Allinge Badehotel garden party retreat

Company Retreats

An entire MICHELIN Key hotel on a Baltic Sea island.

From October through March, the tourists leave Bornholm and the island becomes something else entirely. Quieter. Darker at the edges. The kind of place where a walk along the coast clears your head in a way no conference room ever will.

During these months, Allinge Badehotel is available for exclusive use by companies and teams. All 24 rooms, the dining room, the garden, the sea. No other guests. No lobby traffic. Just your people and a 250-year-old building on the Baltic.

We are not a conference hotel. There are no projector screens bolted to the ceiling or motivational posters in the hallway. What there is: a beautiful setting, good food, reliable Wi-Fi, and the kind of quiet that makes real conversation possible. For many teams, that turns out to be more productive than any amount of AV equipment.

What we offer

The hotel

24 individually designed rooms accommodating up to 53 guests in a building dating to 1774. A mix of doubles, twins, and suites, including the Countess Danner Suite with a sitting room and sea views. Every room has been renovated with furnishings by Danish designers, while preserving the original timber framing and character of the building.

Breakfast

Organic breakfast each morning from local Bornholm producers. For lunch and dinner, we are happy to help with recommendations and reservations at Allinge's excellent restaurants within walking distance. We can also arrange catering for your stay.

Working spaces

Our dining room seats up to 30 and works well for all-hands sessions, presentations, or working meals. For smaller breakouts, several of our common areas and the garden (weather permitting) can be used informally. From 2026, we also partner with a dedicated conference venue in Allinge, a short walk from the hotel, offering professional meeting spaces for up to 150 people with full AV equipment.

Connectivity

Complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the hotel. We have tested it with video calls running simultaneously across multiple rooms. It works.

Beyond the hotel

Complimentary bicycles for the team. Walking access to coastal trails and Næs beach. Hammershus, Northern Europe's largest medieval fortress ruin, is a ten-minute drive. We can help arrange group activities including guided hikes, visits to local ceramicists and glassblowers, smoked fish tastings, and boat excursions along the coast.

Why Bornholm

Most offsite destinations try to balance accessibility with escape. Bornholm does something unusual: it gives you both.

The island is a 35-minute flight from Copenhagen, or about three hours by car and ferry. That is close enough to be practical for a team flying in from across Europe, but far enough that once you arrive, the outside world recedes. No popping out to another meeting. No one slipping away to the office. You are on an island in the Baltic Sea, and that fact shapes the days in a way that a countryside hotel an hour from the airport simply cannot.

Bornholm in the off-season

Bornholm in the off-season is a particular thing. The summer crowds are gone. The light is dramatic and low. The restaurants that stay open are the ones run by people who live here year-round and cook with serious intention. The landscape, always striking, becomes almost cinematic: granite cliffs, dark forests, empty beaches, and a sea that changes character by the hour.

On Bornholm you are surrounded by water. You cannot get out. And when you cannot get out, you move inward.

— Jørn Duus, via Group Bornholm

Who this is for

We tend to work best with teams of 10 to 40 people. Companies that have done their offsites at generic city hotels and want something with more character. Leadership teams that need a few days of uninterrupted thinking. Remote or distributed teams meeting in person for the first time in months.

Our past guests have included technology companies, design studios, consulting firms, and nonprofit teams. What they have in common is a preference for substance over spectacle. If your team would rather eat a long dinner together than attend a ropes course, we are probably a good fit.

Getting your team here

Bornholm has its own airport (RNN) in Rønne, with direct flights from Copenhagen taking about 35 minutes. DAT (Danish Air Transport) operates multiple flights daily. For groups, this is usually the simplest option.

Alternatively, you can drive or take a bus from Copenhagen across the Øresund Bridge to Ystad in Sweden (about one hour), then board the Bornholmslinjen ferry to Rønne (80 minutes by fast ferry). The total journey is roughly three hours and works well for teams that want to travel together.

There is also a night ferry from Køge, south of Copenhagen, departing at 12:30 AM and arriving in Rønne at 6:00 AM. From Rønne, Allinge is a 25-minute drive north. We can help coordinate group transfers.

Pricing and booking

Exclusive-use rates depend on group size, duration, and catering requirements. A typical three-night retreat for a team of 20 includes accommodation, breakfast, and use of all hotel spaces. Lunch, dinner, activities, and conference venue hire can be added. We are flexible and prefer to build proposals around what your team actually needs rather than offering fixed packages. Tell us about your group and we will put something together.

Questions we hear often

Can we book the entire hotel exclusively for our team?

Yes. From October through March, the hotel is available for exclusive use. Your team will be the only guests. During our regular season (May through September), exclusive bookings are possible but subject to availability.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We can accommodate groups from 8 to 53 people (24 rooms, most of which are doubles, accommodating up to 53 guests when rooms are shared). For groups smaller than 8, exclusive use may still be possible depending on dates. For groups larger than 53, we can work with partner accommodations nearby.

Is there a dedicated meeting room?

Our dining room can be configured for meetings, presentations, and workshops for up to 30 people. For larger groups or more formal setups, we partner with a conference venue in Allinge that seats up to 150 and includes full AV equipment. It is a short walk from the hotel.

How reliable is the Wi-Fi?

We have high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, sufficient for video conferencing across multiple rooms simultaneously. If your retreat has specific technical requirements, let us know in advance and we will make sure everything is in place.

Can you arrange meals beyond breakfast?

Yes. We work with you to plan a full catering program for your stay. This can range from casual shared lunches to formal multi-course dinners using local Bornholm ingredients. We accommodate all dietary requirements.

How do we get a team of 20+ people to Bornholm?

The simplest option is flying from Copenhagen to Bornholm's Rønne Airport (35 minutes, multiple daily flights). Alternatively, groups can travel together by bus or car across the Øresund Bridge to Ystad, Sweden, then take the 80-minute fast ferry to Rønne. We can help coordinate group logistics and airport or ferry transfers.

What team activities can you arrange?

We can organize guided coastal hikes, visits to Bornholm's ceramicists and glassblowers, smoked fish tastings, boat excursions, visits to Hammershus fortress, and bike tours of the island. Let us know what your team enjoys and we will put together options.

What is the cancellation policy for group bookings?

Group bookings have a separate cancellation policy from individual stays. We will outline the terms clearly in your proposal. Generally, we ask for a deposit to confirm the booking, with the balance due closer to the stay.

Is Bornholm accessible in winter?

Yes. Flights from Copenhagen operate year-round, and ferries run daily even in the off-season (3 to 6 departures per day from Ystad). The island is quieter in winter, which is precisely the point.

What makes this different from a conference hotel?

Everything. There is no ballroom, no breakout pods with whiteboards, no hotel bar with a corporate happy hour. Instead, there is a 250-year-old building on the Baltic Sea, an organic breakfast table, a garden with sea views, bicycles, and a coastline that has been clearing people's heads for centuries. Some of the best work happens when you stop trying to optimize the environment for work.
