What does ‘Teambuilding activities’ mean to you? A grim survival course on rain-swept moors? Boring role-playing exercises? It really isn’t like that any more…

If you want to inspire, motivate and reward your staff, whisk them off to sunny Malaga on Spain’s Costa del Sol and treat them to one – or more – of these fun teambuilding activities:

1. Beach Games. Enjoy the famous Costa del Sol beaches while taking part in Mini Beach Olympics, raft building or a waterside treasure hunt.

2. Mountain Adventure. Rock climbing, abseiling, and other activities in beautiful surroundings. (No experience needed)

3. 4×4 Mountain Safari. Explore the stunning coastal mountains in a less energetic way with a local guide who knows all the best views.

4. Flamenco Dance Workshop. You won’t be expected to master the Flamenco in one session, but it will be fun trying!

5. Movie Making. Divide your group into teams and compete to produce the best short video. All equipment and technical help is provided.

6. Painting Workshop. Forget about workplace stress as you create your own work of art in the shadow of Picasso.

7. Paintballing. A paint encounter of a different kind! Action and excitement in a picturesque mountain location.

8. Country Club Day. Try a wide range of sports and team activities in the lush Spanish countryside.

9. Canyon Adventure. Waterfalls, pools and optional cliff jumps for the brave! Safety equipment and experienced guides supplied.

10. Wine and Tapas. For a taste of the real Spain visit a charming white village to learn about – and sample – the Vino and Tapas Culture.

Team activities in Malaga: there is so much more to them than meets the eye, not least the stunning location that brings the sea front scene, the mountains and the idyllic village scenery together as an attractive background. For Malaga team building activities that will inspire and leave a lasting impression, head to the Costa del Sol’s capital city.

Hotel Conference Venues Costa del Sol

The resorts of the Costa del Sol in Spain have long been favourite destinations for those who want to take a break in the sun. But that’s not all this area of Spain has to offer: the sunshine coast also makes an ideal place to mix business with pleasure, so all the resorts have great hotel conference venues to attract delegates.

They can be reached easily from the airport at Malaga, with flights to and from the UK and other countries all day every day. Fast rail links make easy travelling between the Costa del Sol and other areas of Spain.

A few miles from the airport, in the city of Malaga, the Hotel MS Maestranza Malaga is perfect for a small conference venue, offering an exceptionally central location with views over Malaga’s famous bull ring and with the attractive backdrop of the city’s stunning walled fortress, the Alcazaba.

There are also plenty of beachside hotel conference venues to choose from further along the Costa del Sol. Head south west to the next main resort of Torremolinos and in the heart of desirable La Carihuela you’ll find the four star Hotel Tropicana right beside the sea. This will take up to 130 delegates.

For a major conference needing seating for up to 1600, the five star Hotel Torrequebrada at Benalmádena is just a few miles further along the coast and offers a central location which is excellent for golf, if indeed that is on the cards for extra curricular activity.

Just a little bit further along the coast you’ll come across Fuengirola where there is a wide range of hotel conference venues and then continuing on west you’ll reach Marbella and hit a whole host of possibilities, from the renowned Guadalpin chain to the Fuerte group and of course the Gran Melia Don Pepe, well known for its extensive hotel conference facilities.

Why not try out the Costa del Sol for your hotel conference venue this year? Many resorts; many hotels; many possibilities.

Barcelona offers a multitude of venues for client meetings, presentations, team meetings, incentive days, AGMs, conferences and exhibitions. Looking to hire meeting rooms in Barcelona?

Location, Location, Location

If you are planning a business meeting in Barcelona, the first thing to consider is location. If people are arriving by air, time is of the essence and they want to get away quickly, you’ll find what you need close to the airport which is about a 20 minute transfer to the city. For example, the four-star Tryp Barcelona Aeropuerto has several meeting rooms for hire in varying sizes, the smallest suitable for up to eight people.

On the other hand, if you want to give your guests, delegates or staff an experience of the city, pick a venue close to the centre or in one of the recognised business disctricts.

Purpose built examples include The Regus World Trade Center at the end of the ultra famous Las Ramblas in the old port area and the Euro Business Centre near the Placa d’Espana in Sant-Montjuic. The impressive Hotel Rey Juan Carlos I in Les Corts offers packages for ‘Small Luxury Meetings’; ‘Green Meetings’ to cut your carbon footprint and just generally make you feel better about your trip; and outdoor meeting spaces in delightful gardens to inspire and enhance meeting productivity.

Whatever your needs for meeting rooms for hire in Barcelona, call on a reputable professional conference coordinator like Conference Coordinator Spain who have established relationships with the various venues and therefore power to negotiate lower charges, saving you money along with valuable time.
