#2 Lisbon: incentive for a tech startup's sales team
Three days of local immersion, entrepreneurial spirit and sunny rhythms for 20 sales representatives.
Objective
Reward a high-performing sales team with a convivial, informal and warm thank-you trip.
Create a sense of intimacy, bonding and collective pleasure in a sunny destination, while offering immersion in authentic Portuguese culture, far from standardized formats.
The watchword: keep it simple, but beautiful.
Day 1 - A house for the team in the heart of LISBON
The entire group is welcomed into a privatized palacio in the heart of Graça - one of Lisbon's liveliest and still authentic neighborhoods. This historic building, transformed into a designer guesthouse, retains its moldings, azulejos and secret garden. Once through the gates, the atmosphere changes: you feel right at home.
The palacio becomes a large communal house, where staff share breakfasts on the terrace, chat by the pool or sit together in the lounge for a quiet moment.
Day 2 - Gourmet immersion and living culture
The trip kicks off with a fun, unifying activity: a Portuguese cooking workshop at a local school.
Everyone pitches in - literally - to learn how to make their own pastéis de nata, while discovering the secrets of perfect puff pastry and vanilla cream.
The atmosphere is joyful, the gestures awkward and the laughter abundant.
In the evening, dinner is organized in a small revisited tasca, with inventive, locavore cuisine. No big, impersonal rooms: here, the chef comes to talk about his dishes, and the team shares plates in a relaxed atmosphere. After dinner, you're free to roam Lisbon's nightclubs... of course!
Day 3 - Sport, beach and team spirit
The next day, off to the Costa da Caparica, on the ocean side.
A surfing course is organized on an uncrowded beach, with French-speaking instructors and equipment suitable for all levels. The sun is out and the first waves are shy, but the desire to try is there - and the sea becomes the team's best playground. As they emerge from the water, their feet still wet, the employees join a fisherman's hut entirely privatized for the occasion.
Lunch with your feet in the sand: fish grilled à la minute, chilled white wines and playlists chosen in turn.
The afternoon ends on deckchairs, with naps, baths and laughter.
For the last evening, there's no big hall or restaurant. A private chef comes to cook at the palacio. A candlelit dinner on the terrace, with soft music and long conversations. The group is no longer just a team: it becomes a band of friends. And that was exactly the intention.
