A one-of-a-kind destination for meetings, retreats, weddings, and celebrations, we offer a mix of indoor and outdoor spaces for 10 to 250 guests, plus full property buyouts for a truly private island experience. Whether hosting a board meeting, corporate offsite, or milestone celebration, every gathering is shaped by the island’s natural beauty. Here, the vibrancy of New York meets the tranquility of nature—creating events that feel a world away, yet only minutes from Manhattan.
