Meeting planners seeking an island retreat destination for
conferences,
meetings and
events should consider Cowes.
The River Medina separates West and East Cowes although a floating bridge connects the two areas, and what with the famous harbour, the town is steeped in maritime heritage. With an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and stunning beaches, Cowes provides the ideal setting for adventurous land and water-based
teambuilding events and
corporate activities whilst this attractive island also boasts
historic venues with royal connections alongside more modern
conference centres including business-minded
hotels. The perfect meeting destination for
conferences, business retreats,
teambuilding events,
corporate hospitality and away days.
Cowes is easily accessible via regular ferry services from Southampton, Lymington, Portsmouth and Southsea, whilst international
conference delegates can make connections to these ferry services by flying into Southampton or Bournemouth airports.
An
unusual venue, but one which takes full advantage of Cowes reputation as a haven for yachting, is
Mamarine which provides a secluded
meeting,
conference or
teambuilding event venue on a luxury motor cruise boat. Catering for all
corporate events, delegates will undoubtedly be impressed whether at anchor or at sea!

stately home setting for any
corporate event or
wedding wanting that touch of grandeur, each
conference room offering a truly striking backdrop sure to leave delegates speechless. Cowes hotels also offer exceptional
