Hollywood Beach visitors are looking forward to enjoying a "Cheeseburger in Paradise!"

The luxurious, 349-room Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort is planned for a five-acre site between Johnson and Michigan streets. The resort will include convention and ballroom space, retail stores, restaurants, full-service spa and fitness center, a dual lane wave rider, and other amenities. Plans also include a 1,600-square-foot Landshark Bar and Grill on the Intracoastal Waterway featuring dock space for boat access. 

The project is designed to be a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver resort, a new boat dock with eco-tours along the Intracoastal, and more entertainment and outdoor seating at the beach theater. 

In April, the Hollywood City Commission and Community Redevelopment Agency Board (CRA) approved an extension to the timeframe for the development team to have all agreements and permits in place to begin construction. An amendment to the agreement is expected to come before the City Commission/CRA board in a special Joint Commission/CRA Meeting on May 29 at 5:00 p.m. for consideration. The City and CRA currently have a compensated funding agreement and lease with the developer, Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort LLC. Pending approval of the amendment, construction would begin after the City's annual July 4 celebration.
