Planning a corporate getaway is a lot of fun. There’s real joy in knowing your employees will love the breakaway, and it’s a wonderful way to reward them for their hard work. The challenge is finding something that the majority of people will enjoy – the larger your team, the more diverse their interests and needs become.
In the case of your team enjoying fitness and exercising regularly, this could be a good place to start. There are so many different types of corporate getaways that incorporate fitness. You could go on a hiking trip, such as a Camino De Santiago, or you could go on a watersports adventure where you get to kayak, kite surf, or scuba dive. Something that has grown in popularity over the years is a cycling holiday – the main benefit is that you get to see more than one place in one trip.
For a bit of inspiration, we’ve highlighted three types of corporate getaways that are perfect for teams who enjoy staying active. Hopefully, one or two of them are ideal for your next breakaway together.
Corporate hiking break
A hiking break is ideal for teams who love to explore on foot and want to spend time immersed in nature, breathing in fresh air. Trips that involve plenty of walking and sightseeing, such as the various Camino de Santiago routes, allow you to enjoy real quality time together, catching up and getting to know each other outside the working environment. It’s a wonderful way to slow down, reconnect, and strengthen team bonds in a relaxed, scenic setting. Plus, when you complete your routes, there is a real sense of accomplishment. When hiking, you’ll often visit places that are hard to get to via public transport or most vehicles, for that matter. This means a lot of what you will see is unspoilt.
Watersports adventure
Speak to your team and see what type of fitness activities they favour. If your team prefers something more adrenaline-fuelled, a watersports break could be the perfect fit. From kayaking and paddleboarding to more adventurous options like kitesurfing or diving, these experiences create unforgettable memories while building confidence and camaraderie. As a team, you’ll great memories which can help you bond and work better when you return to work. Plus, when you are exercising, this takes your mind off the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Cycling getaway
Corporate cycling breaks offer a balance between fitness and exploration. Routes can be tailored to suit different skill levels, making it a versatile choice for mixed-ability teams. You’ll get to explore different landscapes, see incredible sceneries, whilst also getting to be active. One of the best things about cycling is that you get to travel further, faster, meaning you can fit more into your breakaway when it comes to seeing different landmarks.
