How your retreat can go

Trusted by teams worldwide

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 organize 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 organizing 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

With over 16 years in the MICE industry, our team has the know-how to make even the most complex logistics manageable. What often looks like an effortless retreat on the outside is the result of meticulous planning and coordination behind the scenes.

Example itinerary for a 3-day company retreat

Every company is different, but here’s an example of how a team retreat itinerary could look. Mix work, bonding and downtime to make the most of your days together.

Day 1

Arrive & Connect

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

Day 2

Business Focus & Team Dinner

Start the day with a focused workshop or strategy discussion, then balance it with an activity that gets people moving and talking. End the evening with a shared dinner at a local restaurant.

Day 3

Adventure & Bonding

The last full day is all about shared experiences. It could be exploring a new city, spending time in nature, or joining in a fun team activity — whatever brings people together outside the usual routine.

Day 4

Breakfast & Departure

Start the morning with a relaxed breakfast, reflect on retreat highlights, capture a group photo, and say your goodbyes before heading home recharged.

NextRetreat pulled out all the stops to give us, once again, the most amazing company off-site — this time in Majorca. This was our third five-day off-site with them, and every single time the standard has been nothing short of exceptional. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you for always delivering such unforgettable experiences!

Julia Poppius HR Manager, Neural DSP Technologies

We had an amazing week—the resort was fantastic, the dinners a success and the dunes an unforgettable experience. NextRetreat’s team made everything seamless and professional, and we’re already looking forward to planning our next trip with them.

Louisa Alonso Head of People Operations, Gatekeeper

Our company meetup in Dubrovnik was a fantastic experience, with excellent feedback from everyone. The venue was spectacular and NextRetreat’s precise coordination across accommodation, workshops and social events made the event a true success.
