Group Events Coordinator

Because where else can your “office” be a white sand beach, a sunset cruise, or a bonfire under the stars? At Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort, you won’t just be planning unforgettable group experiences—you’ll be living them. Our team is all about creating magic for our guests while having just as much fun ourselves. If you're passionate about people, love the outdoors, and want to work somewhere that feels more like a lifestyle than a job, this is the place for you.
