At Hilton Sandestin Beach, the experience doesn't stop when the sessions end. From unique team building activities to indulgent private dining, we have everything your group needs to unwind, connect, and truly make the most of their time in Destin, Florida.
Take a look at some of the ways you can entertain your group and request a proposal to host your next gathering beachfront.
Kick off your shoes and play in the soft, sugar-white beaches of Destin, Florida. Our volleyball nets are perfect for a competitive group. Whether you are splitting your team up into multiple groups to compete in a tournament or enjoying a casual game, this is the perfect activity to stretch your legs and enjoy the beach.
Put everyone's unique talents to the test with a full day of beach competitions! Kick things off with Beach Olympics — crawl through rope barriers, see how far your colleagues can slingshot a water balloon, and work through a series of challenges. Then dig your heels into the sand for a tug-of-war showdown and see which team has what it takes to come out on top. Set up a single-elimination bracket to keep the rivalry going all day long.
Treat your attendees to some well-deserved relaxation at Serenity by the sea Spa, our on-site, award-winning spa and salon. Serenity offers a full range of services, including massages, facials, body therapies, manicures, and pedicures, and features a whirlpool, saunas, and separate men's and women's lounge areas. Short on time between sessions? Book quick 10-minute chair massages to send your attendees back to the room refreshed and ready to go.
No team building beach resort experience is complete without a round on the links! Guests at Hilton Sandestin enjoy year-round access to four renowned golf courses, each offering its own unique challenges. Take advantage of this great perk, and plan a special golf outing for your group.
Planning to have a band play during your event? Our indoor and outdoor venues offer AV services to help you set the right mood—whether that's a live band bringing the energy on the pool deck or a string quartet providing the perfect backdrop for your indoor reception.
Destin, Florida, is known as "the world's luckiest fishing village." Treat your guests to a half-day or full-day fishing excursion and let them enjoy the marine life. We even offer a catch-and-cook program at one of our on-site restaurants, Sandcastles—perfect for VIP guests or smaller groups. We can also help you plan a nearby dolphin cruise, sunset cruise, or dinner cruise, and if you’d rather get in the water, book a trip to Vortex Spring Adventures for a day of snorkeling or SCUBA diving.
Hilton Sandestin Beach is surrounded by some of Florida's most spectacular natural scenery, and our team is happy to help coordinate your trip! Explore the rare coastal dune lakes of South Walton, visit Grayton Beach State Park, or hit the trails at Topsail Hill Preserve State Park and Point Washington State Forest.
Come as a company, then gather as a team around a Destin fire on the beach. Sit fireside as you toast to a successful business trip where the bonds between coworkers grew just as much as the knowledge gained in meetings. With the setting sun as your backdrop enjoy a cocktail or two and unwind from the day's activities.
Seagar's Prime Steaks & Seafood is our on-site, award-winning AAA Four-Diamond steakhouse. Beyond the delicious USDA prime steak dishes and fresh seafood, the restaurant offers a 600+ label wine list, craft cocktails, captain service, and live piano entertainment, making it the perfect spot for an evening drink. Treat your VIP guests to a delicious dinner at Seagar's in one of the restaurant's private dining rooms, the largest of which can accommodate up to 40 guests.
When there's no time to waste, consider hosting a "Lunch and Learn." Our catering team can put together buffet or boxed lunches for your group, conveniently served in our ballrooms or classrooms. With easy, delicious lunch options, attendees can focus on presentations and conference content while enjoying their meals.
Let your event attendees do what they came to do—make connections! Our catering team can set up a delicious breakfast or brunch at the location of your choice. Whether you're looking for a formal sit-down meal, a "speed dating" style event, or a casual buffet with high-top tables, we've got you covered.
Planning to have a featured keynote speaker to wow the crowds during a lunch presentation? No problem! With large ballrooms, we can host a luncheon for hundreds of guests and still accommodate a stage with lighting and a full AV setup. With a ballroom luncheon, guests can simultaneously enjoy a delicious meal alongside your amazing conference content.
It doesn't get more stunning than a reception on our pool deck. Aptly named, the Sunrise Deck, Barefoot’s Deck and Sunset Deck can all accommodate groups for an unforgettable dining experience. Let your guests network, dine and enjoy live musical entertainment set against the backdrop of a glistening Gulf . Beachfront dining on the deck is a fantastic way to take advantage of our beachfront location.
