Corporate Meetings

Every meeting at the White Elephant should be one part work, one part play and one part wonderful stay. Nantucket Island. Think New England seaside village with European sophistication. Just 30 miles off Cape Cod, Massachusetts, the island is easily accessible year-round by air or ferry. With its untouched beauty, vibrant history, and serenity, Nantucket is one of the world's most captivating destinations.

• Overlooking Nantucket Harbor, the Sunroom is the perfect setting for meetings of up to 28 people.
• Adjourn to the Sundeck for breakfast, lunch or evening events of up to 60 guests. Enjoy customized menus that capture the essence of the local cuisine while taking in views of the water.
• The Harborside Terrace accommodates up to 150 guests for outdoor dining and a variety of events.
• The Ivory Room, a working wine room, is ideal for meetings of up to 24 guests.

• When it comes time for relaxation, imagine an itinerary with ever-changing events and activities. Take a break and relax in the afternoon by enjoying "on-island" experiences - spa treatments at the White Elephant Spa, private charter on The Wauwinet Lady, golf, deep-sea fishing, sailing, excursions to Great Point, biking, museums, shopping, gallery browsing, and beaches.
