Figma, the industry-leading collaborative design platform, recently executed a highly focused, two-day, one-night retreat for 10 key participants in Berlin. For a high-growth, remote-first company, aligning on strategic direction requires an environment that fosters deep concentration while also promoting genuine team connection. Naboo partnered with Figma to secure an exclusive private venue that addressed both of these critical objectives.
This corporate retreat was specifically designed to maximize strategic alignment for the small, high-value team. Naboo's streamlined platform and dedicated event manager, Mia Evans, simplified the logistics of booking the accommodation, catering, and a unique team-building activity. By delegating the complexity of venue sourcing and vendor coordination, the Figma team was free to focus entirely on their internal agenda from the moment they arrived.
The successful planning of this corporate retreat demonstrates Naboo's ability to identify and secure unique, high-impact locations for companies aiming for strategic focus. Whether your team requires the prestige of a executive Retreat in a House or the efficient setting of a Retreat in the City, Naboo offers a curated platform to match your vision.

Villa Zesch: A unique setting for strategic focus
The secluded Villa Zesch provided the ideal environment for the Figma team's gathering. Located just outside Berlin, the venue offered the perfect balance of easy regional accessibility with the profound sense of detachment necessary for an intensive strategy session. The property itself is a substantial, sophisticated private house, offering both ample, flexible meeting spaces and quality private accommodation, making it perfectly suited for a discreet corporate offsite.
The logistics for the 10-person group were managed with precision, ensuring the focus remained on the team's goals. The venue provided high-quality accommodation with 10 private rooms and multiple spaces for plenary and breakout sessions. Crucially, Naboo coordinated full premium catering—including all meals—and organized Archery as the primary team activity. This high level of logistical support ensured the retreat flowed smoothly, providing everything the team needed on-site.
