Ken Weary
VP of Operations, Hotjar

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

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, at GraphCMS, had our company retreat in Gran Canaria recently, and it was an amazing experience as we got to meet a lot of our team mates for the first time in person. We are a remote-first company with people working from about 17 countries. It was a great experience organizing this event with NextRetreat!”

“I have to say, from my side the meetup was an absolute success! I have no words to express my gratitude for how well you planned the whole meetup, often with little or confusing directions from my side, I am really impressed. In general, here at Hotjar we have had only positive experiences so far working with NextRetreat and I hope we can still do it for a long time.”

We recommend NextRetreat especially for teams, which work remotely. This retreat helped us to know more each other, see beautiful island & discuss our future plans in company.

“We spent a week in this small paradise, mostly working but also having a lot of fun. NextRetreat venue was located close to some beautiful beaches. Palm garden with a BBQ place and a pool make you feel like on vacation even when working hard. :) Staff is always happy to help and priceless guide. Don’t hesitate to let them arrange some extra activities – they are really awesome.”
