A workation or corporate retreat abroad is no longer just a luxury—it’s a strategic way to boost productivity, encourage creativity, and strengthen company culture.
And few destinations tick as many boxes as Portugal’s Algarve. Known for the best climate in Europe during winter, affordable low-season luxury, and easy connections to major airports, the Algarve is now a top choice for companies hosting retreats, wellness programs, and product launches.
At POMAR Workation, our dedicated team is based locally, ensuring every detail of your event is seamless—from logistics to unique activities.
Boosting Productivity in Europe’s Sunniest Region
- 300 days of sunshine per year and mild winters (17–22°C) create an energizing environment for focus and innovation.
- While the rest of Europe faces rain and grey skies, the Algarve’s natural light and fresh air increase creativity and well-being.
Affordable Luxury in the Low Season
- Between October and April, the Algarve’s low season means quieter venues and competitive rates.
- Companies can book boutique hotels, luxury villas, or coastal venues at better value compared to peak months.
- This makes the Algarve a rare mix of affordability and exclusivity.
Easy Access with Direct Flights to Faro Airport
- Faro International Airport has direct connections with most major European hubs:
- London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Frankfurt, Brussels, Madrid, and more.
- Flight times average 2–3 hours, making it convenient for international teams and press.
- Stress-free transfers ensure participants arrive ready to enjoy the retreat.
Building Stronger Teams Through Authentic Experiences
- Beyond work, teams share meaningful activities: sailing, yoga, coastal hikes, or local cooking classes.
- These moments create genuine connections that last long after the retreat.
- The Algarve’s authentic culture and hospitality make every event unforgettable.

Attracting and Retaining Talent

- The combination of work infrastructure + lifestyle perks (surf, gastronomy, wellness) makes it especially appealing.
