House of Ionara creates private, fully curated offsites for founders, leadership teams and creative companies along the Albanian Riviera.
House of Ionara designs private offsites shaped around the people attending, the conversations that need space and the rhythm the team needs.
From property selection and private transport to dining, local experiences and on-the-ground hosting, every element is considered as one complete experience.
Private villas and distinctive properties selected for privacy, atmosphere and comfort.
Spaces and rhythms designed for strategy, creative work and meaningful decisions.
Long dinners, thoughtful hosting and settings that make conversation feel natural.
Sea, villages, food and local experiences curated without overwhelming the schedule.
A focused day or overnight for teams who need to step away, breathe, and reconnect — without losing a full week of momentum.
Built for teams that need to actually get work done — strategy, planning, alignment — in a setting that makes people want to contribute.
For leadership teams and milestone moments. A fully bespoke, multi-day retreat woven into the Riviera itself.
Every retreat is scoped and priced around your team, dates and goals.
Private arrival, villa check-in and a long dinner overlooking the coast.
Morning strategy session, local lunch and an afternoon at sea.
Focused workshop, village visit and a private sunset dinner.
Slow breakfast, closing conversation and private departure.
Every offsite is designed from scratch. This is one possible rhythm, not a fixed itinerary.
The Albanian Riviera offers striking landscapes, privacy, cultural depth and an ease of movement that allows several distinct experiences to exist within one stay.
A coastline that still allows space, quiet and discretion.
A destination that feels new without feeling inaccessible.
Sea, villages, mountains, food and culture within close reach.
We understand the purpose of the offsite, the people attending and the desired pace.
We shape the setting, rhythm and central idea of the stay.
We coordinate property, transport, dining, activities and local partners.
We manage the details on the ground so the experience feels effortless.

House of Ionara was founded by Soufiane El Ouaar after spending time between Belgium, Southern Europe and Albania. The idea began with a simple observation: the most meaningful conversations rarely happen in ordinary settings.
House of Ionara brings together a personal eye for place, hospitality and detail to create offsites that feel considered rather than programmed.
Every offsite is designed and hosted personally — on the ground, with your team, from arrival to departure. We take on a limited number of offsites each season, so each one receives our full attention.
Tell us what your team needs from the time away. Every inquiry is personally reviewed.
