Today Margaritaville unveiled Parrot Head Advanced Sun Care, a totally new product line of advanced sun care for the tropical lifestyle. The Original Margaritaville store in Key West Florida became the first store in the world to display the new product line starting today, the rest of the world will follow over the coming weeks and months.
Margaritaville Parrot Head is more than advanced sun care. It nourishes and moisturizes skin the way that the best skin care products do, as it protects it from the sun.

This moisturizing breakthrough is further infused with vitamins and other natural ingredients like Olive Squalane, Borage, Hemp, Brazil Nut, Avocado, Calendula, Chamomile, Comfrey and Carrot. Together, these ingredients work to enhance skin's elasticity and moisture retention, protect against oxidative stress, and have anti-aging properties as well.
Of course, since it's from Margaritaville, Parrot Head is also about having fun. The brand was inspired by the legions of freewheeling, sun-seeking Parrot Heads around the world. Every Parrot Head product is infused with the essence of Margaritaville, and is made to let you escape to the tropics anytime.

The fate of the long-anticipated Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort is in peril because of problems obtaining financing, but the city and the developer say they're optimistic the money will come through.
Developer Lon Tabatchnik is supposed to have financing in place by Tuesday but has yet to raise the $126 million needed for the 17-story, 349-room Jimmy Buffett-themed resort.
Tabatchnik had hoped to get the money through a program that gives foreign investors residency in the United States if they invest at least $500,000 each in job-creating projects.
But Tabatchnik, city officals say, has received commitments to date from only 26 Chinese investors, which would raise $13 million, far too little to meet Tuesday's deadline.
To get the project going, he's now talking to banks for loans and he's asking the city's Community Redevelopment Agency to kick in up to $25 million.
"We're not alarmed by this," Assistant City Manager Cathy Swanson-Rivenbark said. "We absolutely know he is feverishly working on this."
Despite "the unforeseen hurdles," Tabatchnik said he is not discouraged.
"We're in the process of negotiating and finalizing the terms of our financing arrangements. We're very close," he said. "We'll get them accomplished and we'll get this project built."
City officials say Tabatchnik wants to borrow at least $75 million from banks, but hotel analysts say banks are tight with credit for new hotels since the financial crisis in 2008.
"I think it's going to be awfully tough. Banks are typically looking for at least 35 percent to 40 percent real equity," said hotel analyst Scott Brush, of Brush & Co. in Miami.
The CRA already committed to lend Tabatchnik $10 million for furnishings at the resort when it is built. Tabatchnik is asking the agency to increase the loan by $15 million and provide it sooner so he can build.
The city is studying the proposal, Swanson-Rivenbark said.
Margaritaville is the most ambitious hotel venture for Hollywood since the Westin Diplomat opened in 2002. The Jimmy Buffett name is expected to attract people from far and wide and boost the city's ailing finances.
The project will occupy six acres at Johnson Street on the Broadwalk and across State Road A1A on the Intracoastal Waterway. It will include seven restaurants, numerous bars and retail shops, a spa, pools and a simulated-wave pool. Backers hoped it would open in early 2014.
Leonard Ivler, a bike-rental merchant on the Broadwalk, has long been skeptical of the project.
"Nobody believed from the beginning that the guy was going to get his money together," Ivler said.
That skepticism was fueled in March when the City Commission pushed back certain construction related deadlines from March to June and the proposed opening from March 2014 to August 2014.
Tabatchnik has missed other deadlines. The city sent him a letter May 1 for failing to submit certain project specifications and construction contracts on time. He has 60 days to comply.
Still, city officials are confident the project will go forward.
Tabatchnik has been paying $20,000 a month since July as a pre-lease payment to the city.
"The way that we structured the lease agreement, the city does not turn over the property until everything is in place," Swanson-Rivenbark said. "While it may delay the project, I don't believe it jeopardizes it."
Others are hopeful too that Margaritaville will strum like a six-string.
"It's a shame," Brush, the hotel analyst, said about the financing delays. "I would like to see that hotel get built."
It's always 5 o'clock somewhere and on May 22, somewhere is Margaritaville Biloxi.
The Margaritaville Casino and Restaurant Biloxi will open to the public on May 22 at 8pm, bringing a casino experience to the Gulf Coast unlike any other.
Inspired by the lyrics and philosophy of Jimmy Buffett, a native son of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Margaritaville Casino and Restaurant is a natural fit for Biloxi. Fans of the island lifestyle, devoted Parrotheads or anyone who likes to have a good time will enjoy the laid-back atmosphere. From palm trees and fishing boats to suspended airplanes and a margarita-erupting volcano, the authentic tropical surroundings set the scene for getting away and having fun, whether you're here for a few days or just a few hours. Another distinguishing feature of Margaritaville is a 30ft. wall of glass that makes a striking design statement and opens the interior to the spectacular view of the beautiful Biloxi Bay Bridge spanning the Back Bay.
"I am thrilled," Jimmy answered, when asked about the opening of Margaritaville Biloxi. "Biloxi has been on my songline for a long, long time. I made my professional singing debut here back in the late 60's, when I used to drive my Ford Falcon 'down around Biloxi' from the school in Hattiesburg, to play weekends at Trader Jons. Before that, I spent many a weekend, as a child of the Gulf Coast, with my family at the Sun 'n Sand. I have been fortunate to do many things in my career, but coming full circle to Biloxi with Margaritaville, surely is one of the highlights. It is not only fun, to be coming home and bringing our brand of fun to the Mississippi Gulf Coast," Buffett added, "It is also very gratifying to be able to provide nearly 1,000 new jobs for Mississippians these days. I would just like to personally thank everyone who has had a hand in this adventure, so, let's let the fin begin."
Margaritaville Biloxi is the Mississippi Gulf Coast's first casino to be constructed since the Mississippi Legislature approved land-based gaming in 2006 and the first casino to be built in the United States since 2010.
Located on the eastern tip of Biloxi's Back Bay, the dynamic casino complex is an open design with slots and table games in the center and the 5 o'clock Somewhere Bar. The Margaritaville Restaurant and the "Feeding Frenzy Buffet" both feature Gulf Coast cuisine. An adjacent entertainment venue will accommodate 700-900 guests for concerts and events. Outside are expansive multi-level dining decks and a marina with food and drinks situated at the water's edge. Music will be play an integral role as visitors will enjoy a variety of local, regional and national acts in the various performance areas.
"Margaritaville Biloxi is an exciting new casino concept that marries the authentic DNA of Jimmy Buffett with a festive casino environment," said Thomas Brosig, President of Margaritaville Biloxi. "We welcome guests to come by land or by sea for a one-of-a-kind entertainment experience."
