Nurture. Lead. Inspire.
Take your team off the map — and above the noise.
A corporate retreat at Parohe Island Retreat puts 22 hectares of native harbourside bush at your disposal, along with world-class facilities designed to bring out the best in your people.
Strategy sessions land differently when the backdrop is open water and native forest. Multiple conference spaces and breakout areas offer natural light, stunning harbour vistas, and the kind of stillness that sharpens thinking and unlocks creativity.
Accommodation is rustic-chic with private ensuites throughout. Meals are fresh, nourishing and prepared on-site — alongside great coffee, always.
Choose from a full range of land and water activities, and incorporate as much or as little wellness as suits your team. We work closely with your planners in advance — and once you arrive, we take care of everything else.

Guest Feedback
I attended a corporate retreat at Parohe. Our company does an annual strategy retreat, every year at a different location.
This one was, by far, the most customised, curated, luxurious and value for money of all the retreats we've done in past.
Everyone had a great time, the location and service allowed us to really hone into our business strategy, and I was especially pleased to see how many of the pledged “non-yogis” attended morning yoga and loved it.
