All-Inclusive Means All-Inclusive: The Elsewhere Way

When most people hear “all-inclusive,” they think of buffets or holiday packages. But in the world of corporate retreats, “all-inclusive” has been watered down into something else entirely.

Hotels will advertise packages — then charge extra for every breakout room, every flipchart, every screen. Agents will promise end-to-end service — then hand you a spreadsheet of line items and “optional” upgrades. Before you know it, the budget you signed off has doubled, and you’re spending more time policing invoices than preparing your team.

At Elsewhere, we decided to tear that playbook up.

All-inclusive really means all-inclusive.

No Hidden Extras

When you go Elsewhere, you don’t get drip-charged. You don’t get nickel-and-dimed for flipcharts, coffee stations, or “extra rooms.” You get an environment built for your team, with everything included by design.

  • Workshop shape as standard → plenary space, multiple breakout rooms, and creative nooks are included, not rationed.

  • Tools that belong → writable walls, pin-boards, and screens ready to go.

  • Spaces that flex → indoor and outdoor zones, firepits, gardens, barns, and terraces designed for parallel sessions and natural resets.

What others call “extras” are simply how we work.

The Red Carpet Treatment

All-inclusive doesn’t just apply to spaces and logistics. It’s about how we treat people.

From first call to final firepit, your team is met with stewardship, not service. We handle the details, but more importantly, we hold the experience. That means:

  • Curation, not just booking → venues selected for resonance, not availability.

  • Facilitation, not just schedules → guiding your team through moments of alignment and play.

  • End-to-end flow → every touchpoint designed so the retreat feels seamless, not segmented.

It’s not about delivering “what you paid for.” It’s about ensuring everyone feels looked after, from arrival to departure.

Why We Refuse Line Items

Line items kill resonance. They reduce the experience to transactions instead of transformation.

When every extra breakout room, every pot of coffee, every whiteboard is priced separately, you create friction. Teams notice it. Leaders feel it. The event becomes a negotiation instead of a reset.

At Elsewhere, there are no line items. You pay for the field, and the field is whole.

All-Inclusive as an Operating Principle

“All-inclusive” for us isn’t a pricing trick. It’s an operating principle:

  • Transparency → You know the price. That’s the price.

  • Coherence → Everything is included so everything flows.

  • Resonance → No distractions, no detours, just energy focused on what matters.

It’s why teams leave Elsewhere feeling not just refreshed, but realigned. They’ve stepped into a space where nothing jars, nothing feels bolted on.

Closing

All-inclusive means all-inclusive.

No hidden extras.

No line items.

No surprises.

Just one coherent experience, stewarded end-to-end, with your team at the centre.

✨ That’s the Elsewhere way: red carpet, from start to finish.
