# Overnight at the Farm

> Twenty-four hours away. Facilitated sessions, a bonfire, and the conversations that only happen after dark.

Package C-02 from Offsyte, corporate recreation in the UAE · [Farmhouse & Retreat](https://offsyte.ae/catalog/farmhouse-and-retreat-days/) · Web page: https://offsyte.ae/packages/overnight-at-the-farm/

- **Duration:** 24 hrs (overnight)

- **Departure window:** 12:00–15:00 day one
- **Group size:** 20 min — 40 max
- **Emirate / venue:** Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah or Umm Al Quwain

## Price per person, excluding 5% VAT

| Group size | Per person | Billed for at least |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| 20–29 people | AED 1,170 | 22 people |
| 30–40 people | AED 1,070 | — |

A group smaller than a band's "billed for at least" figure is still served, and is invoiced for that many people.
Where a larger band costs less in total, it is quoted instead: groups of 28–29 are billed as 30 people at the rate for 30–40 people.

Payment: 50% advance on signature. 100% cleared 3 working days before the event. Numbers lock 7 days prior.

## Why this is not the retail version

Booking a farmhouse yourself costs **AED 1,200–3,500 a night**. You get keys to an empty property, and one person on your team spends the whole trip being the unpaid event manager instead of participating.

Here the property is exclusive, the programme is designed and facilitated, all three meals are catered, and two coordinators stay on site overnight so nobody from your company has to be on duty.

**The overnight format is the actual product.** Day-long offsites produce polite conversation. The bonfire at 21:00 on day one is where the team actually talks — and that is what leadership is buying.
