The Retreat Sarasota

The Retreat Sarasota is an all-new, one-of-a-kind meetings and special events space in the heart of Southwest Florida. Located just minutes away from downtown Sarasota and easily accessible by three international airports, The Retreat’s picture-perfect setting on 84 acres of conservation land has quickly made the venue a premier choice for gatherings and events of all occasions and sizes. Best of all, rental proceeds directly benefit Resilient Retreat, an innovative non-profit dedicated to empowering people on their healing journeys through free, confidential, holistic programming. As the "venue that saves lives", The Retreat Sarasota is the natural choice, not only a memorable event but also for taking care of our community. The Retreat Center features a best-in-class, commercial-grade catering kitchen, overnight accommodations for up to 30 guests, an inviting arrival area, an open great room and a cozy dining room with seating for up to 40, a fireplace and al fresco dining.

The Community Center boasts beautiful outdoor patios, indoor seating for up to 130 guests, a satellite kitchen and two breakout rooms that can accommodate up to 25 attendees each.

Outdoor options include a community garden, a tranquil reflection pond and an intimate gazebo, ideal for weddings, vow renewals and more.

Audio-visual technology, including Wi-Fi, is available in our two buildings. Private chefs and other add-on amenities are also available upon request.

Surrounded by vast, verdant fields, towering oak hammocks and abundant wildlife, The Retreat and Community Centers have been designed to bring the natural beauty of the outdoors in, while honoring and respecting the local environment and utilizing sustainable resources.
