Nestled in the heart of Missouri, Margaritaville Lake Resort Lake of the Ozarks is your perfect summer destination for fun, relaxation, and a little island state of mind. Whether you're visiting for a family getaway, couples retreat, or a weekend with friends, we've put together the ideal 3-day itinerary to make the most of your stay.

Day 1: Check In and Chill Out at Margaritaville Lake Resort Lake of the Ozarks

Afternoon: Arrival & Exploration
Kick off your stay with a warm welcome and smooth check-in at the resort. After dropping your bags in your comfortable guest room or suite, take a leisurely walk to get your bearings. Stroll along the lake, snap a few selfies by the water, and breathe in that fresh Ozark air.

Evening: Dinner at LandShark Bar & Grill
Ease into island time with a lakeside dinner at LandShark Bar & Grill. Sip on a margarita (or two!) while enjoying laid-back bites like fish tacos, burgers, and our signature Taco Nachos. Don't forget to stick around for the sunset—it's a must-see.

Night: Bonfire & Live Music
If you're staying on a weekend, check the resort schedule for live music or s'mores by the bonfire. Let the good vibes carry you into your first night in paradise.

Day 2: Adventure Meets Relaxation

Morning: Water Fun & Lake Time
Start the day with a hearty breakfast from JB's Boathouse Grill, then hit the water! Rent a jet ski, paddleboard or pontoon boat right from the Port of Indecision Marina. For families, the Jolly Mon Indoor Water Park offers slides, a lazy river, and plenty of splash-tastic fun.

Afternoon: Mini Golf & Margaritas
After drying off, challenge your crew to a round of 18-hole mini golf or test your aim with a game of cornhole at Fin City Billiards. Then, reward yourselves with drinks at License to Chill Bar & Grill—frozen cocktails and lake views make the perfect combo.

Evening: Sunset Cruise or Tiki Party
Book a sunset cruise for breathtaking views of the Lake of the Ozarks or enjoy an upscale dinner with lakeviews at Windrose Marker 26 Lakeside Dining. It's summer at its finest with music, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

Day 3: Slow Down & Soak It In

Morning: Spa Serenity or Golf Getaway
Treat yourself to a relaxing session at Driftwood Spa & Salon, where massages, facials and body treatments will leave you refreshed. Golfers, grab a tee time at The Oaks Golf Course —our championship course offers stunning fairways and a challenge for every skill level.

Midday: Poolside Vibes & Last Bites
Spend your final afternoon soaking up the sun at Lakeside Outdoor Pool. Order snacks and cocktails poolside from The Tiki Hut Pool Bar and enjoy your last few hours in total relaxation mode.

Departure: But Not Goodbye
Before you check out, swing by The Margaritaville Store for Margaritaville Lake Resort Lake of the Ozarks merch and keepsakes to remember your stay. We promise—you'll be planning your return before you even hit the road.
