Directly on the Atlantic Ocean, the 112-villa resort allows owners and guests to enjoy fun in the sun on over 150 feet of sandy beach. Situated on elegant Ormond Beach, Florida, it is a secluded “cove” for relaxation. Yet it is only moments away from the excitement of Daytona Beach, which is the next beach directly to the south. Owners also enjoy special events throughout the year such as Bike and Race weeks.

Sales of the initial inventory commenced immediately and continued with the construction of an additional 64 two-bedroom, two-bath townhouse villas. All of the townhouses were completed by mid-1989. The resort’s subsequently-added villas are purpose-built five-story mid-rise buildings that feature modern architecture and design, offering vacation owners greater use and exchange flexibility.

There are 90 villas that remain to be built in two additional mid-rise buildings on the resort’s original 64 acres. At build out, the resort will have 948 one-, two- and three-bedroom vacation villas.

Liki Tiki Village is a Central Florida favorite in large part due to its 1.5-acre, 220,000-gallon on-site waterpark, Liki Tiki Lagoon Water Adventure. Opened in 1998, it was the first aquatic amenity of its kind built by a timeshare developer. Available to all Island One Resorts owners and guests, it includes water slides, a simulated wave pool, an erupting volcano that smokes and shoots water, spouting tiki heads, interactive spray jets, a toddlers’ area, a dancing fountain, lounging decks, volleyball, a children’s play area and Shipwreck Sally’s Bar & Grill, which offers poolside food, refreshments and entertainment.
