EXECUTIVE RETREATS BY DUENDE
Take your team somewhere unforgettable
High-end team experiences that inspire creativity, connection, and clarity
The most powerful ideas don’t happen in boardrooms —
they happen around shared tables, in quiet courtyards, and on sunlit walks between vineyards.
At Duende, we design European retreats for creative, visionary teams
who know that meaningful connection fuels inspired work.
Each journey blends strategy and soul —
so your team returns grounded, reconnected, and ready to create.

5–7 day European experiences for leadership teams. Boutique villas, chef-led dining, curated local adventures.

Curated cultural escapes that deepen client relationships through design, cuisine, and storytelling.

Portugal
Creative retreats for storytellers and thinkers, set against riverside views, tiled facades, and the warmth of Portuguese hospitality.
France

We make the complex feel effortless
— so you can focus on your people.
Discovery
We begin with a thoughtful conversation to understand your goals, company culture, and desired outcomes. Whether you’re seeking to spark creativity, deepen connection, or celebrate a milestone, this is where we uncover what your team truly needs.
Design
Our team curates every detail of your retreat — from destination and accommodations to experiences that align with your company’s values and rhythm. Imagine a strategy session in a Tuscan villa or a shared meal in a coastal vineyard. Each retreat is designed to inspire connection and clarity.
Proposal
You’ll receive a tailored retreat concept — a visual presentation of destinations, itinerary flow, and investment options — that captures the essence of your brand and your team’s vision.
Execution
We handle every logistical detail — bookings, on-the-ground coordination, and seamless communication — so your only task is to arrive and be fully present. From first arrival to farewell dinner, every moment is designed for ease and delight.
Integration
After your team returns, we support you in capturing the insights and energy that emerged during your retreat. From storytelling materials to reflection sessions, we help translate your travel experience into lasting impact for your team and brand.
