— Retreats and groups

A place where the group fits whole

A retreat, a team going away to think, a family travelling together. Four answers and we know which of the three hotels to ask.

— What decides the place

Three questions before the brochure

A group does not pick a hotel from a photograph: it picks on whether it fits, whether everyone can eat together and whether there is somewhere to gather. That gets asked first.

01

How many you are

This rules hotels out before anything else. The three in the group run from a small house among palms to a resort on the south coast of Lanzarote: the same group fills one and vanishes into the other.

02

What happens in the mornings

A retreat needs somewhere to gather and a fixed hour; a group trip, hardly ever. Saying so in the first email saves an entire round of questions.

03

Whether you eat together

Every hotel has its own kitchen and its own menu — one of the six conditions of entry to the group. How a group's meals are handled is answered by that kitchen, not by a chain-wide menu list.

— Four questions

Tell us the plan

The first answer already decides who this reaches.

01 / 05What are you putting together?
02 / 05How many people?

This is what decides the hotel: ours run from a small house to a resort.

03 / 05What else besides somewhere to sleep?
04 / 05When would it be?
Last stepWhere do we write back?

With this we already know which hotel to ask. A person writes the reply.

Optional. If you come from a company, a studio or a collective.
Optional. How many days, what happens in the mornings, what cannot be missing.

No dates are held here: this is the beginning of a conversation.

— The three places

Before choosing, look at where

Three coasts, three rhythms and three different kitchens. Every hotel tells it on its own site.
