Few places are better than the Northeast if you’re looking for the best company retreat destinations. Its unique features – from bustling city centers to gorgeous coastline and outdoor adventures – is easily accessible and brings a sense of wonder, adventure, and enthusiasm that will certainly balance out the seriousness of any workplace responsibilities.
From New York to Philadelphia, we did some research and came up with the best company offsite destinations the Northeast has to offer.
New York City, NY
What’s a visit to the Northeast without a stop in the Big Apple? Home to over 8 million people, New York City is a bustling hub of entertainment, fine dining, art, and, yes, even nature! From Central Park and Riverside Park to The High Line Park and New York Botanical Garden, there are tons of spots to recharge and enjoy the scenery. The city is also the headquarters of renowned companies such as American Express, Calvin Klein, HBO, JetBlue, and WeWork. With plenty of famous attractions and great places to eat and drink, your team will not be at a loss for things to do in the city that never sleeps.
The Hamptons
Located on eastern Long Island's South Fork, the Hamptons is made up of a string of seaside communities and is a popular destination for New York City residents. Take your team for a bike along the shoreline before exploring the quaint interior farmland, towns and villages. One of the best things to do in the Hamptons is to explore downtown Sag Harbor and its various shops and eateries, including plenty of delicious fresh seafood! Peppered with 18th-century shingle buildings and gorgeous estates, the Hamptons is easily one of the best company offsite destinations.
The Catskills
New York is so much more than Manhattan, and if your team is looking for a more peaceful retreat, look no further than the Catskill region. A few hours drive from NYC, the Catskill Mountains lie in southeastern New York State. Explore the beauty of Kaaterskill Falls and take a hike along one of the many trails, including Black Dome, Devil’s Path, and Huckleberry Point. Then, treat your team to a drink at one of the more than 205 cideries and wineries in the Catskills. Bring your team together with the right amount of inspiration and adventure in one of the most beautiful areas of the country.
Boston, MA
You’ll keep wanting to have your company offsites in Boston the moment your team sets foot in Beantown. From touring the Museum of Fine Arts to catching a game at Fenway Park, Boston is filled with fun activities. Be sure to stop at the place where everybody knows your name – that’s right! – the original Cheers bar is still open in the city’s posh Beacon Hill neighborhood. The Freedom Trail, Boston Common, and Faneuil Hall are other hotspots worth checking out.
New England
Comprising six states including Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Maine, New England is a beautiful choice year-round for your next team retreat. Any time of year lends itself to a host of fun activities… but the colors of autumn are truly unbeatable in this region. This area is full of hikes, quaint towns and villages, delectable cuisine, and historic sites. We recommend Portsmouth, NH, Kennebunkport, ME, Burlington, VT, and Bristol, CT to name a few!
Coastal retreats
If you have a team that loves being by the water, the Northeast offers tons of coastal retreats. From Cape May, NJ to Cape Cod, MA, you and your team can opt for sailing lessons or admire the coastline from land. The small towns that dot the Atlantic Coast will definitely appeal to all attendees, leaving everyone feeling rested and excited for future endeavors.
