Salishan Lodge & Golf Resort

Celebrating more than 50 years as the largest, most luxurious resort on the rugged Oregon coast, Salishan Spa & Golf Resort introduces groups to the beauty of Gleneden Beach. Like the Scottish-style golf links in the foreground, everything merges visually with a land shaped by wind and sea. The latest multimillion-dollar update, completed in 2016, complements the original Pacific Northwest architecture crafted from locally sourced woods, stone, and an abundance of natural light—all exuding a timeless sense of harmony with the 750 acres of nature preserve outside.

Guests come first to commune with nature, but also for the championship golf, tennis, spa, and hospitality of a first-class luxury hotel. All 205 newly renovated guest rooms and suites come with fireplaces, private balconies or terraces, and inspirational views of land and sea. Groups convene in more than 16,000 square feet of event space, eight rooms ranging from the versatile Long House Ballroom for 350 people to the Board Room for 20. Backed by the latest in audiovisual support, business takes place free from distractions—until distractions are called for. A new 27,000-square-foot event lawn and two fire pits offer groups scenic alfresco options as well.

Then the incentives range from beachcombing and bonfires along Siletz Bay to hiking on miles of old-growth forest trails and wining and dining at four food and beverage outlets. Delegates invariably go home relaxed, refreshed, and back in harmony with themselves and the rest of the world.
