Three Day (2 nights) All-Inclusive Executive Retreat Itinerary “Maho Immersion” (20 pax)

Impressive Sonesta Maho Beach Resort might also boost a large convention centre with its Maho and Royal Islander rooms, it also has the Saba, Statia and Bonaire rooms for smaller corporate retreats. If you are an executive assistant tasked with an easy and swift offsite business retreat, workshop or training – Sonesta’s smaller rooms might be just what you are looking for.

 

First and foremost, Sonesta works with an all-inclusive formula, taking away logistics for a short retreat. Secondly, the hotel is located only 3 minutes from the St. Maarten Airport connecting the island to major hubs in the United States, Europe, Central America and the Caribbean.

 

Last but not least, a good corporate offsite includes some time for leisure. St. Maartens compact size makes any excursion or restaurant within reach of your Maho retreat and a haven for planners of meetings and events. The Maho area alone can cater to any of these needs.

 

A suggested day-by-day plan below provides ideas how to combine fun and serious brainstorming on a three day, exclusive St. Maarten business trip. For the most exclusive lodging at Sonesta Maho, consider its Ocean Point or Ultimate Club arrangements. The route is efficiently centered around the Maho area and airport, so relaying on taxis could suffice instead of a dmc, depending on your preferences.

 

 

Day 1: Arrival & Sunset at the Cliffs

 

If your group is international, they will arrive at different times – the same is prone to apply if coming from various locations in the US or Canada. Sonesta’s all-inclusive nature makes it easy to choose a restaurant or bar to await your colleagues. The complex also has dedicated smaller restaurants like Portofino along the cliffs where your group can meet up in a more private setting. The convention rooms are centrally located on the property so you can prepare the room for day 2 in the process.

 

 

Day 2: Maho Meeting & Cupecoy Cuisine

 

Start off with the sumptuous breakfast options included in your package at 7.30. Commence the training, workshop or strategy session where you flew in for at 8.30.

 

At 10.30, allow yourself a break with a short walk to famed Maho Beach where airplanes fly over – your trip just included a must-see St. Maarten attraction in your first three hours of retreat!

 

At 12.30, select your lunch spot from the many restaurants and tastes that Sonesta boasts. From 1.30 to 3pm, engage in the third session of your serious session at the Saba, Statia or Bonaire room.

 

At 3pm, explore the other famous beach near Maho, Mullet Bay Beach, for a longer break until 4pm. This allows just enough time for the 10 minute walk andto sip a seaside cocktail at a beach club before returning for a last session until 6 or 6.30pm.

 

For a bite outside of Sonesta, nearby Porto Cupecoy offers options at 7pm. French cuisine inspired Rendez-Vous and India Palace along this Tuscany-inspired marina show the unique, wide variety of tastes on island nicknamed “Culinary Capital of the Caribbean“.

 

 

Day 3: Summary Meeting & Departure

 

The morning of day 3 allows a two hour recap summary of the elements learnt and strategies discussed. Next door Maho Village allows for a variety of shops to choose souvenirs for home. Unless of course, your team adds some days to their stay for leisure purposes and private time! In any regards, frequent flights nearby offer the opportunity to swiftly disperse again to wherever home is!
