Corporate retreats

A retreat succeeds when even the hours without an agenda item are planned.

A corporate retreat is not a meeting that happens to have a pool next to it. It needs concentrated work and, just as much, distance from the day-to-day. Many programmes are timed so tightly that nothing is left for exactly that: for the pauses in which a topic settles, and for the conversations that appear in no schedule.

We plan retreats so that decisions become possible. The most important item may be a walk between two sessions or a dinner without an agenda; such moments look casual, yet they are prepared. And because a retreat lives on its in-between spaces, when in doubt we would rather cut an agenda item and lengthen a pause.

How we work

First we clarify the working agenda and what lies beneath it: relationships in the team, unresolved tensions, upcoming transitions and decisions. Then we find the place and build the rhythm out of a few clear working sessions, shared meals and time outdoors, held together by good facilitation. Hiking, time by the sea, bodywork or cooking together only enter the programme if they serve the goal.

Where this happens

Frequently asked questions

What makes a corporate retreat different from a company offsite?
An offsite is, first of all, a working appointment in another place. A retreat demands both work and distance: between the sessions there has to be time in which a topic can settle, over a shared meal or a few hours outdoors.
How do you plan an executive retreat?
We first clarify what the leadership team wants to work on and what lies beneath the agenda, say an open tension or a decision that is due. Place and rhythm of the days follow from that. Which further elements enter the programme is decided by the goal of the retreat alone.
Which island suits a retreat that needs as much quiet as possible?
The most quiet is found on Menorca. Work also goes well on Gozo, which for retreats we prefer to Malta's main island, and on Formentera, Ibiza's stiller neighbour.
How quickly do we get an offer for our retreat?
You receive our offer within 24 to 48 hours. It helps if your enquiry already says what the retreat is meant to achieve and which decisions are due; we align place and programme to that.
Can a company retreat be organised sustainably?
Yes. LifeXperiences is Travelife-certified and supports Cleanwave and 1% for the Mediterranean; catering is plastic-free and built on regional produce. That applies company-wide, and so to every retreat.
