As planners continue to seek environments that inspire connection and creativity, the Southeast U.S. is delivering settings where the outdoors play a central role. From beachside resorts and riverfront hotels to urban properties with seamless indoor-outdoor flow, these 10 destinations offer more than meeting space - they offer atmosphere.

For corporate retreats that blend high-impact experiences with the outdoors, the brand-new Lunara Bay in Key West fits the bill. Composed of 26 four-to-eight bedroom luxury homes and created specifically for groups, Lunara is ideal for a multi-home buyout with capacity for up to 280 overnight guests.
