Reply Iriscube's Perfect Company Retreat
When it comes to company retreats, the experience can make or break employee morale and team cohesion
As an experienced event planner, we were intrigued to organize Reply Iriscube's recent weekend getaway - and we must say, we nailed it.
A Multifunctional Venue in a Stunning Setting
Opting for a sustainable beachside resort in Tuscany, the 250-strong group from the Turin and Milan offices were treated to a jam-packed itinerary that struck the perfect balance between fun, relaxation, and meaningful team building. Without having to travel too far from their usual stomping grounds, the Reply Iriscube team were transported to a beautiful coastal retreat that allowed them to truly switch off and immerse themselves in the experience.
From the moment they arrived, the attendees were treated to a warm welcome, with a delectable buffet dinner and laidback DJ set on the beach. It was the ideal way to kick off the weekend, allowing everyone to mingle, unwind, and get into the spirit of the event.
Sports, Relaxation, and the Excitement of "Carton Boat" Team Building
The next day, the team were spoiled for choice when it came to activities. Whether they fancied a friendly game of paddle, tennis, beach volleyball or football, or simply wanted to soak up the sun by the pool or on the sand, the resort's impressive facilities catered to all interests and fitness levels. This free-flowing morning set the tone for the afternoon's team building exercise - a thrilling 'carton boat' challenge in a nearby wooded area of the resort.
Tasked with designing and building their own cardboard boats, the teams had to put their heads together, get their hands dirty, and use innovative thinking to create crafts that could actually float. Not only did this encourage collaboration and communication, but it also injected a healthy dose of friendly competition and enthusiasm into the mix. The winning team was later announced over an elegant sunset aperitif!
The gala dinner in the evening struck the perfect tone. Attendees enjoyed a decadent meal in one of the resort's beautiful restaurants. The fabulous food and flowing drinks fueled plenty of lively conversation, laughter, and dancing into the night.
A Meeting in a Special Space Before Returning
The final morning was dedicated to the all-important company meeting—a chance for the leadership team to share updates, acknowledge achievements, and rally the troops. Holding this session in the resort's open-air theatre allowed everyone to soak up the scenic surroundings while they listened attentively. It definitely was a hugely uplifting way to wrap up the weekend.
What we are most satisfied with about this event is the seamless integration of work and play. By hosting the entire experience within a single, sustainable resort, we were able to create an immersive, hassle-free retreat that catered to every possible need. The varied program of activities meant that no one was left feeling bored or fatigued, while the stunning natural setting provided the perfect backdrop for team bonding, strategic planning, and pure relaxation.
