What Makes a Great Corporate Retreat Location?
It’s not just the venue—it’s how it serves the team.
A good retreat setting should:
• Be easy to access (ideally < 2 hours from HQ)
• Feel emotionally distinct from the office
• Offer versatile spaces for both deep work and downtime
• Support team building and meaningful connection
• Allow for full takeover, so your team can truly settle in
Every Elsewhere location has only become a partner venue for its ability to host offsites that matter- not just meetings that move.
