Plan a November Retreat178 venues at their best in November
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.
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.
Umaid Bhawan Palace (Taj)
One of the world's largest private residences, still partly home to the Jodhpur royal family, with a 64-key Taj wing set in 26 acres of formal gardens above the blue city. The plenary moves between the Majestic Banquet Hall (400) and the floodlit Palace Grounds (up to 1,200), and a full evening can be staged as a royal durbar with the Mehrangarh Fort lit on the skyline. Cultural immersion here is genuine, not themed.
Sea Island Resort (The Cloister)
A Forbes Five-Star private island with the Cloister and Lodge, ~400 rooms, three championship courses, and 30,000 sq ft of flexible indoor meeting space that handles groups from 5 to 500. It fills the links/golf hole at a scale Pebble and Pinehurst don't quite match — an entire Georgia barrier island as your campus.
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.
Enchantment Resort
Cradled inside the red-rock walls of Boynton Canyon, a low-slung resort surrounded by trailheads, a renowned canyon spa, and some of the most photographed terrain in America.
La Mamounia
The legendary 1923 palace-hotel — ~209 rooms, 17 acres of walled Moorish gardens, and a 450m² Grand Salon seating ~350 theatre. La Mamounia is the rare Marrakech address that combines true plenary scale with palace theatre: a gala in the gardens, a desert excursion to the Agafay, a hammam-and-souk afternoon as breakouts.
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.
Pinehurst Resort
The cradle of American golf — ten courses in the Carolina pines, a grand village resort, and the home of multiple U.S. Opens.
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.
The LINE LA
A design hotel in Koreatown with 12,000 square feet of event space, an in-house greenhouse restaurant by Michelin-starred chef Josiah Citrin, and capacity for receptions to 425. Its full event floor plus a walkable, food-dense neighborhood make it a natural Los Angeles offsite base.
Hotel Bennett
A Beaux-Arts hotel overlooking Marion Square with 179 rooms and a 7,000-square-foot Crown Ballroom under 30-foot ceilings. The ballroom scales to 500 for general sessions, and rooftop and terrace spaces add Charleston skyline views, making it the city's leading meetings-luxury property.
Palace Hotel Tokyo
The only luxury hotel set directly on the Imperial Palace grounds, rebuilt in 2012 with 290 rooms and Marunouchi-district polish. The Aoi ballroom and eight function rooms combine for roughly 1,500, and terraces face the palace moat, giving a company a landmark Tokyo base at true 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.
Four Seasons Resort & Residences Los Cabos at Costa Palmas
Set on 1,500 acres of Baja's calmer, swimmable East Cape, Costa Palmas pairs the only private marina in Los Cabos with the Sea of Cortez — Jacques Cousteau's 'world's aquarium,' home to over 900 fish species and a genuine billfish fishery (marlin, dorado, tuna). A group runs a closing-night beach gala on three kilometers of swimmable sand, takes a private fleet out for a billfish heat, and never touches the rowdier Cabo San Lucas strip.
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.
Novotel Barossa Valley Resort
A 140-room resort set among vines in the heart of the Barossa, one of Australia's great wine regions. Nine purpose-built event venues seat up to 250 theater or 180 banquet, with balconies over the vineyards and Shiraz cellars minutes in every direction.
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.
Hotel Emma
A 146-room hotel built inside the 1894 Pearl Brewery brewhouse, anchoring San Antonio's Pearl food-and-drink campus along the River Walk. Its industrial bones, a working culinary neighborhood at the doorstep, and a compact key count make it a natural full-buyout for a company that wants a city offsite with a strong sense of place.
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.

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.
San Francisco Proper Hotel
A 131-room design hotel with Kelly Wearstler interiors inside a 1900s flatiron building at Market and McAllister. Full-property buyouts are offered for brand launches and leadership retreats, with Charmaine's rooftop as the marquee reception space and Napa an hour north for a wine-country day.
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.
Barnbougle
A remote links destination on Tasmania's northeast coast with the Dunes and Lost Farm courses running through beachfront dunes over Bass Strait. The 50-room Lost Farm Lodge plus cottages and four-bedroom Bunker Villas host golf groups on some of the world's best coastal links.
Amanpuri
The first Aman, set in a coconut grove on a private headland above Pansea Beach, with 40 pavilions and 44 multi-bedroom villas across 24 hectares. A group can take the pavilions and villas together for an exclusive tropical retreat with its own beach and fleet.

A 4,200-acre estate in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, with 68 accommodations from historic rooms to multi-bedroom cottages. Famed for its kitchen, cellar, sporting clays, falconry and fly fishing — a working farm estate that runs a leadership offsite on its own terms.
Commodore Perry Estate, Auberge Resorts Collection
A restored 1928 Italianate estate on ten walled acres in the middle of Austin, run by Auberge with 54 rooms across the mansion and inn. A full resort buyout turns the grounds into a private compound, with roughly 21,000 square feet of event space and a strong garden-to-table dining program.
Six Senses Shaharut
A 60-suite desert resort built into the topography of the Negev above the Arava Valley, with views to the Edom Mountains of Jordan. It combines a working camel farm, a spa and wellness programming with the space to host a full company far from any city glow.
Lanzerac Wine Estate Hotel & Spa
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.
Cape Weligama
A Resplendent Ceylon resort of 39 villas and suites arrayed along a dramatic cliff above the Indian Ocean on Sri Lanka's south coast, anchored by a crescent cliff-edge pool. A full buyout gives a company the whole headland, its pools, and terraces for a distinctive offsite.

A monolithic desert resort folded into 900 acres of mesas and slot canyons on the Utah–Arizona line, paired with the tented Camp Sarika.
