Overseas Retreats
Company retreats outside Singapore: destination, flights or ferries, rooms, meeting space and the programme, arranged as one trip rather than twenty bookings.
A retreat is a work trip that people are supposed to enjoy. The two parts pull against each other, so the plan has to protect both: proper meeting space with working AV for the sessions, and enough unscheduled time that people come home rested rather than wrung out.
We handle destination options against your budget and travel time, group flights or ferry bookings, rooms, transfers, meeting space, activities, meals and the day-to-day running of the trip. You approve an itinerary that shows exactly how much of the day is work.
Quotes are per person and itemised, so you can see what changes if numbers move, and our fee is shown separately from travel and accommodation costs.
Close enough to be worth it
Bintan and Batam are a ferry ride from Singapore, Johor is over the Causeway, and a short flight opens up Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia. The further you go, the more of the trip is travel rather than retreat, which matters most on a two-night programme.
Decide the work-to-play split first
Before picking a destination, settle how much of the trip is actual work: a planning day with real outputs, a half-day of sessions, or nothing but team activities. That decides whether you need a proper meeting room with AV, and it stops the retreat becoming an expensive trip with a token workshop attached.
