5 places to organize a company event near Barcelona

Not all meetings need to take place inside a closed room, with fluorescent lights on the ceiling and a projector that doesn’t work. Sometimes, you need to step out of the usual context for new things to happen. When the environment changes, so does the way we see, listen, and think. At Mas Redortra, we have seen this many times: teams that arrive with a list of topics leave with a new way of working together.

Surrounded by nature, with spacious and bright areas, and an atmosphere that invites calm and authenticity, Mas Redortra has become the setting for a wide variety of corporate gatherings. Here we propose five ways to experience a corporate event that leaves a mark.

5 Places to Organize a Corporate Event Near Barcelona

1.Charming Farmhouses: Tradition, Comfort, and a Privileged Setting

The rural farmhouses in Catalonia are one of the most popular options for organizing corporate events. Located in rural settings, surrounded by fields, forests, or mountains, they offer a perfect balance between comfort and nature.

Some farmhouses near Barcelona have been tastefully restored, maintaining their traditional architectural charm while offering all modern conveniences: rooms for large groups, industrial kitchens, spacious outdoor areas, and even catering services or activity facilitation. These rural houses allow the entire team to stay in one space, which strengthens cohesion and encourages idea exchange in a more relaxed environment.

Among the most popular options are the farmhouses in the Catalan Pre-Pyrenees, those in Montseny, Garrotxa, or the Plana de Vic, many of them with gardens, barbecues, meeting rooms, and even pools. They are also ideal for combining work and leisure: morning work sessions can be followed by outdoor activities in the afternoon.

2.Corporate Parties in Nature: A Different Celebration

More and more companies are choosing to organize their annual celebrations, corporate anniversaries, or team recognitions in natural settings. Doing so in the middle of nature transforms the event into a unique experience, away from urban rigidity.

Some team-building farmhouses offer specific services for these types of events: personalized decoration, live music, food trucks, stages, chill-out areas, and night lighting that creates a magical atmosphere. A corporate party in a meadow surrounded by trees, with hanging lights and a bonfire to end the night, can leave a much more emotional impact on participants than a meal in a conventional restaurant.

3.Pools in the Heart of Nature: Work and Relax

Another highly valued option is choosing rural houses with a private pool integrated into the landscape. In warm seasons, there’s no better way to reward a team’s effort than offering a moment of relaxation by the water, with spectacular views. Some companies use these spaces for informal team-building activities such as water games, outdoor lunches, or simply to provide rest areas where teams can chat in a relaxed way.

These pools, often saltwater and surrounded by nature, provide an immediate sense of well-being and can be combined with yoga sessions, massages, or mindfulness workshops if you want to add a mental health component to the event.

4.Mountain Hikes: Walking to Think Better

Organizing a corporate outing that includes renting a mountain rural house and going on a countryside hike can be enriching on many levels. Moderate physical effort helps disconnect from constant rational thinking and opens the door to more genuine and creative conversations. Moreover, walking together on the same paths strengthens the sense of group and encourages collaboration.

There are many options suitable for all levels: from easy routes through meadows and forests to more challenging climbs with panoramic views. In Catalonia, areas such as Montnegre, Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park, or the surroundings of Montserrat offer accessible itineraries and spectacular scenery.

5.Horseback Riding: An Unforgettable Experience

A less common but highly impactful emotional activity is organizing a group horseback riding excursion. These outings, always accompanied by experienced guides, allow participants to explore nature in a slower, more connected way. Horses have a calming effect, and sharing this activity in silence or with light conversation creates a special bond among participants.

Many rural houses or riding centers offer customized rides for corporate groups, often combined with farm breakfasts or mountain picnics.
