In partnership with TPI Hospitality, Margaritaville Holdings will unveil a Margaritaville Resort in Fort Myers Beach, Florida, which is scheduled debut in 2021.

The 254-room property will feature all the bells and whistles that Margaritaville guests expect, including the LandShark Beach Club, a 5 o'Clock Somewhere Bar & Grill, a beachside LandShark Bar & Grill and a JWB Bar and Grill.

It will be set on seven acres in Fort Myers' Times Square area.

"The Times Square section of Fort Myers is known for its great food, entertainment and fun-attributes that are synonymous with Margaritaville," said John Cohlan, chief executive officer of Margaritaville. "With our signature lifestyle built on relaxation, escapism and good times (and TPI Hospitality's solid experience in new resort developments) we feel we have a perfect partnership in place.

More details on the property will announced in the coming months, Margaritaville and TPI Hospitality said.

News of the Fort Myers resort comes on the heels of Margaritaville's April announcement to open a hotel in New York City' Times Square neighborhood in 2020

The New York property will be Margaritaville's second urban hotel. In 2019, the company is set to unveil a 217-room hotel in downtown Nashville. It is also set to open a 300-acre property in Orlando later this year, and another in Nassau in 2019.

Margaritaville is also entering into the all-inclusive resort through partnership with Karisma Hotels & Resorts to create the first Margaritaville resorts throughout Mexico and the Caribbean. The first such resort is scheduled to make its debut in 2019 adjacent to Karisma's Azul Beach Resort Sensatori in Riviera Maya.
