Plan a January Retreat191 venues at their best in January
Taj Falaknuma Palace
The former Nizam of Hyderabad's palace on a hill above the city, with a 101-seat state dining hall, a Durbar Hall and gardens that host events from 60 to 1,800. Guests arrive by horse-drawn carriage into one of India's grandest heritage settings.
Casa de Campo Resort & Villas
A 7,000-acre private estate that has hosted heads of state and Fortune 100 incentive groups for 50 years — the rare Caribbean property where the signature experience is built in: a championship polo program, a 245-station shooting course (the best year-round in the Caribbean), Pete Dye's Teeth of the Dog golf, a deep-water marina for billfish, and an Altos de Chavón replica Mediterranean village for the closing-night gala. You take villas and hotel inventory together, so a single group owns its own corner of the resort.
Atlantis Paradise Island
The Caribbean's only true large-conference campus that still feels like a holiday: 500,000+ sq ft of meeting space, a 50,000-sq-ft Imperial Ballroom that seats 4,000, plus 11-acre Aquaventure waterscape, an open-air marine habitat, a Tom Weiskopf golf course and a 63-slip mega-yacht marina. This is the one tropical basecamp that genuinely absorbs even several-hundred-strong companies — and well beyond — without partner overflow.
Jai Mahal Palace
A restored early-20th-century palace on 18 acres of Mughal gardens in the heart of Jaipur, with about 100 rooms, seven meeting venues and lawns that stage evening functions for up to 2,000. Room for a full company kickoff with a genuine Rajasthani celebration built in.
Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi
A landmark palace hotel with 394 rooms, a 1,100-seat auditorium, the 2,183-square-metre Etihad Ballroom and more than 40 meeting spaces, set on a private beach and marina. Purpose-built for company-wide conferences at true scale with heritage grandeur.
Alvear Palace Hotel
A 1932 Belle Époque palace in Recoleta with 207 rooms and ten banquet halls handling events from 10 to 800, all Louis XVI marble and gold leaf. In Argentina's polo capital, it pairs city-centre grandeur with the country's signature equestrian and wine experiences.
Devil's Thumb Ranch Resort & Spa
A 6,500-acre Rocky Mountain ranch near Winter Park with 20,000 square feet of barn and lodge meeting space that handles groups up to 500. Cabins and lodge rooms sit across the valley; days run to horseback, fly-fishing on the Fraser and Nordic trails in winter.
Fairmont Chateau Whistler
A grand chateau at the base of Blackcomb Mountain with more than 32,000 sq ft of meeting space across 12 function rooms and capacity for 10 to 1,500 attendees. Ski-in/ski-out to Whistler Blackcomb, an 11,000+ sq ft divisible ballroom, and a large room count make it one of the few true large-scale corporate ski venues in North America.
Sun Valley Lodge
America's original destination mountain resort, opened 1936 and renovated in 2015, with 108 rooms and suites, the Sun Valley Inn, rental cottages, and a large convention center handling groups from 10 to 1,000. A summer-forward valley of hiking, cycling, and golf plus a 15-treatment-room spa anchors the retreat, with winter skiing on Bald Mountain.
Viceroy Snowmass
Ski-in/ski-out at the base of Snowmass with 22,000 sq ft of event space across six buildings and a Grand Ballroom that seats up to 400. It delivers the Aspen-area cachet without the single-lodge size cap — a true ski-resort buyout-grade basecamp that runs winter slope days or summer alpine programs equally well.
Montage Deer Valley
A large mountain resort at the top of Empire Pass with more than 60,000 sq ft of indoor and outdoor meeting space and two ballrooms, so a company can host several hundred people and still ski-in/ski-out to Deer Valley. Guest rooms, suites, and residences flex a program from a leadership offsite to a full-company kickoff.
Millbrook Resort
A 650-acre golf and lifestyle resort in the Wakatipu Basin under the Remarkables, with 160 rooms across studios, suites and resort homes — capacity for 350-plus guests and all four onsite restaurants privately bookable. It's the rare Queenstown property that can take a large group end-to-end while putting bungee, jet-boating, heli-wine and the Otago wine country all within reach. The Southern Alps do the rest.
Los Sueños — Costa Rica
A Pacific marina-and-rainforest resort that is the billfishing capital of the Americas — a full sportfishing fleet on the dock and howler monkeys in the canopy above.
Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita
On a private 1,500-acre peninsula north of Puerto Vallarta, Punta Mita gives a group two Jack Nicklaus courses (including the famous Tail of the Whale island green), 35,500 sq ft of indoor-outdoor event space, the Toki Ballroom seating 300 banquet-style, and Pacific waters that hold marlin, sailfish and seasonal whales. The closing dinner is on an ocean-facing lawn; the signature day is a billfish heat or a regatta in Banderas Bay.
