An intensive work week combined with a bit of adventure.
At Refuga Spain you will get a chance of talking, working and living with other entrepreneurs for a week. This event is for you, who want to get things done and enjoy talks and feedback sessions combined with a bit of adventure.
We will be located in a remote house in the mountains with good wifi, a big workspace, several lounges, mountain bikes, cool outside areas and a nice pool. For a week you won’t have to think about practical things. Our Spanish chef will make local dishes for us, and you will have the time to concentrate and learning from the other participants.

We’ve been going to this area and this villa since 2012 and it’s one of our favorite places in the world. Our villa is located 15 min from a village up on top of a small mountain, with a great view and an amazing silence.
Over the years we have brought over 30 nationalities on this trip and we have enjoyed amazing talks, sessions, discussion, sunrise hikes and Spanish food.

We welcome all kinds of people on our Refuga trips. The most essential key is to have an entrepreneurial and positive mindset. We have a lot of incredibly accomplished entrepreneurs joining us, but also some aspiring entrepreneurs.
Being an entrepreneur or an aspiring entrepreneur does not mean you need to have a business or to start a business. It means you have an open mindset, a position in your work where you have the ability and desire to change things for the better. It could be within these fields: leadership, project management, innovation, strategies etc.
Everything is volunteer. We do recommend you join our custom made program during the week, to get the ultimate experience. There will be plenty of time in between sessions and activities to relax, work or to do whatever you feel like.
It is always good to be prepared. Everything you need to prepare, we will let you know in decent time before the trip. It would be things like, what are your expectations, what are your contribution in this group, what challenges do have, and which have you conquered etc.
Before all of our trips, we create a Facebook group for all the participants to engage. This will happen around one month before the trip. We will send out emails and let you know when time is.
