The Art of Corporate Retreats

One perfect day in a corporate retreat at Tanah Gajah, a Resort by Hadiprana

A corporate retreat is an event used to bring all or part of a company’s workforce together. The goal is to create a deeper connection among team members by creating space for them to interact meaningfully in a structured yet relaxed environment.
 
While work retreat ideas may revolve around work-related activities like project post-mortems and development planning, companies are increasingly focusing on fun and relaxation to help participants spend time together in a less formal atmosphere. After the pandemic, employers now prefer corporate retreat venues with nature nearby, such as a beautiful park in comparison to indoor spaces. Venues with plenty of open space as well as adequate air ventilation are currently more in demand.
 
Team building activities such as icebreakers and games can make corporate retreats fun for employees. What makes Tanah Gajah, Ubud an ideal venue for corporate retreats are the number of venues available within the resort to hold an event; as well as the flexibility of its culinary team to personalise the group’s dining arrangement during their stay.

Assuming that guests have checked in on the previous evening, the following day may start with a group yoga class at our Yoga Pavilion or on the sunset deck of the nearby Panen Padi Lounge. The 90-minute Yoga session is a great way to boost stamina and feel refreshed and relaxed.

Once fuelled up with breakfast goodness, take a nice shower in your villa, followed by a leisurely walk along the bridge by the swan pond to Bale Dedari for your first meeting.

The open space venue is equipped with a round table and surrounded by a swan pond and lush tropical garden, an ideal space for a casual morning meeting for 10 people (we have plenty of spaces to offer for larger groups). The Tanah Gajah team will be nearby to attend to your needs. Maybe a cup of hot cappuccino or fragrant earl grey tea to boost your energy.

It’s noon and time for lunch. Our team will escort you to Panen Padi Lounge for a relaxing working lunch with a view over the rice paddy fields where you may watch a farmer attending his herd of cute ducks. After lunch, take advantage of your cozy villa for a quick nap or dip in the pool.
