Elite Overview
From the editors of Elite Meetings
Seascape Beach Resort wraps the comforts of home, the luxuries of a four-diamond hotel, and the advantages of first-class conference facilities into one on a seaside bluff in Aptos, California. With its panoramic views of Monterey Bay, the prime locale promotes fresh, creative thought for visionary meetings. Proximity to Silicon Valley makes it a favorite for some of the world’s leading tech companies.
Most of the conference center’s rooms feature sweeping bay views, and all employ the latest technology paired with dedicated staff support. Team-building often draws on resources such as the beach, the Seascape Sports Club’s tennis courts and fitness center, and championship play at the Seascape Golf Club. Partnerships with local team-building experts afford anything from sailboat races to ropes-course challenges to sandcastle contests on the beach.
Epicurean room service and catering benefit from the talent at Sanderlings, the resort’s award-winning restaurant, which serves seasonal cuisine based on the freshest local, organic produce, seafood, meats, and pastas. Palapas, another dining option across the street at Seascape Village, features authentic Mexican dishes prepared a la cocina fresca.
At day’s end, guests retreat to the property’s 225 suites and villas. Most, like the meeting rooms, provide panoramic views of the ocean. All provide full kitchen and washer-dryer facilities, fireplaces, and decks or patios for the private enjoyment of outdoor life by the sea.

I've used Seascape over the years for clients who want a personal experience for their meeting. Many of the staff have been there for years and operate a lot like a family. However, the last time I was there, the timeshare condos were in need of refreshing. The physical plant of the facility is well-maintained, but the guest quarters are dated. Beach access is a high draw, and the hotel is able to support with F&B, simple decor and lighting. Overall, we had a fantastic offsite.

Luxury Monterey Bay Resort Unveils Dramatic Upgrades

Luxury Monterey Bay Resort Unveils Dramatic Upgrades
APTOS, Calif., October 1, 2014 – Seascape Beach Resort, recognized as one of the premier coastal conference centers in California, unveiled dramatic upgrades to the resort lobby, front desk, 17,000-square-feet of conference space, and Sanderlings Restaurant and Lounge. The seven-month, $1.5-million refurbishment transformed the resort’s atmosphere with casually elegant styling.
Reclaimed, wine-barrel wood was handcrafted into a custom front desk and a 100-year-old, local elm tree was used in the construction lobby tables. Janene Bourgerie Cayton’s design studio oversaw the upscale lobby and front desk plans, while local artist Sam Schnaible designed and created the custom pieces.
As part of the resort’s upgrades, the 15 conference and banquet rooms, with spectacular ocean views, received floor to ceiling upgrades along with new ergonomic chairs and efficient break stations and capacities for every meeting configuration.
The award-winning Sanderlings Restaurant and Lounge also feature new wood tables, wood floors and a custom, reclaimed elm-tree wood bar in the lounge for a stunning first impression for that much-deserved beverage after a long, productive day.
“It is really a dramatic change for us,” said Jim Maggio, General Manager at Seascape Beach Resort. “Plus, the project represents a great way to reuse materials.”
Seascape Beach Resort opened in 1993 and today offers 285 spacious deluxe suites and one and two bedroom beach villas with fully equipped kitchens or kitchenettes, fireplaces and private balconies with dramatic breathtaking views of the majestic Monterey Bay. In addition to all the comforts of home, this Four-Diamond resort’s 17 miles of secluded beachfront property spans the entire resort and provides a myriad of options for groups to hold team-building programs, themed events and beach parties.
“Our repeat leisure guests and corporate groups are the foundation of our resort,” Maggio said, “and I’m sure they will do a double-take with our new look, especially as they enter the new lobby.”
