Why Villa Safira for your offsite

Capacity calibrated for 8 to 12 person teams

The villa accommodates 14 guests across 6 bedrooms. This is exactly the size of an executive committee, a consolidated product team, or a Series A or Series B leadership team. Each person has a private or shared bedroom according to the layout. No other guests intrude: full privatisation, which changes the quality of strategic conversations between sessions.

Separate workspaces and decompression zones

60 sqm main lounge convertible into a plenary room, covered terrace for breakout workshops, cinema room usable as a presentation space with screen and projector, garden for breaks and team walks. The transition from formal to informal is immediate: leave a workshop, jump in the pool or step onto the rooftop for 15 minutes without breaking the flow.

WiFi and infrastructure built for distributed work

High-speed fibre WiFi throughout the villa, multiple power outlets per area, air conditioning and heating depending on the season. The villa supports simultaneous Zoom calls from the entire team without saturation. Screen and projector available for demos and presentations. It's not a business hotel, but the infrastructure meets the requirements of a tech team.

Simplified logistics for office managers

25 minutes from Marrakech-Menara airport, with direct flights from Paris, London, Madrid, Berlin, Lisbon, Brussels, Geneva. Group transfers easy to organise, on-site catering via private chef or external caterer, daily housekeeping included. Organising an offsite outside the EU becomes considerably less complex than a Bali or Mediterranean trip. One invoice, one coordination contact, identified vendors.

What's included in the offsite package

Indicative privatisation rate: from EUR 322 per night for the entire villa, EUR 150 cleaning fee. For a 7-night offsite with full-board private chef, the global budget typically falls between EUR 18,000 and 25,000 for 8 to 12 people. Custom quote on request.
