An inspiring environment for your business meeting
Meeting in nature offers your group the opportunity to step away from the everyday work environment. A green setting is ideal for a strategy session, retreat, brainstorm, training, or meeting where reflection and collaboration are central. Depending on the location, you meet near forests, heath, dunes, or a water-rich nature area.
Professional meetings in the green
A green environment and professional meeting facilities go well together at Van der Valk. Within the business offering, there are various types of meeting rooms and flexible room setups available, suitable for both small meetings and larger presentations and business events.
During your meeting, you can combine meetings and catering at the same location. Think of coffee and tea during reception, a carefully arranged lunch, a dinner or a drinks reception.
Meeting and staying overnight in nature
For a multi-day meeting, training, or team session, you can combine meeting and staying overnight in nature. Participants stay at the same location after the program and can continue the business programme the next day. Within the total business offer, Van der Valk, according to the central meeting page, has more than 10,000 rooms and suites, but availability and room types differ per hotel.
An overnight stay can be complemented with breakfast, lunch, dinner, and other program components. Various locations also have restaurants and opportunities for relaxation or exercise.
Combine your meeting with an outdoor activity
A meeting location in nature makes it easier to alternate an indoor program with a moment outside. Think, for example, of a walk, bike ride, or other activity in the area.
An outdoor moment can be included as a break between two meeting blocks or as part of a more extensive team program. If you actually want to meet outside, for example on a terrace or in a garden, check per hotel which outdoor spaces are available and if they can be arranged for your group size and program.
