Some places are more than destinations

When designing unforgettable incentive experiences, it’s the most authentic and impactful places that touch the soul, even in our personal time.

Handpicked for their authenticity, atmosphere, and emotional impact, these destinations reflect what great incentive travel is really about: creating moments that move, surprise, and continue to inspire long after the journey ends.

Whether you’re looking for fresh ideas, hidden gems, or simply a new perspective on the Adriatic, let us show you the places that inspire us first.

Our favourite destinations that spark creativity

Dubrovnik, Croatia — Nataša S. K.

“My favorite place is definitely Dubrovnik… I feel like Dubrovnik is my second home.”

Dubrovnik is famous for its UNESCO-listed Old Town, medieval walls, cobblestone streets, and iconic landmarks like the Rector’s and Sponza Palaces. It’s more than a destination, it’s a living postcard. With breathtaking views of the Adriatic, a vibrant cultural scene, and picturesque beaches, it offers endless incentive potential. From immersive medieval games and private tours of Game of Thrones filming locations to lively evenings by the sea, it’s no wonder Nataša feels right at home here.

Rovinj (Croatia), Piran (Slovenia) & Kotor (Montenegro) – Danijela R.

“Rovinj, Piran, and Kotor have completely won me over.”

Each town is a coastal gem — charming, walkable, and rich with character.

These destinations are known for their Venetian charm and well-preserved old towns. They blend medieval architecture, vibrant culture, and breathtaking waterfronts. For Danijela, it’s the timeless beauty and old-world romance that keep her coming back – qualities that make a lasting impact on every visitor.

Kranjska gora, Slovenia – Nataša K.

“Kranjska Gora is absolutely stunning. Its peaceful atmosphere makes it the perfect place for a short escape to disconnect and recharge.”

An alpine escape framed by mountains and tranquility. Throughout the seasons, Kranjska Gora invites you to slow down, breathe in fresh air, and enjoy peaceful moments. Crystal-clear lakes, forest trails, and scenic viewpoints create the perfect setting, whether for reflection, activity, or connection with nature. Thanks to its welcoming charm and restorative atmosphere, this is an ideal destination for groups seeking calm, clarity, and a breath of alpine inspiration.

Kornati Islands, Croatia – Petra S. H.

“My favorite spot in the Adriatic has to be the Kornati Islands. There’s nothing that makes me happier than being by the sea, whether it’s swimming or simply diving off a boat into the crystal-clear waters. Sailing around the islands, with their untouched beauty and peaceful surroundings, is pure bliss for me. It’s the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sea at its finest.”

A dazzling maze of over 100 uninhabited islets, the Kornati Islands offer one of the most breathtaking sailing experiences in the Adriatic. Crystal-clear waters, cliffs, and secluded bays make them ideal for nature-focused, wellness-driven, and truly memorable incentive programs. Whether it’s diving from a private yacht, exploring hidden coves, or hosting a lunch with panoramic views, the Kornati deliver peace, privacy, and pure Mediterranean magic.

Piran & Soča Valley, Slovenia – Tjaša V.

“Piran holds a special place in my heart – cosy, charming, like a second home, while the Soča Valley, with its rivers, streams, and hidden waterfalls, is nothing short of magical.”


Piran enchants with its Adriatic soul, a coastal gem where Venetian architecture, warm stone facades, and Mediterranean energy create a perfect setting for slow strolls, seaside dinners, and authentic cultural moments. Just a few hours away, the Soča Valley offers a complete contrast: untamed nature, emerald rivers, and hidden waterfalls turn every activity into an adventure.

Tara National Park, Serbia – Ivan K.

“Tara National Park has a special rhythm I keep coming back to. It’s wild, peaceful, and beautifully unspoiled. I always enjoy the sound of nature, hiking through pine forests, and breathing in that crisp, clean air. It’s become my reset button.”

Tara National Park is a pristine gem of western Serbia. It offers untouched nature, dramatic views, and pine forests that feel far from the everyday. Hike scenic trails, enjoy or simply breathe in the stillness that surrounds them. Thanks to the peaceful energy and authentic charm, Tara is perfect for team resets, off-the-grid retreats, or nature-led programs with long-lasting impact.

Fishtë, Albania – Uros S.

“There are agrotourism farms in Albania that are absolutely beautiful. The food is organic and delicious, and these places are truly made for enjoying it. I’m always thrilled when I visit them. My favourite is in Fishtë village.”

Fishtë, nestled in the Albanian countryside, is home to some of the region’s most charming agrotourism farms. Here, tradition, taste, and tranquility come together. They offer farm-to-table dining with organic, locally sourced food in tranquil surroundings. Ideal for incentive groups seeking something different, Fishtë invites slow travel, culinary storytelling, and meaningful connection. A perfect choice for intimate gatherings, food-focused programs, or nature-inspired retreats.

Vipava Valley, Slovenia – Mojca J. P.

“Savoring “dolce far niente” in the Vipava Valley with a glass of good wine.”

Tucked between the Alps and the Adriatic, Slovenia’s Vipava Valley invites you to slow down and savour the moment. With its sun-kissed vineyards, local wineries, and relaxed Mediterranean vibe, it’s the perfect setting for private tastings, scenic bike rides, and authentic farm-to-table experiences. Ideal for incentive groups seeking balance, beauty, and a glass of good local wine in a place where time gently pauses.

From our world to yours

Some places offer more than beautiful views, they leave a lasting impression. They slow us down, bring people closer, and offer space for something deeper to unfold.

The Adriatic has no shortage of those moments. We’ve explored its quiet corners, discovered its hidden places, and felt its rhythm, not just once, but again and again.

These are the destinations we return to when we want to create programs with meaning, not just memories. And if you’re after something your guests won’t just remember, but truly carry with them, we’re here to help make it happen.

Let’s craft an incentive experience that lingers long after the journey ends.
