A vibrant new destination is on the horizon in the Western Caribbean.

Located on the idyllic shores of Turtling Bay, this will be the third resort in the Margaritaville Island Reserve collection and a major milestone for the brand’s Caribbean expansion.
A Slice of Paradise in Turtling Bay
Spread across 8.8 acres and 200 meters of pristine shoreline, the upcoming resort will feature 170 rooms — including oceanfront suites and swim-up accommodations — designed for laid-back luxury with panoramic sea views.
