Plan a September Retreat267 venues at their best in September
Gleneagles
A storied Scottish estate on 850 acres of glen — a grand hotel with its own railway stop, falconry school, shooting school, and three championship golf courses.
The Coeur d'Alene Resort
A 338-room lakefront resort on Lake Coeur d'Alene with the scale most lake venues can't touch: 32,000+ sq ft of meeting space, a Hagadone Event Center seating 800 indoor/outdoor, and a Lakeview Terrace for 500. It is the rare lake basecamp that can buy out for a true several-hundred-strong company and still feel like a resort, not a convention center — anchored by the world's only floating golf green.
Grand Geneva Resort & Spa
A 1,300-acre Lake Geneva resort with the largest meeting footprint on this list — 62,000 sq ft of event space for 10 to 1,500 — plus 387 main-lodge rooms and 225 suites at the adjacent Timber Ridge. The most operationally bulletproof choice for a genuine 300–500-person U.S. retreat within 90 minutes of Chicago, with two golf courses, a ski hill, and the lake resort town next door.
Bürgenstock Resort Lake Lucerne
A clifftop resort village 500 m above Lake Lucerne, Bürgenstock spans three hotels (~360 rooms) and a 2,200 m² conference centre seating up to 600 — among the largest premium large-group capacities in the Alps. Arrival by private lake boat and funicular is itself the opening ceremony. It absorbs a full 500-person company while still feeling like a private mountain.
Costa Navarino (Navarino Dunes / Bay)
A 1,000-hectare seaside destination on the unspoiled Messinian coast with four 5-star resorts (The Romanos, The Westin, W, Mandarin Oriental) totalling 1,000+ keys, two signature golf courses, and a beachfront conference centre. A company can take a full hotel as its basecamp and spill activities across the whole estate. This is the Mediterranean answer to a true 500-person retreat without leaving one address.
Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea
A full-buyout-capable oceanfront resort in Wailea with 40,000+ sq ft of event space across 19 indoor/outdoor venues and reception capacity to 750. Entire-property takeovers give a company total privacy on the Wailea coast — the Hawaii hero that scales to a 300–500 plenary while still feeling like a private island compound.
Palácio Estoril Hotel, Golf & Wellness
A 1930s palace hotel on the Portuguese Riviera, famous from its wartime era of exiled royals and spies, with 161 rooms, nine venues for up to 700, a Banyan Tree spa and an 18-hole golf course. Big-capacity heritage thirty minutes from Lisbon and the coast.
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.
The American Club, Destination Kohler
A Forbes Five-Star resort home to Whistling Straits, the Lake Michigan links that hosted the 2020 Ryder Cup, plus Blackwolf Run. Its 241 Tudor rooms and 24 meeting rooms host groups up to 850, with the Irish Barn overlooking the closing holes for golf banquets.
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.
Terranea Resort
A 102-acre bluff-top estate on the Palos Verdes Peninsula with 582 guest rooms, casitas, and villas and more than 135,000 sq ft of flexible event space. The Palos Verdes Grand Ballroom seats 1,000 and receptions run to 1,500, so this hosts the largest cliffside offsites on the West Coast.
The Abbey Resort
The only full-service resort on the shore of Wisconsin's Lake Geneva, with 334 rooms and 40,000 sq ft of flexible meeting space. A marina, spa and lakefront grounds make it a Midwest workhorse for large all-hands within a two-hour drive of Chicago and Milwaukee.
Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise
A 539-room chateau on the turquoise shore of Lake Louise inside Banff National Park, with 36,000 sq ft of meeting space across 22 rooms handling 20 to 850 people. Canoeing on the glacial lake, hiking the Rockies and one of the most photographed views in Canada from the ballroom windows.
Bürgenstock Resort Lake Lucerne
A 60-hectare estate of three hotels (360 rooms total) perched 500m above Lake Lucerne, with 35 event rooms, a 600-seat ballroom, and new lakeside Event Domes for 550. This is the European answer to large-group lake retreats: alpine drama, an iconic cliff-edge infinity pool, and the operational muscle to run a 300-person leadership summit with Swiss precision.
Anantara The Royal Livingstone Victoria Falls Hotel
173 colonial-luxe rooms strung along the Zambezi, with private lawn access to the lip of Victoria Falls and conference space for up to ~450 delegates. This is the rare safari-adjacent property that hosts a full company at one address — plenary, gala under the spray, then sundowner cruises and game drives in Mosi-oa-Tunya as breakouts.
Dromoland Castle
A 16th-century baronial castle on a 450-acre estate with a walled garden, championship golf and a purpose-built Brian Ború Hall that swallows a 450-person conference under 30-foot ceilings. The mix of state rooms for board-level sessions and a full estate for team activity is why companies take it whole.
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.
Six Senses Uluwatu
A 103-key clifftop resort on the limestone headland of Uluwatu, with most rooms facing the Indian Ocean swell and the temple at Pura Luhur on the horizon. The Aarunya ballroom and private lawn step straight onto the cliff edge, and the whole property absorbs a full-company gathering without ever feeling like a convention hotel. The sunset surf break below is one of the most famous in the world.
Trump Turnberry
A century-old Scottish links resort on the Ayrshire coast, home to the four-time Open venue Ailsa Course and King Robert the Bruce, below a landmark clifftop hotel and lighthouse. A 500-seat ballroom and coastal activities make it a full-scale corporate golf destination.
Old Course Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa
A five-star hotel overlooking the 17th of the Old Course in the home of golf, with 175 rooms and event spaces for 4 to 400, the Hall of Champions seating up to 600. It runs corporate golf trips across the town's links plus the resort's own Duke's course and Kohler Waters Spa.
The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay
A 261-room oceanfront resort on a bluff south of San Francisco with two coastal courses, including a Scottish links-style layout with ocean views from every hole. More than 35,000 square feet of event space and a 7,100-square-foot ballroom handle corporate programs up to 400.
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.
Chatham Bars Inn
A 1914 oceanfront estate on 25 acres at the elbow of Cape Cod, with 217 rooms across the Main Inn and cottages and a working eight-acre farm inland. Cottage clusters let a company split into teams while sharing the beach, boathouse, and event lawns.
Cliff House Maine
A 226-room resort perched on Bald Head Cliff above the open Atlantic near Ogunquit, with tiered event decks and a cliff-edge pool. The scale and dedicated conference space make it a straightforward large-group offsite on the southern Maine coast.
Borgo Egnazia
