Luxury Retreats to Refocus

• A corporate retreat can serve as a way for remote companies to come together in person and for regular companies to take a break from the office and spend quality time together.
• It allows employees to bond and connect with their co-workers in different settings.
• They allow employees to get together in a chosen destination outside the office for some days to have different activities, ranging from fun activities to productive sessions.
• The fun activities provide a team-bonding experience, while the productive sessions allow employers to clarify company culture, company goals/ missions, and employee roles.
• Corporate team-building retreats are very popular today amongst forward-thinking companies.
• These retreats have risen in popularity since a lot of people are working from home.
• Corporate retreats were traditionally seen as events reserved for upper management, where they go to extravagant places and spend the company’s money lavishly.
• However, corporate retreats have now shed that image of wasteful extravagance.
• They are now events that bring the entire staff to an offsite location for business and fun.
• Many employers plan corporate events to inject a dose of camaraderie, boost employee morale, clarify the company mission, improve company culture, etc.

• Choosing a private villa in Isla Mujeres over a large Cancun resort for your company retreat is like unlocking a whole new level of tailored comfort and team bonding.
• The privacy of an exclusive villa, away from the usual resort crowds.
• Isla Mujeres is only 5 miles long, so the island is basically the size of a resort.
• It is very safe. I have lived on the island for 13 years and I will here with you for anything you need.
• We are all about personalization, making your experience uniquely yours, skipping the generic resort vibes here.
• Plus, you’re not just following the usual retreat routine; we’re creating your own.
• We can customize the itinerary to be the perfect mix of work time, brainstorming, team-building, fun activities, time on your own to explore and downtime.
• So, it’s not just a retreat; it’s your team’s retreat, designed to be exactly what you need it to be.

• We work with teams between 5 – 20 people. 
• The properties on the island that we work with are anywhere from 3 bedroom to 12 bedrooms and we have the option of renting multiple villas for larger groups.
• Typically, companies that we work with are generating revenues of approximately seven figures. 

• Through my expertise and global connections, I free you up to do other things while I get busy spending hours of research, planning and performing due diligence on your behalf.
• When there are hiccups, and there will be, I am there ready to refocus and solve the issue so you don’t get sucked in to the drama.
• I have a guy. My network is established with my 13 years on the island of Isla Mujeres working in hospitality.
• My husband is local and from the island with a plethora of connections.
• I have a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership and extensive experience leading teams to analyze current practices and set goals and outcomes.
• My background in learning and brain research gives me advanced knowledge of structuring meetings, workshops and activities to optimize the time to meet the goals.
• As an entrepreneur, I have multiple businesses and have experience establishing strategic planning and implementing it while building my companies culture.

• Having a company retreat agenda informs everybody when they need to be where.
• This is obviously key for the timely execution of any meetings or team-building pursuits.
• With creative elements infused into the templates, such as motivational talks, learning and development workshops, interactive activities, team-building exercises, and strategic planning sessions, these agenda templates foster innovation, collaboration, and employee engagement.
• An agenda allows attendees time to prepare in advance for any seminars or workshops.
• An agenda clarifies the goals of the retreat, setting expectations and giving people a window into the kinds of themes that are going to be in focus.

• We work hard to pull from our network which allows us more flexibility to stay within your budget.

• Planning fees are based on many factors which allows us to adjust here and there to ensure we stay within your budget.

• Companies host corporate events to facilitate team bonding, boost employee morale, and help everyone understand the company’s missions and their roles in goal achievement.
• A corporate retreat is a company excursion as it takes the entire company out of the workplace for team bonding experiences.
• However, it is not just a team happy getaway.
• While the focus is not on work, corporate events usually include business-related activities like workshops and presentations.
• These productive sessions provide opportunities for companies to clarify things like company goals and values

• Define your goals You should clearly outline what your company wants to get out of the retreat. For example, do you want to define company values? Do you want to improve communications? Do you want to celebrate achievements?
• Communicate the plan and expectations Taking people out of their comfort zones for a retreat can create anxiety. They may worry about whether they’ll be safe, whether accommodations will be conducive, etc. Clearly communicating your plan and expectations will alleviate pre-retreat anxiety and set the tone for a more enjoyable retreat.
• Plan for recognition of team members
• Balance the agenda with work and play Plan your retreat itinerary to include a fair share of work and fun activities. Too many workshops may make your retreat tiring. When a location promises so much fun, the last thing employees will want is you always ushering them to conference rooms to listen to speeches. Also, limit organized sessions, and leave plenty of time for organic team-building exercises.
• The perfect retreat location Never use the office or any other place your teams work. You may do a retreat venue research by asking sampling employees. However, endeavor to go for an exclusive venue with a little bit of the wow factor. Think about something on the beach, by a lake, or in the mountain…
• Plan an event that caters to everyone. People in your group will have different needs. For example, while some will like physical activities, others may like more laid-back activities. To ensure your entire staff will love the retreat, plan the corporate event with inclusivity in mind so everyone’s needs are attended to.
• Work with a professional Destination Retreat Consultant Work with expert facilitators to lead productive workshops. Employees tend to open up to a stranger than a boss in such settings.
• Build fun into the agenda Retreats are only truly enjoyable when employees get to unwind and have fun. Fun means different things to different people, so there’s no end to activities you can include. However, favorite fun activities include guided tours, quiz games, scavenger hunts, horseback riding, etc.
• Don’t cram your agenda Your daytime should not be packed full of organized sessions. People love time for themselves to do their own thing. So, also plan for times when people can venture off on their own. Such organic interactions facilitate bonding.
