MARGARITAVILLE NEGRIL
Jimmy Buffett first experienced Jamaica in Negril, many years ago. Following his time in the laid-back atmosphere of the casual resort town, he wrote and performed his hit song ‘Jamaica Mistaica’. Since Jimmy’s first visit, Margaritaville has evolved from a quiet sports bar on the beach to being ranked the Sexiest Beach Bar in Jamaica, 3rd Sexiest in the Caribbean and 12th Sexiest in the World. Margaritaville owners Ian Dear and Brian Jardim, decided to evolve with their fan base and embark on a renovation program to stay sexy. With the expansion program complete, the duo has not only maintained M’ville Negril’s sexy status, they have definitely improved their ranking. To set the mood, 3 private beachside cabanas have been built with reusable materials such as bamboo and tropical, thatched roofs. The cabanas are available for a small fee for those who want to spend time at Margaritaville, while adding some privacy and romance to the beach setting. Designed by Katherine May, the new Sunset Bar features a breathtaking view of the ocean, a boardwalk dining area as well as a mosaic of Margaritaville’s world famous Cheeseburger in Paradise and its perfect companion, a Red Stripe Beer, co-sponsor of the bar. Now more than ever, a trip to Negril is not complete without a day on the beach at Margaritaville. Enjoy one of the 52 Margarita flavors and kick back with some of great chow on the beach, while you watch the sunset as it kisses the Caribbean Sea together with that special someone or a group of friends. Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville Bar & Grill is located on Norman Manley Boulevard and open daily from 9:00 am to 11:00 pm. Call 957-9180 / 957-4467