A resort built as a Puglian village of whitewashed courtyards, 182 rooms across La Corte, the Borgo and standalone houses, with 11 meeting rooms handling groups to 500. Site of the 2024 G7 summit, with a championship golf course, spa and Puglian countryside all around.
JW Marriott The Rosseau Muskoka Resort & Spa
Set on a granite bluff above Lake Rosseau in Ontario's cottage country, this 221-room JW Marriott pairs ~26,000 sq ft of event space with a private waterfront, marina, and an infinity pool over the lake. It is the polished North American lake retreat: close enough to Toronto for a continental kickoff, remote enough to feel like a true off-site.
InterContinental Hayman Great Barrier Reef
The northernmost private island in the Whitsundays, taken whole, with 182 rooms, suites and villas and 15 indoor/outdoor event venues across the property. Guests arrive by a 50-minute yacht transfer from Hamilton Island, which makes the whole offsite feel like an expedition the moment it begins. Whitehaven Beach and the outer Great Barrier Reef are day-trips by tender.
Suncadia Resort
A 6,300-acre four-season mountain resort 90 minutes east of Seattle, Suncadia is one of the few Pacific Northwest campuses that can genuinely take a full company — 150+ lodge units plus rental homes, three golf courses, and 15,000+ sq ft of indoor/outdoor meeting space under the Cascade canopy. It fills the PNW hole with real plenary scale instead of a 100-cap boutique.
Adare Manor
A neo-Gothic manor on an 840-acre estate whose golf course hosts the 2027 Ryder Cup, paired with a 499-square-metre Grand Ballroom seating 350. It runs board sessions in the oak-panelled library and awards nights in the ballroom without the group ever leaving the grounds.
Schlosshotel Kronberg
An 1889 palace built for Empress Victoria, fifteen minutes from Frankfurt, with 61 rooms, eight function salons for up to 350, its own 18-hole golf course and estate winery. A rare castle retreat within easy reach of a major European hub.
Hotel Alfonso XIII, a Luxury Collection Hotel
A Moorish-Andalusian palace hotel built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition beside Seville's Alcázar, with 148 rooms and suites and nine function rooms that combine to seat 350. A ceramic-tiled courtyard and grand salons make it a heritage flagship in the city centre.
Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa
A 2,000-foot private ocean beach on the tip of Long Island, Gurney's runs 158 rooms plus the standalone Yacht Club across the harbor, so a company can take the whole peninsula for a summer offsite. The Great Hall handles 300 for all-hands and the Spa Deck opens to 500 for receptions over the Atlantic.
The Resort at Paws Up
A 37,000-acre Montana ranch on the Blackfoot River that invented luxury 'glamping.' Tented camps, homes, and a tented pavilion host hundreds without ever feeling like a hotel.
Pebble Beach Resorts
The most storied stretch of golf in America, where the fairways fall into the Pacific. Three lodges, championship links, and a clifftop that has hosted a century of legends.
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 Hualalai
Built on a black-lava Kona coastline, Hualalai is the rare US-soil tropical buyout that needs no passport for a domestic exec team — 243 low-rise rooms, seven pools including the spring-fed King's Pond aquarium swimmable with rays and tropical fish, a Jack Nicklaus course, and a Pacific big-game fishery (Kona is the marlin capital) a short run offshore. Reachable with one connection from the West Coast.
1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge
A 195-room sustainability-led hotel sitting directly on Brooklyn Bridge Park with full Manhattan-skyline views. Reclaimed-material interiors, 18,000-plus square feet of event space, and a 400-banquet ballroom make it one of the few New York properties that can host a 300-person kickoff and sleep the whole group.
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.
Hotel Arts Barcelona
A 44-story Ritz-Carlton tower on the Barceloneta seafront, with 483 rooms and more than 3,500 square metres of function space. A ballroom to 1,400 and the Arts 41 sky-floors with city and sea views make it one of Barcelona's largest luxury conference bases, steps from the beach.
Pestana Palace Lisboa
A restored 19th-century palace and National Monument in Lisbon's Alcantara district, run as a Leading Hotels of the World property with roughly 190 rooms. Former royal ballrooms and classified botanical gardens give a company genuine palace grandeur, with meeting space that seats up to 500.
Villa Copenhagen
A five-star hotel inside a landmarked 1912 former Central Post & Telegraph building beside Tivoli, with roughly 390 rooms and a sustainability-first ethos. One of central Copenhagen's largest ballrooms seats well over 800, and a heritage central courtyard anchors receptions, making it a full-scale conference base in the heart of the city.
Vila Vita Parc
A 22-hectare clifftop resort on the Algarve coast with roughly 170 rooms, suites, and villas descending to a private beach cove. The spread of villa clusters, event pavilions, and sea-view lawns suits a large company retreat that wants pods plus a shared beachfront.
Villa d'Este
A 16th-century Renaissance villa on the western shore of Lake Como, home to the Ambrosetti economic forum and the Concorso d'Eleganza since the 1920s. 151 rooms across the Cardinal's Building and Queen's Pavilion plus four private villas, with formal gardens running down to a lakefront that hosts an entire company under one flag.
Belmond Reid's Palace
An 1891 Belmond landmark on a clifftop above the Atlantic in Funchal, with 158 rooms and suites set in ten acres of subtropical gardens dropping to the sea. Terraced lawns, a saltwater pool, and event salons let a company take the gardens for a mild-weather offsite almost any month.
Edgewood Tahoe Resort
Tahoe's only true lakefront golf resort — 154 alpine-luxe rooms plus 14 villa suites directly on the shore of the bluest alpine lake in North America. With the 2027 Stillwater Grand Ballroom expansion it crosses into mid-size retreat territory, pairing a championship lakeside course (home of the American Century celebrity tournament) with a private beach.
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.
Sublime Comporta (Terracota + Sublime Sand)
Comporta is Europe's quietest chic coast — cork forests, rice paddies, and empty Atlantic beaches — and Sublime is its anchor. Between the original 17-ha Terracota estate (90 rooms/villas) and the new Sublime Sand hub (124 rooms built for conferences), plus beach-club venues for 250, it holds a genuine 200+ retreat. Design-led and barefoot-luxury, it makes a company feel like it discovered a secret.
The Ned
A Soho House-group members' club and hotel inside a Grade I-listed former Midland Bank headquarters, with 250 bedrooms and a cathedral-scale banking hall holding eight restaurants under one dome. Six listed sixth-floor meeting rooms and two terraces handle breakouts, while the banking hall drives large receptions in the heart of the City.

