There is lots of fun in the sun to be had  with these suggestions for incentive trip activities in Miami: 

Beachclub White Party

Dating back to 1988, the original Le Dîner en Blanc, started by François Pasquier in Paris has today become an international must-attend social soiree. Guests will be dressed to impress in all white and the Miami skyline will play as the backdrop. The event will bring together a chic menu, a night of dancing and a host of high-energy entertainment and DJs - ensuring a night to remember!

Top Tips for an Incentive Trip in Miami

Expert Advice for an Incentive in Miami

In Miami, every day is a celebration of sun, culture, and flavor. So whether you're sipping mojitos on the beach, exploring the city's vibrant neighborhoods, or dancing the night away under the stars, one thing is for sure: Miami will capture your heart and leave you craving more. Get the most out of your incentive trip with some helpful tips:

Consider your dates: F1 Miami is usually in early May each year, making hotel rates astronomical in April and May 

Make Reservations: Be sure to reserve poolside tables and cabanas in advance to secure your spot.

Learn Some Basic Spanish: There are some areas or restaurants that may communicate completely in Spanish so knowing some common phrases is recommended.

Sun Protection is Key: Sunglasses and sunscreen are a MUST.

Build in Leisure Time: Allow attendees to explore Miami's attractions and leisure activities at their own pace by incorporating free time into the itinerary.

Any Other Considerations for an Incentive in Miami

Though the city is generally safe in downtown and tourist areas such as South Beach, there are some precautions to take. Like in any city, there is some crime confined to certain areas, so avoid going out at night alone. When hitting the beach, don’t bring valuables in case of petty theft. Enjoy the nightlife responsibly by watching your drinks and having a plan ahead of time for the return journey to the hotel.

FAQs

Corporate Retreat FAQ

Are work retreats worth it?
Orange Arrow

Definitively, yes. Work retreats allocate time and space for teams to break free from the everyday routine, encouraging innovation and creativity. These getaways promote deeper relationships among employees while fueling their productivity back in the office.

How much do companies spend on retreats?

Company spending on corporate retreats can dramatically vary depending on factors such as location, size of the team, activities planned, and accommodation type. Often the budget ranges from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands. Take a look at our budgeting cheat sheet to learn more. 

How long should a corporate retreat last?
Orange Arrow

Generally, corporate retreats tend to fall within 2-5 days including travel time. The duration depends largely on the goals you aim to achieve from the event — whether it's strategic planning or strengthening employee relationships.

What is the importance of corporate retreats?
Orange Arrow

Corporate retreats are essential for enhancing team bonding, morale boosting, breaking deadlock situations in projects or negotiations, revisiting shared goals and celebrating achievements together.

What is the best way to plan a remote company retreat?
Orange Arrow

Start by setting clear objectives for the retreat. Next, determine activities that align with these goals — this can range from professional development workshops to leisure and bonding opportunities. Establishing rules for engagement can further ensure a rewarding experience.

What's the best way to find corporate retreat facilities?
Orange Arrow

Online research is a great starting point. Beyond that, you might want to tap into your professional network or, even better, consult corporate retreat planners who are familiar with various locations, venues, and itineraries that would be ideally suited to your company.
