Margaritaville
Tropical escape fantasy
Margaritaville is a carefree, escapist state of mind associated with beach life, tropical drinks, and relaxed hedonism.
The term comes from Jimmy Buffett's 1977 song about wasting away in a coastal paradise, and has since become shorthand for laid-back coastal culture and perpetual vacation mentality: He retired to Florida and went full Margaritaville.
The name also appears on Buffett-branded restaurants, resorts, and merchandise.