A restored baronial castle beside its own lake in Donegal, with 96 rooms, 6,500 square feet of conference space and a whole-hotel exclusive-use option offered November through March. Off-season buyouts hand a leadership team the entire estate, spa and lake.
Crossbasket Castle
A 17th-century castle above River Caulder waterfalls, twenty minutes from Glasgow, with a purpose-built ballroom for 250 and full exclusive-use of the historic castle rooms and lodges. Close enough for easy arrivals, private enough to feel like a country estate.
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.

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.
Alisal Ranch
A 10,500-acre Santa Ynez Valley guest ranch with 73 Western cottages and suites, two golf courses and a spring-fed lake. Groups take room blocks or the whole ranch and run rides, cattle work and lake days between meetings held in the Sycamore and Cottonwood rooms.
Airelles Château de la Messardière
A 19th-century hillside château above Saint-Tropez with 86 rooms, twelve event spaces for up to 220, five restaurants including Matsuhisa by Nobu, and a private Pampelonne beach club. Big enough for a full company kickoff, glamorous enough to double as the celebration.
Sorrel River Ranch Resort & Spa
A 240-acre riverfront ranch on the Colorado River between Arches and Canyonlands, offered for full buyout. Guests ride horses, raft the river and 4x4 the red rock by day and return to river-view rooms, the spa and the River Grill.

