Direction
No two business retreats are the same. We want to understand your goals as a company and how the business retreat can best support that.
Your Program
We draft a custom program, select possible accommodations and activities and send you a detailed proposal including budget.
Arrangements
We will set a timeline and (once agreed) book all of the accommodations, activities, food & drinks, workspace and transport. We'll share a full itinerary and program schedule to all team members.
Arrival
On your travel days, we will pick you up at the airport in Lisbon and make sure you settle in nicely in our wonderful town.
Getaway
During your Getaway, you will be accompanied by our workshop facilitators, experts and locals who guide you when you need them.
Aftercare
We will check in with you regularly to see if your goals are met. After the Getaway we always check in with you to help support the long term goals and changes that started during your Getaway.
What our clients say
Zowie Langdon
Catalyst
At Catalyst, we organized an entrepreneurial retreat for 10 people with Growth Getaway. It was quite challenging since not everyone was at the same stage in their journey. Working with Liesbeth and Paul made a huge difference, and I'm still receiving positive feedback months later.
Ericeira is beautiful and provided the perfect environment to get to know each other better and focus on our goals while enjoying nature and local culture. The workshops were well-organized, very engaging (sometimes challenging), and aligned perfectly with our needs.
What struck me most about Growth Getaway was their personal approach and flexibility. It felt like they truly understood what we needed and were very proactive in their thinking, both before and during the retreat. That created a great connection!
I would recommend Growth Getaway without hesitation to other entrepreneur communities (or companies and teams) looking for a unique and effective way to enhance their team building and professional development.
Nikaj Wiggers
COO at The Main Ingredient
The offsite organized by Growth Getaway was a huge success, blending productivity with fun seamlessly. We had quite an ambitious goal: build and ship a product in just four weeks with our team. Thanks to their guidance, we were able to meet out goals and ship a new product during the offsite. Their help in finding the perfect venue, keeping the planning process on track, and stepping in to adjust where needed ensured everything ran smoothly and allowed us to fully focus on our goals.

Set your BHAG
In an ever-evolving business landscape, it's not uncommon for companies to lose sight of their long-term vision. As the marketplace shifts and the daily grind takes precedence, the original ambitious goals that once drove progress can become obscured. Without a clear and compelling direction, companies risk stagnation, a
Learn more →Types of accommodation
The getaway works best when the stay is completely to your liking. We take care of and book a wonderful stay for your company. That could be an apartment, a quinta, hotel, a villa or even a full resort. Ericeira and its surroundings offer fantastic accommodations to select from.
Apartment/Quinta
Tailored to your team's needs and budget
Choose from single, double, or triple occupancy rooms to suit your budget. Our apartments, paired with workspace facilities, provide an excellent solution for fast-growing startups aiming to host a productive hackathon, design sprint, or product innovation retreat. Typically, this venue caters to groups of 10-40 people for stays lasting 4-6 nights.
Hotel
Optimal Choice for Large Groups
Hotel accommodations represent the perfect solution for rapidly expanding companies seeking the flexibility to accommodate additional participants, even just a few weeks before their retreat commences. Unlike apartment buildings, hotels offer more extensive space options. Our standard hotel package includes a 4-star hotel, often paired with an event space or conference room. Nevertheless, depending on your retreat's objectives, we also provide 3-star (budget-friendly) and 5-star (suitable for executive retreats or board meetings) hotel alternatives.
Villa retreat
Exclusive Villas Perfect for Team Bonding with Small & Mid-sized Teams
Living in close proximity to your colleagues fosters strong personal connections. Our villas provide over 10 rooms, all customizable for single or double occupancy to suit your preferences. Your team can work from various areas within the house, whether it's the cozy living room, private rooms, or a sunlit terrace. Villas are the ideal choice for retreats focused on team bonding, including annual gatherings or milestone celebrations.
