About Desert-Style Locations

Desert-style locations can be ideal places to host a variety of events. Such locales are characterized by vast, open expanses of sand, rock, cacti, and the occasional oasis or mesa. The best desert-style locations offer spectacular views, perfect for outdoor activities such as picnics and barbecues. Moreover, some venues feature unique amenities, such as swimming pools with water slides or hot tubs filled with minerals and salt from nearby mineral springs. Guests will also appreciate the expansive night sky, with its shimmering stars providing a romantic backdrop for any event.

For corporate events or conferences, desert-style locations often provide large tents for shade, generators, and air conditioning to keep guests cool in the blazing sun. The surrounding landscape gives attendees plenty of opportunities to engage in team-building activities, such as hiking trails and rappelling courses through dramatic canyons and hillsides. There’s also a nice contrast between day activities where one might play golf on a sprawling course set against the sandy horizon and then relax around an evening campfire under starry skies after the sun sets.

These venues offer plenty of rustic charm for weddings, celebrations, and other gatherings while providing modern amenities such as catering services that can manage even the most elaborate wedding receptions or dinners. Onsite staff members are usually available during events to assist with setup and breakdown procedures so that all guests have everything they need to enjoy a memorable occasion in nature’s playground.

The Best Events for Desert-Style Locations

  • Barbeque Nights
    A barbeque night in the desert is perfect for celebrating special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and other milestones. An outdoor barbeque in a stretch of desert land surrounded by dunes and mountains offers a stunning setting for an enjoyable evening. Guests can indulge in delicious grilled foods while enjoying mesmerizing sunsets and star-filled skies. People could play traditional instruments or line dance out under the stars for entertainment.
  • Camping Trips
    What better way to explore an exquisite desert location than by setting up camp? Hosts could arrange tents, sleeping bags, flashlights, and other camping essentials if necessary so guests can go off on their mini adventure into the wild outdoors. During the day, visitors can try mountain biking or dune boarding for some added thrill before settling down around a campfire at night, where they can sing songs, swap stories from their travels and roast marshmallows as they take in all that nature offers.
  • Corporate Events
    Desert-style locations can be the perfect setting for a corporate event, providing a relaxed and unique atmosphere. Activities could include team-building exercises, yoga classes, or a themed networking cocktail party. To make it more exciting, you can set up some props and furniture, such as custom-made Arabian couches, lanterns with candles, and low-hanging desert plants. You could also invite street food vendors to serve authentic dishes representing the region's culture.
  • Weddings
    Couples who are looking for an out-of-the-ordinary wedding venue should consider desert-style locations. To create a festive ambiance, they can set up an outdoor ceremony under the stars with plenty of fairy lights, canopy tents, vintage rugs, and pillows. For their reception area, they can add Moroccan-style décor pieces like colorful carpets, archways decorated with flowers, and an oasis pool to provide a truly remarkable experience for their guests. Not to mention food and drinks that embody the culture and flavors of the desert, such as tagines, couscous dishes, and mint tea.

What to Look for in Desert-Style Locations

  • Temperature
    When selecting a desert-style location, it is vital to check the temperature. In most desert locations, temperatures range from hot during the day to cool at night. It is important that your guests can enjoy the party without feeling uncomfortable due to extreme temperatures. Pick a place with temperate weather conditions and a comfortable atmosphere.
  • Amenities
    Depending on the type of event you are hosting, amenities may be an essential factor when selecting a desert-style location. Research places with adequate restrooms, seating areas, food service, and entertainment options. Having these features on-site will make it easier for your attendees to relax and enjoy the event without worrying about basic needs being met.
  • Accessibility
    If your event requires attendees from different parts of the world or country, accessibility should be considered when selecting a desert-style location for your future event. Make sure plenty of transportation options are available so guests can easily reach the venue regardless of their mode of transportation preferences.
  • Nature/Wildlife
    Book a site surrounded by natural beauty or wildlife habitat, adding uniqueness and authenticity to your celebration. Choose between spots with dunes, rock formations, natural pools, or waterfalls according to what you envision for your event. There are endless possibilities for desert-style locations. But remember safety and respect for the environment, as this is a fragile ecosystem that needs to be protected.

How to Make Desert-Style Events Better

  • Plan Ahead: Ensure you give yourself enough time to plan the event. Account for the desert locations' unique characteristics in your planning process. Ensure you check the availability of amenities such as utilities and restrooms, access to food and drinks, shelter from temperatures and sun, and a plan for any potential dust or wind storms.

  • Choose Your Venue Carefully: When selecting a venue in a desert location, make sure it is large enough to accommodate your guests, provides enough shade and protection from the elements, is easily accessible by foot or car, and has plenty of parking. Additionally, some locations may require special permits or paperwork ahead of time, so check in with local authorities before booking.

  • Prepare for Extreme Temperatures: Desert location climates can experience extreme temperatures throughout the year, both hot and cold, so adequate preparations must be made to maintain everyone’s comfort level. Provide water stations throughout the space for guests to stay hydrated, have fans on hand during hot days, provide heated seats or blankets if necessary, have umbrellas at the ready in case of rain, and make sure tents are adequately ventilated if they will be used as shelter from intense sun exposure.

  • Add Local Elements: Local touches like cacti-lined pathways, Arizona agave candle holders, or Navajo rugs can elevate an event's atmosphere while honoring its surrounding environment. Utilizing native plants like sagebrush or creosote bush can also provide natural aromatherapy benefits while setting a unique mood within a space.

  • Get Creative With Food And Drinks: Incorporate regional flavors into your menus, such as prickly pear margaritas or smoked cactus salads. Also, consider setting up grills outside for cooking dishes like chili verde tacos or barbacoa sandwiches. Not only does this create an inviting aroma, but it also adds an interactive element that gets everyone involved in their dining experience.