Sixty-seven oversized suites take exclusively for a true buyout, with grounds and a ballroom flexing to 400 for events. It is the Costa del Sol at its most private — a cortijo a company can own for a week, ten minutes from the sea.
Soho House Berlin
A Soho House members' club and hotel inside a Bauhaus-era former department store on Torstrasse in Berlin-Mitte, with roughly 145 bedrooms. Six event spaces scale to 400, a rooftop pool overlooks Alexanderplatz, and the building's layered history gives a Berlin offsite genuine character.

The Hoxton, Chicago

Waterford Castle Hotel & Golf Resort
A 16th-century castle on its own 310-acre private island in the River Suir, reached by a two-minute car ferry, with 19 castle rooms plus 48 three-bedroom garden lodges and an 18-hole championship course. Cross the ferry and the whole island belongs to the group.

Carneros Resort & Spa
A 28-acre cottage-and-barn resort at the gateway to Napa's Carneros wine district, with 38,000+ sq ft of indoor/outdoor venues for groups up to ~175. It fills the genuine Napa/Sonoma hole — standalone freestanding cottages give a buyout the feel of a private wine-country hamlet rather than a hotel.

A 5,200-acre nature preserve above the Great Smoky Mountains — sister to famed Blackberry Farm — built around trails, wellness, and some of the best food in the South.

The Allison Inn & Spa
Oregon wine country's flagship resort on 35 acres of vineyard and farmland outside Newberg, with 85 rooms and suites and 12,000 sq ft of meeting space. Every room faces the valley or vine-covered hillsides, and the Pinot country of the Dundee Hills is minutes away.
The Ranch at Rock Creek
A Forbes Five-Star working ranch on 6,600 acres of the Montana Rockies, run all-inclusive with 29 accommodations across lodge rooms, canvas cabins and historic homes. A single company takes the whole property, so there are no other guests, no shared dining room, and the trout stream, saloon and shooting range belong to the group.
The Lodge at Blue Sky
A 3,500-acre conservation ranch in the Wasatch foothills — equestrian center, trout creek, a working distillery, and an Auberge lodge with mountain-modern rooms.
Conservatorium Hotel
A five-star hotel in a restored 19th-century former conservatory and bank in Amsterdam's Museum Quarter, now under Mandarin Oriental with roughly 129 rooms.

