Troutbeck
Amenia, New York
Home for centuries to naturalists, poets, and romantics, Troutbeck was revived and renewed for the creative, the curious, and the adventurous. To us, it gives old money estate meets modern farmhouse. Highlights from our team’s recent retreat included exploring the nearly 250-acre property, cozying up by the fire with spiked cider, enjoying the infrared room post-spa treatments, the locally-sourced fresh food, and of course, the memories made around the dinner table.
Hacienda AltaGracia
Pérez Zeledón, Costa Rica
First thing’s first: corporate retreat venues don’t have to be, well…corporate. Hacienda AltaGracia, Auberge Resorts Collection is the antidote to a boring business meeting. Each of the fifty casitas perched in the mountains above the San Isidro Valley is ultra-private; moreover, many offer their own pool overlooking Costa Rica’s verdant landscape that inspires pura vida spirit. In partnership with THE WELL, the resort reimagines the Costa Rica wellness experience, with cutting-edge treatments in addition to offerings like an immersive four-hour River Bath. After THE WELL refreshes you, your team can set out for hands-on experiences. Try a visit to a nearby farm before wrapping the day in a residential-style meetings space, cocktail (or mocktail if you’re detoxing!) in hand.

Palm Heights
Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
Nestled on Seven Mile Beach, one of the Caribbean’s most coveted stretches of white sand, Palm Heights offers breathtaking Caribbean views from every suite and generous living space. The property is a generational reboot celebrating regional culture, cuisine, wellness, and understated glamour. We love it for corporate retreats with a wellness focus for its integration of the Palm Heights Athletics facility. Their gym features an indoor air-conditioned gym studio space on site featuring a range of equipment including Merrithew pilates reformers and Woodway treadmills. There is also an ongoing regular program of classes from mobility, and HIIT to sound healing and personal training, all offered by resident trainers with their own core specialties to keep your entire team active and engaged.

Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa
Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
Yes, more Cayman–because we can’t get enough of this destination for a mix of beach and business. If your group is looking for a break from the winter chill, Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa offers an easily accessible island paradise. The resort is set on famous Seven Mile Beach and is ideal for beachside activities. The variety of dining options available at Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa is exquisite – from innovative menus to clean-eating options – are the gold standard when it comes to corporate retreat venues with options for anyone in your group regardless of dietaries. On the other hand, adventure seekers amongst your team should try their water sports like sailing, or kayaking.

Montage Palmetto Bluff
Bluffton, SC
Sometimes, all you need to do to refocus is take a jaunt down south to lowcountry. Montage Palmetto Bluff stands out amongst corporate retreat venues for its stunning standalone accommodations paired with a wide variety of activities. Guests know Montage International for its distinct collection of hotels designed to blend with their local surroundings. And Montage Palmetto Bluff offers the southern hospitality that the region is known for and keeps repeat clients coming back time and time again. For this reason, we recommend this property for any groups looking for private residencies and its wide range of activities, including thirteen clay shooting stations throughout their 40-acre forest. Golfers will also love putting on their scenic 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature Course. On the other hand, nature-lovers amongst your team will adore biking through the Bluff.

One&Only Mandarina
Riviera Nayarit, Mexico
If your team is looking for the ultimate getaway in a remote setting, One&Only Mandarina should be on your list. The designers wove all-villa resort seamlessly into Mexico’s coastal rainforests, meaning each accommodation ensures top-tier privacy. As you evaluate your list of corporate retreat venues, know that this property is especially geared towards more active guests. For example, a stay here is best paired with hiking shoes for a guided trek up to the 500-year old La Abuela tree where One&Only’s fitness team will be waiting to lead you through a one-of-a-kind yoga experience. When it comes to conducting team meetings or corporate incentive group activations, there are a handful of dedicated event spaces including two outdoor venues so your group can soak up the fresh Riviera Nayarit air.
