Spanning 2,400 acres between the Gulf of Mexico and the Choctawhatchee Bay, the resort features stunning sugar-white beaches, emerald-green waters, and an unmatched variety of recreational amenities — including four championship golf courses, 15 world-class tennis courts, 4 swimming pools, a 123-slip marina, fitness center, and full-service spa. At the heart of it all lies The Village of Baytowne Wharf, a vibrant 26-acre pedestrian village filled with boutique shopping, local dining, and lively nightlife. With over 65,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space, Sandestin can host everything from intimate executive gatherings to large-scale conferences of up to 1,600 guests.

The Linkside Conference Center has recently undergone a multi-million-dollar transformation, while the Baytowne Conference Center continues to evolve to meet the needs of today’s planners. Adding to Sandestin’s versatility is the luxury Hotel Effie Sandestin, Autograph Collection — a 250-room full-service hotel located adjacent to the Baytowne Conference Center. Hotel Effie offers 20,000 square feet of additional meeting space, including a 13,000-square-foot grand ballroom, seamlessly connecting to the conference center for effortless event flow.

Here’s What You Get: • 🎸 Live Music that kicks like a drum solo at Wembley • 🎤 Storytelling that hits the heart (and the funny bone) • 🎶 3-Part Harmony Choir — no singing skills required, just good vibes • 🤘 Audience Improv — spontaneous, unforgettable, and never awkward • 📝 Custom Song Creation that ties your event together with a chorus your team will hum all the way home Perfect for: • 🚀 Launching big ideas • 🔋 Energizing the middle of a long agenda • 🎉 Ending on a high that actually gets remembered We’ve done this with 10 people. We’ve done it with 2,500. Either way, we bring the same stadium-worthy energy. We’re fronted by Grammy-nominated INXS frontman Ciaran Gribbin, backed by world-class musicians, and powered by pure rock ‘n roll spirit. This isn’t “team building.” It’s a shared experience that gives your people goosebumps, grins, and genuine connection. Ready to shake things up? Let’s talk. "Best Team Building I've ever booked.
