms & Cottages

As soon as you step onto the Margaritaville Resort Orlando property, you’ll be swept up in the beachy yet modern vibe that the Margaritaville Resorts are known for. In the lobby alone, you’ll find cushy beach swings, thriving coconut trees, and island-style paintings made by local artists.

That luxurious island atmosphere continues into each of the 186 guest rooms at the resort. From the beach-inspired artwork and breezy balconies to the floor-to-ceiling windows and walk-in showers, you’ll feel as if you’re in a lush tropical oasis.

For more space and privacy, check out the resort’s villas or “beachfront” cottages. While not technically located on a beach (after all, Kissimmee is landlocked), the adorable bungalows are located just steps away from Buck Lake. Each cottage includes between one and eight bedrooms and several convenient amenities. Depending on the unit, your cottage may also come with a spacious kitchen, an in-unit washer and dryer, or even a private pool.

PLAY: Pool, Spa, Shopping & Water Park Fun

Fins Up Beach Club

Margaritaville Resort Orlando’s pool area is paradise for water lovers of all ages. Officially known as Fins Up Beach Club, this sunny space is home to three heated pools that are perfect for year-round, water-filled fun.

And why not add a fun umbrella drink or tangy margarita to the mix, courtesy of Salty Rim Bar & Grill? Plus, you won’t want to miss out on the fun pool-front activities either, like brain-busting trivia, exciting bingo, and creative crafts.

St. Somewhere Spa

While a dip in the pool is always a good time, sometimes a trip to the spa is just what you need. That’s where Margaritaville Resort Orlando’s St. Somewhere Spa comes into the picture. Pamper yourself with a series of tropics-inspired massages, body therapies, salon services, and more. There are even unique vitamin therapy services, including nutrient-rich IV drips and B12 shots, to help you feel your absolute best on vacation.

Promenade at Sunset Walk

Check out Promenade at Sunset Walk, a shopping district on the Margaritaville Resort Orlando property. Shop fun stores like Naples Soap Company and Skechers, and find great dining and entertainment options, too.

On Promenade’s dining front, you’ll find over a dozen fantastic eateries. Sip on tequila-based cocktails at El Jefe’s Tequila Bar, cut into juicy steaks at BR77 Brazilian Steakhouse, savor Cuban flavors and rhythms at Estefan Kitchen Orlando, and indulge in cupcakes from SmallCakes Kissimmee. For entertainment, there’s always something happening at this up-and-coming district, from live music to art markets to car shows.

Island H2O Water Park

One of the coolest perks of staying at Margaritaville Resort Orlando is the free ticket to Island H2O Water Park. Located right on resort property, this water park boasts 20 exciting water-filled experiences. Slip and slide down Follow Me Falls, go for a relaxing ride on Chat Creek, challenge your besties on Reply Racers, and get the thrill of your life on Live Streaming’s 326-foot vertical drop!

In between sliding down the rides, you can feast on on tasty food and drinks, like buffalo chicken flatbreads, bacon cheddar loaded fries, warm churros, and tropical “lava flow” cocktails. And if you’d like to bring a piece of the park home with you at the end of your visit, stop by the Mementos shop for a cute souvenir.

DINE: Resort Restaurants & Bars

In addition to the restaurants at the Promenade at Sunset Walk and Island H2O Water Park, there are also a few notable dining options at the main resort.

Euphoria Fish House

First, there’s Euphoria Fish House, an upscale Florida seafood restaurant. While it’s open for three meals a day, Euphoria is most well-known for its gourmet dinners. Start with the creamy lobster bisque, savor the Asian-inspired Chilean sea bass, and finish things off with a tangy key lime tart, all while listening to live music and sipping on your cocktail of choice.

Salty Rim Bar & Grill

Then, there’s Salty Rim Bar & Grill, a poolside eatery that’s great for casual bites and handcrafted cocktails. Dig into a double stacked cheeseburger, munch on chipotle chicken nachos, or enjoy a fish sandwich. No poolside meal would be complete without a tropical drink or two, especially at Margaritaville! Choose from over a dozen tasty drinks, including frozen favorites like the Killer Colada and Mango Tango Slush, or go for the beachy classic Salty Rim Margarita. Party-style buckets are available, and so are wine, beer, and non-alcoholic drinks.
