Company Retreat

An experience that will boost your team's connection

We are a boutique agency based in Barcelona, specialising in company retreats across the Mediterranean and Europe, but we operate all around the world. We handle everything, so all your team can actually enjoy the experience.

Planning a retreat or team offsite takes more time than most People teams expect. Venue research, activity coordination, transfers, dietary requirements, last-minute changes. It adds up quickly, and it pulls you away from the work that actually matters.

We take that off your plate. From the first briefing call to the last transfer back to the airport, we design and manage every detail. You show up and enjoy it with your team.

  • We work with groups from 10 to 150+ people.
  • On-site support during the retreat by an expert coordinator.
  • Every retreat is designed from scratch, tailored to your team.
  • We care about your team as much as your budget.
  • First-class service with a personal touch.

Every experience is designed from scratch.

The best thing that happened to me this year as an Office Manager was discovering Gecko Events! They have become an essential partner in making all our projects a reality. Our end-of-year event and our team building activities were a real success thanks to this amazing team, and to Oriol’s professionalism and great energy. I recommend them 100%.

James

We had a day-long team building event with this team and it was the perfect mix - a practical and useful workshop on communication styles, a great paella lunch that we made ourselves (with a lot of guidance) and an escape room/puzzle quest. An ideal way to get to know my colleagues better and have a great time in a beautiful setting!
