Frequently Asked Questions

The questions teams ask us most before planning a retreat in Portugal.

Portugal combines direct connections to many European cities and selected US gateways, a generally mild climate, and strong value relative to much of Western Europe. Within a small country you can choose between a capital city, three coastlines, wine country, mountains, and Atlantic islands — so the destination can match your team, not the other way around.

A typical 3-day retreat runs €700–€4,000+ per person all-in: accommodation, meals, activities, ground transfers, and meeting space — everything except international flights. Published estimates are final client prices and include supplier VAT where applicable and our currently VAT-exempt planning fee. Where you land depends on group size, season, region, and hotel standard. See the full component-by-component pricing guide.

A full corporate retreat covers accommodation, all meals, ground transfers, meeting and breakout space, team activities, and on-the-ground coordination — everything except international flights. We design the agenda before anyone flies and run the logistics so your team can focus on the work and each other.

It depends on your team. Lisbon is the easiest logistics and scales to large groups; Alentejo is wine country and calm; Porto & Douro pair a river city with vineyard estates; the Algarve is beach-forward. We compare them honestly — including who each region is not for — on our destinations guide.

For the peak months — May, June, September, and October — start 4–6 months ahead to get the best venues. Off-season retreats can come together in 6–8 weeks. We reply to enquiries within 1–3 business days to discuss the brief and next steps.

From founder teams of 5 to full-company retreats of 200. Small groups usually take over a villa or quinta; larger groups use boutique hotels or full-venue takeovers. Our planning model is particularly well suited to teams of 15–60 people.

As little or as much as you need. We can run everything end-to-end — venue, meals, activities, transfers, on-the-ground support — or just handle the pieces you don't want to. Every cost is itemized with no hidden commissions. See how we work.