Parador de Cardona
A 9th-century fortress on a promontory over the Cardener valley, run as a Parador with 54 rooms and a medieval refectory dining hall, ninety minutes from Barcelona. Dinner in a genuine Gothic hall and meetings inside a castle keep make it a distinctive strategy offsite.

CERVO Mountain Resort
A cluster of alpine chalets above car-free Zermatt with 54 rooms and suites plus seven lodges, an onsen-inspired mountain spa, and three restaurants. Its lodge-and-chalet layout and private-catering options suit a company that wants a whole-hamlet feel with Matterhorn views and summer hiking at the door.
San Luis Retreat Hotel & Lodges
An alpine hamlet of 42 wooden chalets and treehouses set in 100 acres of private larch and spruce forest around a mountain lake above Merano. A 5,800 sqm lakeside clubhouse with restaurants, cinema, and wine cellar gives a company a self-contained village for a summer-forward retreat.
Ocean House
A restored 1868 grand hotel on a bluff above a private Atlantic beach in Watch Hill, with 66 rooms and suites and a Forbes Five-Star, Relais & Châteaux standard throughout. A whole-house buyout gives a leadership group the beach, the croquet lawn, and the ballroom to themselves.
Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco
A 5,000-acre 900-year-old estate in the UNESCO-listed Val d'Orcia, with 42 suites and 11 restored farmhouse villas. A working Brunello di Montalcino winery, a private golf club and rolling Tuscan countryside make it a countryside estate with wine at its core.
Blackberry Farm
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.
Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve
Four distinct lodges on one of the Big Five's most reliable traversing areas, owner-operated since 1979. Bush Lodge (the flagship, ~25 suites + conference facility) anchors the plenary while Earth Lodge, Selati Camp and Little Bush Camp absorb breakout groups — a coordinated full-reserve buyout that scales past the single-camp ceiling without losing the genuine wilderness feel.
FORESTIS Dolomites
A minimalist forest-and-mountain hotel at 1,800 m above Brixen with 62 suites, an exclusive-use villa, and unbroken Dolomite views. Silence, spring water, and larch-forest wellness anchor a summer-forward program; the private villa adds a leadership-team hideaway alongside the main house.
COMO Castello Del Nero

Andrew Carnegie's former Highland seat on an 8,000-acre estate, run as a private club with 21 castle rooms and 12 estate lodges, a private links course and clay shooting. It hosts full-estate takeovers for a single company as the club's book allows — a rarefied leadership retreat.
The Gritti Palace
A 1525 Grand Canal palazzo, once home to Doge Andrea Gritti, with 82 rooms, gilded salons and canal-front terraces for intimate senior programs. Arrival is by private water taxi to the palace steps — a small, high-status leadership retreat rather than a mass conference.
Heckfield Place
A restored Georgian family home on a 400-acre estate less than an hour from London, with rooms across the house and a private cottage. A biodynamic home farm, wild grounds, a Dolby Atmos screening room and a 17,000 sq ft spa make it a private country house for a whole team.
Amangiri
A monolithic desert resort folded into 900 acres of mesas and slot canyons on the Utah–Arizona line, paired with the tented Camp Sarika. Booked together, the 34-suite resort and ten Sarika pavilions give a company its own stretch of the Colorado Plateau, built around a pool wrapped in an escarpment.
Nihi Sumba
A remote 27-villa resort spread along a wild surf beach and jungle bluff on Sumba island, famous for the Occy's Left wave and horseback rides in the shallows. A full buyout gives a company the beach, the jungle spa, and the whole estate far off the grid.
Laucala Island
A privately owned 3,500-acre island in northern Fiji with just 25 freestanding villas, a working farm, reef, and its own airstrip and dive center. A full-island buyout hands a company the reef, the golf course, and the whole island's staff for a fully self-contained retreat.
