When considering location, the first thing to keep in mind is what type of area everyone lives in. If your office building is located in the mountains for example, it might be most effective to look for business retreat locations near the beach in order to give everyone a change of pace. Key Largo has some of the most beautiful beaches in South Florida.

The next step in choosing business retreat locations is why organization and location often go hand in hand. This mostly has to do with free time. If you are not planning much free time, it is best to choose a fairly secluded facility that though comfortable and relaxing, is not near a lot of activities. Activities such as golf, tennis, elaborate restaurants, and nightclubs will distract employees and only make them bitter that they have been brought somewhere that offers so much and are not allowed to enjoy it all.

Lastly, and along the same lines, if you are going to be offering a fair amount of free time, consider business retreat locations that are near enough fun offerings to keep employees from getting bored. Try to find the right balance between sessions and time for sightseeing. To maintain a spirit of camaraderie, consider planning group activities or sightseeing excursions. There are plenty of fun and relaxing activities do to in the Florida Keys, such as glass bottom boat tours, catamarans, fishing and more. This can do wonders for team spirit and cultivating a great work attitude. It will also be good for setting a positive tone at the top, which goes a long way toward keeping employees happy as well.