Faena Hotel Miami Beach
The oceanfront flagship of the Faena District, a Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin production with a gold mammoth, a Damien Hirst, and 180 rooms. On-property function space runs to 750 reception, and the adjacent OMA-designed Faena Forum handles plenaries to 1,000, giving a company both spectacle and scale.
Four Seasons Hotel Mexico City
A hacienda-style Four Seasons wrapped around a tranquil central courtyard on Paseo de la Reforma, with 240 rooms and suites. A ballroom to 500 reception, twelve breakout spaces and a landscaped courtyard, plus one of Latin America's top cocktail bars, make it a full-scale base for a Mexico City offsite.
Capella Sydney
A 2023 opening inside the restored heritage Department of Education sandstone building in Sydney's CBD, with 192 rooms and suites. The Capella Ballroom, a dedicated events venue called The Lands to roughly 420, and a heritage sandstone courtyard make it a landmark conversion built for large corporate gatherings.
Sofitel Winter Palace Luxor
An 1886 palace on the Nile amid tropical gardens beside the ancient temples, with about 92 rooms and banquet halls seating up to 500. Sunrise balloon flights over the Valley of the Kings and temple-side dining make it a striking strategy-and-celebration base.
Rancho de los Caballeros
An 18,000-acre Sonoran Desert guest ranch north of Phoenix with 79 casitas, its own championship golf course and 12,500 square feet of meeting space. It runs corporate groups of 100-plus, pairing boardroom mornings with trail rides, clay shooting and desert cookouts.
Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North
A casita resort tucked into the Sonoran Desert at the foot of Pinnacle Peak, with 210 rooms and suites spread across low adobe-style buildings among saguaros. Its scale and meeting space make it a workhorse for larger companies that still want desert quiet and Troon North golf next door.
Boulders Resort & Spa
Set across 1,300 acres of Sonoran Desert around 12-million-year-old granite boulder formations, this Curio Collection resort offers 221 casitas, villas and haciendas plus two golf courses and a large spa. Its footprint and multi-bedroom villas suit big off-sites that mix all-hands with team competitions.
Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula Papagayo
A 153-room Hyatt resort set in tropical dry forest above two beaches on the Papagayo Peninsula, with a marina, a large ballroom, and forest-and-bay event decks. The scale and conference infrastructure make it one of Central America's more capable large-group tropical offsites.
Schloss Elmau Luxury Spa Retreat & Cultural Hideaway
A two-time G7 Summit host set in a private alpine valley, Schloss Elmau pairs a literal castle with a second 'Hideaway' wing, a concert hall, six restaurants, and five spas. Booking both houses exclusively gives a company the entire valley — heads of state have done exactly that. It is the rare European basecamp that is genuinely engineered for secure, large, multi-day gatherings.
Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono
A ski-in/ski-out Park Hyatt at the base of Mt. Yotei, where the offsite is built around Niseko's legendary powder by day and an onsen-and-kaiseki ritual by night. The Events Village adds a glass chapel, two event rooms, a wine cellar and a show kitchen alongside the hotel's ballroom. A genuine winter signature experience that very few APAC venues can host at scale.
Stein Eriksen Lodge Deer Valley
A Norwegian-style lodge set mid-mountain at Deer Valley's Silver Lake Village, with ski-in/ski-out access to groomed-only terrain and 179 rooms and suites across the property. The Stein Ballroom is the largest daylit ballroom in Park City, so a company can run plenary, breakouts, and a black-tie dinner without leaving the building.
Rosewood Mayakoba
A 129-suite resort woven into freshwater lagoons and mangrove jungle behind a Caribbean beach in Mayakoba, reached by boat through the canals. Overwater suites, a beach club, and lagoon-side event lawns make it a jungle-and-reef offsite that still lands large groups.
The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert
109 private pool-villas scattered across a 1,235-acre desert nature reserve an hour from Dubai. Dune-scale capacity meets Bedouin theatre: falconry at dawn, a marquee gala in the dunes, horse-riding and archery as breakouts — all under one luxury operator with five meeting rooms and a brand corporate planning bench.
Tanque Verde Ranch
A historic Sonoran Desert guest ranch on the edge of Saguaro National Park with 69 casitas and haciendas, indoor meeting space to 200 and the Cottonwood Grove for outdoor events to 400. Corporate groups pair sessions with trail rides, roping clinics and desert cookouts.

