Key West Gathering: Plan Your Next Meeting or Event in Paradise

Picture this: You're sipping a frosty margarita, toes in the sand, while brainstorming your company's next big idea. Sounds like a daydream, right? Not at Margaritaville Beach House Key West! Here, we've mastered the art of mixing business with pleasure, like the perfect blend of tequila and lime.

Our slice of paradise offers over 4,000 square feet of versatile event space in Key West. We've got beautiful indoor venues, breezy outdoor courtyards, a tiki hut that'll make you say "Fins up!", and a veranda that's perfect for watching the sun dip below the palms. It's all the professionalism you need, with a heavy splash of laid-back island charm.

Unique Meeting and Event Space in Key West

Think your event's too buttoned-up for our tropical oasis? Think again! We've hosted everything from serious board meetings to cozy recognition ceremonies to training sessions. It’s stimulating to attend events that offer more "fun in the sun" than "snooze in a stuffy room." Small business huddle-ups, family reunions that'll make your cousins jealous, team-building adventures that'll have everyone talking for years – we've produced it all and can’t wait to create even more memorable experiences!

Of course, once the laptops close and the presentations wrap up, that's when the real magic happens. Our fantastic amenities are designed to help you and your crew slip into that coveted Margaritaville state of mind faster than you can say "Cheeseburger in Paradise."

Want to know the best part? Our resort fee is packed with more goodies than a piñata at a beach party! We're talking free shuttle rides to the Historic Seaport Harbor (three blocks from Duval Street downtown) and the airport* (call the hotel at 305-292-9800 or shoot a text to 305-440-4694 for shuttle pick-ups and drop-offs at the KW airport), daily self-parking (sorry, no room for your yacht), and a welcome cocktail at check-in that'll have you greeting colleagues and friends with a worry-free "Aloha" and a smile!

Post-Event Activities at Margaritaville Beach House

But wait, there's more! We've got daily poolside smoothies and popsicles (brain freeze, anyone?), activities for the whole gang, and lobby refreshments to keep you fueled up for all that "intense strategizing" by the pool.

Speaking of pools, our lagoon-style oasis is open from sunrise to way past your bedtime. It's the perfect spot for those "off the record" conversations that lead to million-dollar ideas. 

And when your stomach starts growling louder than a tropical storm, our Tin Cup Chalice Bar & Chill is ready to serve up some island-inspired grub that'll make your taste buds do the rumba.

Beach access? Check. Lawn games that'll bring out everyone's competitive side? You bet. Hammocks for "contemplating company strategies" (aka napping)? We've got those too!
