Margaritaville Heads to Panama with Country’s First Resort

The Margaritaville brand is headed to Panama. The country’s first Margaritaville resort is set to open in 2027 in Playa Caracol, located just about an hour from Panama City on the Gulf of Panama. The destination offers miles of beaches, water sports, shopping, golf and more, and easy access to Panama City means travelers from U.S. locales such as Chicago, Miami and Dallas can reach the resort with a simple direct flight.

Margaritaville Beach Resort & Residences Playa Caracol will offer much of the brand’s staple features, such as the 5 o’ clock Somewhere Bar and License to Chill Bar & Grill. In addition to the resort’s guestrooms, the property will also offer living spaces to rent or purchase, with units starting at $300,000.

“At Margaritaville, we’re always looking for locations that are diverse and multifaceted, so Playa Caracol was the perfect destination to introduce this new way to live. In addition to its growing popularity as a retirement destination, Panama is a bright and inspirational country that brings together elements of fast-paced business with a relaxing lifestyle, similar to Margaritaville’s ethos,” commented Tamara Baldanza-Dekker, CMO, Margaritaville. “Honoring the historic elements of the area and its vibrant future, Margaritaville Beach Resort & Residences Playa Caracol will feature thoughtful design inspired by the country’s energy as a global hub as well as its dynamic landscapes.”
