Coastal vs Ski Resort

Two ways to run a company offsite, side by side — group size, budget, where each concentrates, and the estates worth booking.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
