Host Your South Florida Holiday Party in Paradise
Holiday parties deserve more than another night in a conference room. In South Florida, the season comes with ocean breezes, palm trees and the opportunity to celebrate outdoors — which means your company holiday party or reunion can feel a little more like an escape.
For groups looking for a South Florida holiday party venue, Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort brings the celebration directly to the ocean with flexible indoor and outdoor event spaces, resort accommodations, dining and a dedicated team to help bring it all together.
Whether you're planning an end-of-year company celebration, employee appreciation event, corporate gathering or long-awaited reunion, paradise makes a pretty memorable backdrop.

A Beachfront Setting That Feels Like a Celebration
Location sets the tone before the first guest even arrives.
Situated directly on Hollywood Beach between Fort Lauderdale and Miami, Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort replaces the traditional event-space experience with Atlantic Ocean views and a relaxed coastal atmosphere.
For corporate groups, that means you can still create an event that feels polished and professional without making your team feel like they're attending another business function.
For reunions, hosting the celebration at a beachfront resort gives everyone a destination to enjoy before and after the main event.
This is the holiday season, South Florida style.
Indoor and Outdoor Holiday Party Venues
One of the biggest advantages of planning a holiday celebration in South Florida is being able to take advantage of the outdoors without giving up the comfort and flexibility of indoor event space.
At Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort, groups can choose from more than 30,000 square feet of flexible indoor and outdoor event space.
Compass Rose Ballroom
For larger corporate holiday parties, formal dinners, award celebrations and galas, the 10,000-square-foot Compass Rose Ballroom provides an expansive indoor setting that can be divided into four sections.
The full ballroom can accommodate up to 850 guests for banquet-style events.
Oceanfront Pre-Function Space
The resort's 8,800 square feet of pre-function space features floor-to-ceiling windows and Atlantic Ocean views.
It's an inviting setting for cocktail receptions, networking and gathering before the celebration moves into the ballroom.
License to Chill Rooftop Terrace
Want to take the party outside?
The 7,000-square-foot License to Chill Rooftop Terrace overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and offers a distinctly South Florida setting for outdoor receptions and dinners.
An oceanfront rooftop celebration in December beats scraping ice off the windshield.
From Corporate Holiday Parties to Reunions
No two groups celebrate the end of the year exactly the same way.
- Company holiday parties
- Employee appreciation events
- Corporate dinners and receptions
- End-of-year celebrations
- Award ceremonies
- Client and partner events
- Family reunions
- Alumni and group reunions
- Private dinners
- Cocktail parties
Smaller groups can explore private dining and restaurant venues throughout the resort, while larger celebrations can take advantage of the property's ballroom and flexible event spaces.
The idea is simple: find the space that fits the group instead of forcing the group to fit the space.
Food, Drinks and a Celebration Built Around Your Group
A great holiday party isn't just about where everyone sits.
Food, cocktails, service and the flow of the evening all shape the experience. Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort's culinary and event teams can help create customizable menus and event experiences suited to the style and scope of your gathering.
That can mean a polished banquet, a festive cocktail reception, a relaxed waterfront dinner or a celebration that moves between different spaces throughout the evening.
For planners, having event venues, dining and professional event support together at one resort can also help simplify the logistics of bringing everything together.
Make It More Than a Holiday Party
For guests traveling from elsewhere in Florida — or flying into South Florida — a resort celebration can become more than a few hours together.
Guests can stay on property, spend time on Hollywood Beach, explore the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk, enjoy the resort's restaurants and bars, or simply extend the celebration with some time in paradise.
That can be especially valuable for corporate groups and reunions where attendees may be coming from different cities.
Instead of everyone heading home immediately after the party, your holiday event can become an experience people actually get to enjoy together.
A Convenient South Florida Location
Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort offers a beachfront location in Hollywood, Florida, with convenient access to the greater Fort Lauderdale, Broward County and Miami areas.
That makes the resort an option for companies and groups searching throughout South Florida — whether your attendees are local or traveling in for the occasion.
And once guests arrive, the beach, accommodations, dining and celebration are all in one destination.
What Should You Look for in a South Florida Holiday Party Venue?
Can the venue accommodate your group size and event format? Look for spaces that can adapt to seated dinners, cocktail receptions, presentations, entertainment and dancing.
Are both indoor and outdoor options available? South Florida weather is part of the appeal. A venue that offers both gives planners more creative possibilities.
Can guests stay on property? On-site accommodations can make a major difference for attendees traveling from outside the area.
Are catering and event planning available? Bringing the major pieces of the event together through one team can simplify planning.
Does the location feel special? Your holiday party is a chance to celebrate what your company or group accomplished together. The setting should feel different from an ordinary day.
