Ken Weary

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!!”

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.”
Vladimira Teskova
COO, TeskaLabs
“During the week we completed a project that would have taken three months. On top of that, we still found time to rest and had plenty of fun too! Quite simply, I have never experienced such efficient teamwork in my life. We recommend NextRetreat and will definitely come back!”

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 took some time out as a team to celebrate Eradigm’s achievements to date & think about what the future might hold. NextRetreat helped us organising an amazing team retreat. Our Black-Tie dinner was a success, the venue was super nice, and we enjoyed the special atmosphere as well as the tasty food. The photographer joined us at the dinner, and he was super funny and nice, of course the team photos were stunning. Everything went very well, the team felt spoiled & motivated. Time to think about 2020!”

“We stayed at the NextRetreat villa for a week. The place is beautiful and has everything a team needs to be productive. The host, Iria, was extremely helpful and made sure we didn’t have to focus on anything else than to be productive. She even picked up pizza for us one of the evenings when we were busy!”

“This place is fantastic. Really practical for a large group, everyone has their own space if they need it. The views are fabulous, every room and terrace has a view to the Atlantic with an amazing sunset every evening to look forward to. Our host Iria was an absolute diamond, nothing was too much trouble. Taxis are good and cheap, if you can at least one of you have a car for shopping etc. I would definitely come back to this villa, miss it already.”
