Tampa, FL — June 29, 2026 — Latitude Margaritaville communities in Panama City Beach, Florida and Hilton Head, South Carolina have been recognized by ideal-LIVING magazine among the Top 100 Best Places to Live across the nation and abroad. Selections are in the magazine’s annual “Best Places to Live” Summer 2026 issue.

Best Places to Live communities are selected based on extensive reader surveys to identify most desired community amenities and lifestyle preferences. These carefully curated communities are distinguished by their top-tier offerings, including a diverse array of amenities such as golf courses, tennis and pickleball courts, watersports facilities, extensive hiking and biking trails, state-of-the-art fitness centers, luxurious spas, marinas, and inviting pools.

They also are chosen based on fostering a strong sense of community, promoting healthy living through walkable environments, and often providing the peace of mind that comes with gated security and numerous social clubs. Many offer the convenience of self-contained living with access to restaurants, grocery stores, and crucial proximity to quality medical centers, alongside the appeal of maintenance-free living with beautifully maintained homes.

Latitude Margaritaville communities are developed by master developer Minto Communities under license from global lifestyle brand Margaritaville Holdings. Latitude Margaritaville Daytona Beach, the first of these communities, sold out in 2025 — more than five years ahead of projections. The second is Latitude Margaritaville Hilton Head in South Carolina. The third, Latitude Margaritaville Watersound, is near Panama City Beach on Northwest Florida’s Emerald Coast. It is being developed through an expanded collaboration that also includes the St. Joe Company. Plans are currently underway for additional Latitude Margaritaville communities in Naples, Florida and Texas with others planned for more of the nation’s most popular destinations.
