There’s no better way to get your team out of the office than by literally spending time outside of it. Studies show that spending time in nature boosts well-being and productivity. Plus, it’s one of the most affordable company retreat ideas on our list, since all you need to do is plan a picnic in the park or take a bus to a nearby nature reserve. Choose a spot that’s suitable for everyone on your team by searching for a wheelchair-accessible trail on TrailLink.

2. Rent a memorable venue on Peerspace

If you plan to prioritize workshops and presentations at your retreat, then hosting it outside may not be an option. Instead, rent a memorable Peerspace venue so you can get some time out of the office while still having all of the A/V gear and office equipment you need.

Many Peerspace venues have amenities like a sound system, projector, and kitchen included with your booking. For those that don’t, you can call up the Concierge service to arrange for an equipment rental or hire a professional caterer to take care of your team’s needs.

Just search for appropriate venues, such as a coworking space or meeting room near you. Or, get creative and rent an urban loft or museum for a more eclectic retreat location.

3. Travel out of town (or overseas!)

A company retreat isn’t exactly a vacation, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take the opportunity to travel. If your team is based in multiple locations, then it may be just as cost-effective to host a retreat in a central location that everyone’s excited about visiting.

For example, Buffer’s distributed team has gathered together in Sydney, Singapore, San Diego, and other places around the world. Choose a location where the exchange rate is favorable and that has the most straightforward visa policies for everyone on your team.

4. Go glamping
