How can companies leverage vacation cottages to enhance employee wellbeing?

Villa holidays offer companies an efficient and versatile way to promote workplace well-being in a natural environment. Quality villa accommodation combined with meaningful activities helps employees disconnect from everyday routines, reduces stress, and strengthens team spirit. In Premium Resorts’ luxury villas, companies can organize strategy days, development discussions, recreational events, and team days in an environment that supports both efficient work and leisure activities. A villa holiday is an investment in staff well-being that pays for itself through improved workplace atmosphere and productivity.

Why are villa holidays effective in promoting workplace well-being?

Villa holidays are effective in promoting workplace well-being because they offer a comprehensive break from the work environment. A nature-rich setting helps reduce stress and promotes relaxation in ways that aren’t possible in an office environment or conventional meeting spaces.

The natural elements of the villa environment – such as forests, lakes, and fresh air – activate creative thinking and help employees recover from work-related stress. Research shows that natural environments reduce stress hormone levels in the body and improve concentration. This leads to better problem-solving abilities and more innovative ideas.

At Premium Resorts’ luxury villas in Vierumäki, these benefits combine with high-quality accommodation. Our modern log villas are designed to support both communal activities and sufficient privacy. Equipment ranging from top-class kitchens to atmospheric saunas and outdoor hot tubs ensures that employees feel valued and genuinely refreshed.

The diverse activity options in the Vierumäki area also support physical well-being, which is an essential part of comprehensive workplace wellness. Golf courses, ski trails, padel courts, and numerous other exercise opportunities offer something for everyone, enhancing the positive effects of the villa holiday.

How does a villa holiday strengthen team spirit?

A villa holiday strengthens team spirit by creating a unique environment for genuine interaction. When employees spend time together outside the formal work environment, they get to know each other more deeply and build stronger personal connections, which positively reflects on workplace collaboration.

The spacious common areas in Premium Resorts’ villas are designed to support togetherness. Spacious living rooms and dining areas allow the entire team to gather together, while functional kitchen spaces encourage shared cooking experiences. A meal prepared together is an excellent way to strengthen unity and build trust between team members.

Particularly the sauna facilities and outdoor hot tubs provide a relaxing environment for free conversation, where valuable ideas and insights often emerge. In these informal situations, employees dare to share their thoughts more openly than in the office.

The Vierumäki environment offers diverse opportunities for joint activities throughout the year:

  • In summer: team competitions, golf, padel, disc golf, or stand-up paddleboarding
  • In winter: skiing trips, snowshoeing, or curling
  • Year-round: Flow Park adventure park, archery, and guided fitness classes

Shared experiences and fun memories from activities strengthen team cohesion in a way that persists long after the villa holiday and manifests as improved cooperation in everyday work tasks.

What types of workplace well-being events are suitable for a villa environment?

The villa environment is excellently suited for diverse workplace well-being events that require both concentration and relaxation. Villas are particularly well-suited for events where official programming and informal socializing need to be seamlessly integrated.

Strategy days are a classic example of an event suitable for a villa. The peaceful environment without external distractions enables deep focus on the company’s future. Premium Resorts’ villas have the necessary technology for efficient work: fast internet connections and large TV screens for wireless presentation display.

Team development days benefit significantly from the relaxing effect of the villa environment. When the atmosphere is relaxed, employees dare to share their views on group dynamics and potential areas for improvement more openly. This leads to more authentic dialogue and more concrete development results.

Recovery retreats are a growing trend in corporate well-being programs. The sauna facilities, outdoor hot tubs, and natural environment of Premium Resorts’ villas provide the perfect setting for stress recovery and supporting employees’ comprehensive well-being.

Additionally, the villa environment is excellently suited for:

  • Kick-off events at the beginning of a new season
  • Reward and celebration events
  • Innovation workshops and brainstorming sessions
  • Team building days and group bonding exercises

Premium Resorts’ flexible facilities enable customization of events. For example, in Vierumäki, we can offer solutions of various sizes from smaller teams all the way to the Mammoth Lodge, which has space for several dozen guests.

What practical benefits does a company gain from villa holidays?

Companies gain measurable business benefits from villa holidays that extend beyond individual events. These benefits make villa rentals a worthwhile investment that pays for itself through improved workplace well-being and productivity.

Increased employee satisfaction is the clearest immediate benefit. A quality villa in a relaxing environment communicates that the company values its staff and wants to invest in their well-being. This increases employee commitment and motivation, which directly reflects in better work performance.

In the long term, villa events can help reduce sick leave. Lower stress levels and better recovery help employees cope better with everyday work pressures. Additionally, the strengthened team spirit supports psychological safety in the workplace, which research has shown to be connected to better workplace well-being.

Employee retention is one of the most significant benefits. Recruitment costs are substantial, so every committed employee brings savings to the company. Regular, high-quality workplace well-being events at Premium Resorts’ villas serve as an effective retention tool.

Improvement in employer image is critical in competing for the best talent. A company known for investing in workplace well-being and quality staff events attracts better job applicants. Using Premium Resorts’ luxury villas for corporate events communicates a quality employer experience.

Compared to conventional meeting spaces, Premium Resorts’ villas offer:

  • Privacy and perfect concentration
  • Flexibility in schedules and programming
  • Unique spaces that support both official and unofficial programs
  • The opportunity to seamlessly combine meetings and accommodation
