Four nights in Dubai for 100 leaders. Focused morning sessions, evenings the team will still be talking about next year.

Both give the Offsites team full visibility. They differ in who holds the pen.
Every employee gets access to the Fluid by Pickyourtrail app and books their own flight inside a policy you set. They pick their own routing, seat and timing. The Offsites team sees every booking as it happens.
We collect preferred dates and routing from each delegate, then book the full manifest centrally. Best when HighLevel wants a single negotiated fare and total control of the manifest.
The India block is a four-hour flight where economy is entirely reasonable. The US block is 13 to 16 hours landing into a working programme, and the return red-eye departs Dubai on the 11th and lands home the same day US time. Premium economy or business on the US 35 is worth pricing as an option.
All 5 star, all costed on single occupancy. Requirement is 100 keys, a plenary space for 100 theatre-style, six to eight breakout rooms, and a private welcome dinner venue. Rates are negotiated once you shortlist.
Three properties that would make this kickoff distinct rather than merely excellent.
To confirm: plenary capacity for 100 theatre-style, breakout inventory, and buyout minimum spend.
Feels like you have left Dubai while staying inside city limits. The multi-hotel structure also makes 100 single rooms straightforward to block.
Not a beach resort, but it deserves consideration if budget allows. One of Dubai's newest luxury landmarks, with striking architecture and a very executive feel — ideal for a C-suite leadership event. Consistently placed among the city's top luxury experiences.

Recommended in partnership with the Dubai tourism team. Pick from this list against the itinerary in Block Four — we can add more options on request.
Immersive digital art space that also functions as a gala dinner venue. Gives you a headline dinner setting with a genuine wow moment on arrival.
The world’s highest 360-degree infinity pool, on the 50th floor of The Palm Tower, looking straight across Dubai Marina and the skyline. Private dinner buyouts available for groups. Our recommended alternative for the Day 2 evening.
A chartered yacht out of Dubai Marina for the full group, with dinner, drinks and a DJ on board. Cruises past the Marina towers, Bluewaters and the Palm skyline. The one evening where the venue moves with you.
Emirati hosts share heritage, traditions and local culture over a meal and an open Q&A. Outstanding for a leadership team that has just opened a Dubai office — arguably the most relevant item on this list for HighLevel this year.
Dune bashing in a 4x4 convoy, then dinner at a private luxury desert camp with live cultural performance — oud and qanun, folk dancers, falconry, camel and horse displays. Proposed for the night of 10 February.
Dubai’s go-to spot for locals and residents. Dinner and quick shopping in one stop, with a relaxed open-air setting that suits an unstructured evening.
Glass slide, edge walk and observatory over Sheikh Zayed Road. Short, high-impact, and slots neatly into an evening block.
Bay-based competition format that scales cleanly to 100 in cross-function teams. Climate controlled, easy to run as a bracket, and no skill barrier to entry.
Treetop obstacle courses and ziplines set in a ghaf forest. Physical, genuinely competitive, and the strongest pure team-bonding option on the list.
Explore Dubai’s heritage waterfront while competing through timed tasks. Our pick for the Day 4 bonding slot — it runs on foot, scales to 100 in teams, and doubles as a city tour.
Dawn lift-off over the desert with a falconry display on landing. Runs before the heat and well before any session starts, so it costs the agenda nothing.
A one-stop destination to discover wildlife from around the world. Easy pace and low physical demand — the gentlest option if you want a relaxed group day.
Sessions in the morning, experiences in the evening. Sunset falls at roughly 18:08 across these dates, which is why evening programming is built to start around then. Every experience slot is interchangeable against Block Three.
A full day of outdoor team bonding followed by dune bashing and a desert dinner is a long day on the feet. We would run the bonding activity as a half day finishing by 13:00 and hold the afternoon free, so the group arrives at the desert fresh. It is the best venue of the week and worth protecting.
That difference decides whether a shortlist becomes held space at the right rate, or a set of options that quietly disappear while you are still deciding. We hold direct commercial relationships with the hotels, DMCs and airlines, so there is no middle layer sitting between your budget and the room block.
Flights, rooms, ground movement and on-site delivery run on one contract, with one team accountable for all four. When something moves at 6am on day two, you make one call.
February is peak season in Dubai and the strongest venues block out to corporate groups early. Six months out is comfortable. Four is not.
