‘VILLE NEGRIL – SPRING BREAK PARTY CENTRAL NUMBER ONE
During the month of March, when spring breakers descend on Negril’s seven-mile palm tree lined beach for some fun and frolicking in the sun, Margaritaville Negril takes on the role as Party Central Number One, leading the night action with mega parties and events. Simply listen for the music and follow the crowds to find this local hotspot on the beachfront, where a good time and great company is guaranteed.
Said Ian Dear, owner of Margaritaville together with partner Brian Jardim;- “‘Ville Negril has been the island’s official spring-break headquarter for more than 10 years, and we are known for our huge parties and events. We sometimes put on huge parties for 4,000 – 5,000 kids, and it is a lot of fun.” Themed mega parties include piña colada scented foam parties, Mardi Gras parties and glow parties, typically organized Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights.
This season, Margaritaville is planning to incorporate more music and live bands to get spring breakers and party goers ‘into the groove’. Schedules will include additional concerts and events, so make sure you check in with ‘Ville Negril for the latest party schedule upon your arrival. The ‘Ville greets new island visitors with a welcome party every Sunday, an essential happening not to be missed. Don’t forget to ask about the daily 2-for-1 drink specials, part of the ultimate experience at Jamaica’s undisputed Spring Break headquarters.
However, night time action and mega parties that will leave even the most resilient party-goer begging for a respite, is not all ‘Ville Negril has to offer. Daytime fun includes a rock climbing wall and on-property hair-braiding for those who like to live on the wild side an feel the reggae spirit – if only for a day!
Said Karim Kuzbari from Sunplash Vacations; “Spring breakers typically choose Jamaica because they would like to go to a tropical location, and the island offers that Caribbean island feel that you don’t get in Cancun or Mexico. 80% of the spring breakers who come to the island spend their break in Negril.”

The ‘Ville is certainly a must-do for all extreme Jimmy Buffet fans, also called ‘parrotheads’. Said one parrothead;- “If you like cool bars or if you are a parrothead, Margaritaville is a must-see. Arriving at ‘Ville Montego Bay on a sailboat from a snorkeling trip, we docked and stumbled into this temple of laid-back. The place was amazing, with a 110-feet water slide from the top deck into the bay, which was a total blast.”
