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

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
