Recently, a world-leading international investment firm asked Quintessentially Experiences to create an unforgettable offsite that incentivises and rewards staff globally as well as facilitates key networking and bonding opportunities throughout. The programme needed to balance discretion with spectacle – something that would resonate equally with executives, and partners. This was the biggest offsite for the company to-date, and expectations were high.
So, let’s get into it. Here’s how Quintessentially Experiences turned high-level goals into a world-class experience.
The brief
The client envisioned an offsite that went far beyond the ordinary – bringing their global teams together through unforgettable bonding experiences, curated activities tailored for every demographic, and show-stopping dinners paired with world-class entertainment.
What success looks like
The key deliverables for this offsite were to strengthen team bonding and company culture across global offices, reward staff globally with memorable experiences, and provide seamless logistics and execution with total flexibility for everchanging guest requirements and travel plans on the ground.
Bringing it to life
First things first: we secured a buyout of one of the most in-demand five-star properties in Palma for the guests to be stay at. The perfect base for bringing the client's vision to life.
Next up: the entertainment and experiences. We had six activities running in tandem, including a wellness morning, horse riding, caving, coasteering, and golf. And from a private boat day around the island (complete with water toys) to VIP tables at a popular nightclub, we had guests entertained day to night.
And last but not least: drinking and dining. We secured eight group meals at top restaurants around the island with personalised menus to suit the group preferences and provide varied dining experiences throughout, pivoting off our international restaurant network and relationships.
Throughout all of this, we provided dedicated roles within the onsite team to support guest requests and changes in a seamless manner, creating a stress-free experience for all guests
The magic moments
Leveraging off the full hotel buyout, we created a private house party, including glitter makeup artists, Champagne skirt ladies, specialty cocktail bars, bespoke branding and tablescaping for a three-course dinner, and flying in a popular six-piece band and DJ for the night.
We also facilitated a wellness morning that included a water-based sound bath, sunrise yoga overlooking the sea, expert astrology readings, and a cacao ceremony to bring teams together. In silo, we coordinated groups across other parts of the island to go canyoning, caving, golfing and horseback riding. These activities were followed by coming together for an alfresco barbecue lunch, vineyard tour, and wine tasting at a new and exclusive vineyard.
“Best offsite we’ve ever attended.”

The water-based activities were especially standout, too – from a private pool party complete with giant croquette towers, DJ, and bespoke water floaties to a private boat day featuring water toys (think Ferrari cars on water, sea bobs, and e-foils) followed by an alfresco lunch at a top restaurant.
