Retreats for bigger teams require a different approach
Bringing together hundreds of team members offers a powerful moment to align, strengthen culture and create momentum that carries back into daily work. But scale adds complexity: accommodation, catering, meeting spaces and activities all need to be managed thoroughly and with attention to detail.
With NextRetreat, everything is coordinated in one place by our retreat specialists so you can relax, knowing the hard work is off your shoulders.

Case study
Planning a 300+ Person Company Retreat in Morocco
Participants: 300+ employees from around the world
Location: Palmeraie, 15 min drive north of Marrakech
Duration of Planning: 10+ months
Background & objectives
The client approached us with a new challenge: to organise their first-ever full company meet-up for over 300 employees. Having supported them on multiple smaller retreats of up to 172 participants, we were ready to scale the experience to a much larger group.
This was their testimonial for one of our past retreats:
Main goals
The main goals were:
- Unite employees from around the world in one place for the first time.
- Strengthen team bonds and foster camaraderie.
- Share and align on the company’s vision for the future.
With attendees flying in from multiple continents, the retreat needed to be accessible, logistically sound, and planned with precision.
Our company, saas.group had its annual retreat and this year it was held in Barcelona, Spain. To be honest, this was by far the biggest event I had the privilege of organising and it would not have been as successful if not for the relentless support provided by our excellent Retreat provider, NextRetreat with of course a special shoutout to my retreat specialist Nadia Dzurovcinova. Everything we have planned (for months!) went exactly how we imagined, or perhaps even better!”
Early planning
We began preparations a year in advance, which is the ideal timeline for events of this scale.
- Find and secure an exceptional venue with multiple meeting rooms and versatile spaces.
- Arrange top-tier leisure activities with trusted local providers.
- Ensure catering options accommodate diverse dietary needs and tastes.
- Build contingency plans for travel, weather, and schedule changes.
Why Morocco?
Marrakech offered the perfect blend of accessibility, infrastructure, and facilities:
- Well-connected international flights.
- Warm climate and unique landscapes.
- World-class hospitality and infrastructure for large-scale groups.
Technology & logistics
With events of this size, collecting and managing attendee information is critical: room allocations, flight details, dietary requirements, sleeping and activity preferences, and syncing communication with the client.
We used our proprietary NextRetreat app, which streamlined:
- Gathering all administrative details from attendees.
- Communication between client and our retreat specialists.
- Managing logistics across multiple time zones.
- Coordinating schedules and resources in real time.
- Sharing updates with all attendees.
Results
- Smooth coordination for 300+ participants from multiple countries.
- Employees leaving inspired and connected.
- Excellent feedback on the venue, catering, and balance of work and leisure.
The retreat not only met but exceeded the client’s objectives—creating lasting memories while setting the tone for future growth.
Experience that matters

Arrive & Connect
Check-in, welcome drinks and an informal dinner designed to help everyone relax and start connecting.
