Johannes Koeppel

CEO, WeTravel

“NextRetreat is amazing to help research and plan company retreats. As a Remote-First company, WeTravel organizes a large all-hands retreat each year and with our fast growth, we now also have smaller team-specific retreats. NextRetreat's automated platform saves us tons of time in destination-finding and planning!!”

How we balanced work & leisure

“I have noticed an immediate increase in our productivity and we became much more effective and connected during those 2 weeks.”

Interview with a tech CEO

“I have never experienced such efficient teamwork in my life.”

Bringing together our remote team

“As a remote team, we moved our internal co-operation, communication & business goal setting to the next level. It was a meaningful and highly efficient time.”

Daniel Sedgwick

Engagement manager, acelr8

“Using the location finder tool was so helpful for us to work out the best location for our 3 offices to meet, the NextRetreat team was then with us every step of the way. They found us the perfect accommodation for our team and then helped to cater for everything we needed on this trip. The team was so easy to work with, I would 100% recommend working with them”

Sarah McChesney-Gordon

Client Services Director, Fresh 8 Gaming

“The Fresh8 team had a fantastic team-building & hackathon trip at the NextRetreat venue. They went over and above with her organisation before the trip and during, allowing the team to enjoy a relaxed work and leisure trip. Having the space and time together led to an extremely successful first company hackathon – something we wouldn’t have achieved back in London!”

A little more love

"We decided to recruit a partner for offsite planning so that we could focus on internal coordination and delivering a great offsite experience to our team. Opting for NextRetreat's concierge service proved to be a wise decision as we were able to leverage their extensive industry knowledge and supplier relationships. Our retreat specialist, Nada, tackled every challenge with ease, good humor, and top notch communication. Our team had a blast at our offsite and we look forward to the next one!"

"I was assigned to organise the company retreat for our company: an 18-people team, located in different countries of Europe + USA. Finding a location that was easily accessible from all departure cities, as well as hotels with enough room availability and a meeting room was no easy task. That’s why I decided to get the NextRetreat package and I couldn’t be happier. This took a lot of hours of work off my back. I was able to research various destinations easily with all information in one platform. Having a dedicated contact person was also great, Inna was super helpful and easily approachable, quickly answering my emails, handling all communications and bookings with the hotel. I would without a doubt recommend NextRetreat to any company or manager looking to organise a company trip. It just makes the whole planning much easier."

"We had an amazing week!! I can't thank you enough for everything. Resort was amazing, everyone loved it! All dinners were 100% success. Dunes were a breathtaking experience. Wine lovers loved the wine tasting. We have already started planning a bit next year.. Portugal in September would be amazing. Once again, thank you and your team! You did an amazing job. You all are so pro's in NextRetreat and for sure I plan the next trip with NextRetreat as well."

“I would definitely use Next Retreat again! We needed to make this meetup extra special as it was our 10 year anniversary and that's exactly what they delivered. Communication was seamless, they listened to what I wanted and stuck to the budget. The whole team had a great time and were already excited about the next one. Retreat Specialist Inna went out of her way to ensure everything was perfect and it was!”
