The Lawn at MAP Resort is the property's premier outdoor venue, offering a sprawling green canvas for grand celebrations and large-scale events. Surrounded by the resort's verdant landscaping and the natural flora of the Alibaug region, this space provides a picturesque and refreshing setting. With the capacity to comfortably accommodate 150 guests in a seated arrangement and up to 250 in a floating configuration, the lawn is perfectly suited for wedding receptions, pre-wedding festivities like sangeet and mehendi, corporate gala dinners, and milestone social gatherings. The open-air environment allows for immense creative freedom, enabling event planners to design and execute highly personalized and visually stunning events. The natural beauty of the space, especially during the golden hours of sunset, creates a magical ambiance that requires minimal enhancement, though it can be transformed with elaborate mandaps, elegant marquees, and dramatic lighting designs for evening functions.
For planners organizing a destination wedding, the Lawn is a compelling centerpiece. It offers the quintessential charm of an outdoor ceremony set against a backdrop of tropical greenery. An event can flow seamlessly across the space, with designated zones for the main ceremony, a cocktail reception, dining stations, and a dance floor. The experience for guests is immersive and memorable, as they celebrate under the open sky, enjoying the pleasant coastal breeze. The resort's in-house team can provide comprehensive support, coordinating everything from catering to basic setup, while also working with the planner's chosen vendors for specialized decor and entertainment. The proximity of the resort's 16 rooms is a significant logistical advantage, allowing the wedding party and key guests to stay on-site, ensuring convenience and a relaxed, unhurried experience throughout the festivities. The lawn embodies the romance and celebratory spirit that couples seek for their special day.
While ideal for weddings, the Lawn's versatility also extends to corporate functions. It can be an excellent choice for an evening cocktail party, an awards ceremony, or a large team-building day. Companies looking to break away from the confines of a traditional conference room can utilize this expansive outdoor area for creative workshops or informal networking events. The relaxed atmosphere encourages interaction and camaraderie in a way that an indoor venue cannot. Planners can set up themed food stalls, live music stages, and interactive game zones to create a dynamic and engaging event. The space's large footprint provides ample room for social distancing if required, and its natural ventilation is a sought-after feature. By choosing the Lawn at MAP Resort, planners can offer their clients a unique and refreshing event experience that leverages the beautiful coastal setting of Alibaug, making any occasion feel like a special retreat.
