Sayeman Beach Resort hosts conferences, banquets, weddings, birthday parties and board meetings, with Marina Hall seating up to 500 theatre-style and four smaller rooms for groups of 20 to 30 and sea-view receptions. The resort stands on Marine Drive Road at Kolatoli in Cox's Bazar, on the beachfront in southeastern Bangladesh.
Seminars and company events
Marina Hall, the ballroom, is the main space for conferences and incentive events, with 4,338 sq ft that take up to 500 people theatre-style or 450 at a banquet. For smaller groups, Tides Meeting Room seats 31 in a boardroom setup and Waves Meeting Room 21, both with multimedia equipment and a projector. These two rooms suit board meetings, training sessions and strategy workshops. The Verandah, a sea-facing room of 1,500 sq ft, works for small conferences, private dinners and receptions, and Carnival Hall adds a banquet hall with a sea view and an open deck. A company can therefore run a plenary in Marina Hall and breakouts in the meeting rooms on the same day.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are one of the event types the resort sells, alongside birthdays and receptions. Marina Hall takes banquets of up to 450, and Carnival Hall, with its sea view and open deck, gives a lighter setting for a mehndi, a reception or an evening party. The site does not publish wedding packages or capacities for Carnival Hall, so ask the events team.

History and setting
Sayeman was built in 1964 and describes itself as the first private hotel in Cox's Bazar. It has since reopened at a new beachfront site on Marine Drive. The resort has an infinity pool with a sea view, the Aqua Spa, a fitness center, a garden and kids zone and water sports, which gives delegates options outside sessions.
Getting there
The resort is on Marine Drive Road at Kolatoli, along the Cox's Bazar seafront. Groups usually fly into Cox's Bazar from Dhaka, where the resort also keeps an office for event planning and bookings.
