Offsites aren’t one-size-fits-all. The magic of a team retreat lies in tailoring the experience to your group’s size. Here’s a breakdown of creative ideas by group size:
Small but Mighty (2–5 people)
- Creative Escape: Rent a design-forward Airbnb in the countryside. Add in a creative workshop (pottery, mixology, improv).
- Cowork & Chill: Use a coworking space by day, surf camp or hammam spa by night.
Mid-Sized Magic (6–15 people)
- Retreat + Strategy: Mix focused sessions in inspiring spaces with adventure (canyoning in Slovenia, wine biking in Bordeaux).
- DIY Hackathon: Book a quiet hotel with a shared workspace and run a 2-day internal buildathon.
The Full Squad (16–50+)
- Mini Festival: Use a boutique venue with glamping options. Build your own agenda with speakers, team olympics, and fireside chats.
- Urban Summit: Rent a space in a city like Berlin or Lisbon. Break into smaller pods for activities, regroup for dinners or presentations.
Pro Tip: Use CyaLater’s group filter to instantly view accommodation and activities optimized for your headcount.
