Texas’ best beach, South Padre Island, is a popular destination for travelers seeking a tropical getaway. Meeting planners love South Padre Island’s setting and accommodations for events of all sizes. They also appreciate the island’s tropical backdrop, as it lures attendees excited to hit the beach while learning, networking, and growing their organizations.
South Padre Island is a natural learning environment with group-friendly tours and activities, offering attendees the opportunity to explore our waters, view bottlenose dolphins, interact with sea turtles, and learn about native birds and rare butterflies. Popular tours include horseback riding, where groups can enjoy unparalleled views of the Laguna Madre Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.
Our tropical backdrop leaves no room for boredom in the boardroom. South Padre Island offers ideal venues with meeting space, delicious island catering, and rooms equipped with state-of-the-art options. A walkable boardwalk at the SPI Convention Center and easy access to the Island Metro (a free shuttle with daily service) make getting to and from team-building activities, lunch, or meetings a breeze!
A new venue is coming to South Padre Island. The famous Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville will open its doors in 2023. Meeting planners can find a place to stay, eat, and network all in one place. This new hotel will offer 8,500 sq ft of flexible event space, onsite catering, and a dedicated event team.
