Descanso Beach Club Venue
A World-Class Beachside Venue
Descanso Beach Club is one of the most stunning outdoor meeting and event venues in the world. Aside from 10 acres of soft white sand and gorgeous green grass, it offers many amenities that can turn this popular spot for sunbathing into a relaxed site for corporate retreats and meetings. As a private beach club, guests can enjoy a cocktail right on the sand and throughout the facility.
Whether you envision a private meeting beside the ocean or group dining on the beach under the stars, Descanso Beach Club can cater to your every need. The expansive terraced lawn and Avalon's only seaside restaurant and bar can accommodate any size party. Descanso is also home to Catalina's top-rated Zip Line Eco Tour, the challenging Catalina Aerial Adventure, and a host of water activities.
Cabana & Chaise Lounge Chairs
Descanso Beach Club features Presidential Cabanas, Signature Cabanas and spread out Chaise Lounges in a private area featuring soft sand and amazing ocean views. Individual rentals are available, and the entire area can be reserved for private parties. Adjacent to the Cabana and Chaise Lounge area are two oceanfront fire rings, perfect for evening dinners or meetings. Available year-round.
Catherine's Terrace
Catherine's Terrace features a large living room with massive fireplace and a wall of windows that opens to a terrace overlooking the ocean, making it one of Catalina's favorite venues for corporate meetings, social events, and weddings. Indoor seating in the ballroom can be arranged for intimate groups of 20 guests or larger groups of up to 200.