A Cottonwood Ballroom and adjacent lawn with Teton views handle plenary, receptions, and Grand Teton and Yellowstone group programs.
Sundance Mountain Resort
Robert Redford's arts-and-nature resort on the slopes of Mount Timpanogos, with 95 guest cottages, 10 mountain homes, 12,000 sq ft of meeting space, and 5,000 acres of wilderness. The Redford Conference Center, Screening Room, and Rehearsal Hall give a company an unusual creative-and-outdoors backdrop that is strongest in summer.
Joshua Creek Ranch
An Orvis-endorsed wingshooting and sporting ranch in the Texas Hill Country, with riverside lodges, a sporting-clays course, and guided hunts that run like clockwork for big groups.
Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort
115 rooms and cliff-edge pool villas perched at 2,000m on the rim of Oman's 'Grand Canyon of Arabia.' The dramatic escarpment delivers a genuinely different desert-mountain register — via-ferrata and canyon-edge dinners by day, conference and gala space for the full group, and a cool climate that programs comfortably when the Gulf below is too hot.
W Verbier
A design-forward ski hotel at the Medran lift base in Verbier with 123 rooms, suites, and residences and direct access to 400+ km of the Four Valleys. Three studios and a double-height hall handle plenary and banquet needs, and the lift-base location puts a company on-snow in minutes.
Grand Hotel Zermatterhof
A historic Swiss grande dame in the heart of car-free Zermatt with Matterhorn views, 69 rooms and suites, and a modular conference centre for up to 260. Lift access to Zermatt's three ski areas and a village-centre location make it a base for a company that wants the mountain and the Matterhorn at the window.
Arlberg1800 / Arlberg Hospiz Hotel, St. Christoph
A ski-in/ski-out hospiz at 1,800 m on the Arlberg pass, birthplace of the Arlberg ski school, with hotel rooms, chalet suites, a concert hall, and one of Europe's deepest wine cellars. St. Christoph sits directly on the Arlberg's linked lift network, so a company skis from the door across St. Anton, Lech, and Zurs.
Alila Jabal Akhdar
A stone-clad resort at 2,000 metres on the rim of a canyon in Oman's Al Hajar mountains, with 86 suites and villas overlooking terraced rose villages and deep wadis. The altitude keeps it temperate year-round, and the scale handles a full company with via-ferrata, wadi drives and Nizwa fort trips nearby.
COMO Parrot Cay
A private-island resort of around 65 rooms, suites, beach houses, and villas on a 1,000-acre cay with a mile-long beach, reached only by boat from Providenciales. The mix of rooms and multi-bedroom villas lets a company pod its teams while sharing one long Caribbean beach.

Higashiyama Niseko Village, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve
A ski-in/ski-out Reserve at the base of Niseko Annupuri with 50 rooms and suites and views to Mount Yotei, sitting inside the wider Niseko Village resort. Legendary Japan powder, an onsen-forward spa, and Reserve-level private dining make it a compact, exclusive-feeling base for a leadership group chasing snow.

A 300-year-old working wine estate below the Helderberg mountains, five minutes from historic Stellenbosch. 48 rooms and suites, six meeting venues seating 10 to 150, and a Cellar Hall with a glass wall onto the working winery — a wine-country base with the vines at the door.

Vigilius Mountain Resort
A car-free Matteo Thun-designed mountain resort at 1,500 m above Lana, reachable only by cable car, with 41 rooms and suites, a 1,200 sqm spa, and Dolomite views.

Aman Le Melezin
A serene, low-key Aman on the Bellecote piste in Courchevel 1850, with around 31 rooms and suites and a two-floor spa across a four-storey house. Quiet luxury, direct piste access, and full-property exclusive-use make it a leadership hideaway that is as strong in summer alpine season as in winter.
