Weekend away with a large group? With this checklist you will find the perfect location

Are you planning to go away for a weekend with a large group? A weekend of fun, making memories and laughing until your stomach muscles protest. The whole shebang. Before the fuss starts, there is a lot of organization to be done. Because, how on earth do you find the perfect location for a group of thirty people (or even more)? With this checklist you are guaranteed to find the ideal spot.

How big should the accommodation be?

How big should the accommodation be?

The first step is to estimate the size. If you are going out with a large group, you don't want to be crammed together. Is it a group of 25 or more? Then look at holiday homes for 30 people to ensure you are looking at accommodations that offer enough bedrooms and bathrooms for a comfortable stay for everyone.

Black: Check if there is enough space, both inside and outside, for everyone to relax and enjoy. Then you know for sure that the basics are right.

What type of accommodation suits the group?

What type of accommodation suits the group?

Not everyone likes the same style. Maybe the younger ones in the group want something adventurous, while there are also a few who enjoy luxury and comfort. 

So? Together, consider what type of accommodation everyone wants. Perhaps a spacious farmhouse, a country house, or a holiday park with multiple chalets? Also, be extra alert to whether special facilities are needed, such as a children's corner, a large kitchen, or even a jacuzzi with a swimming pool.

Tip: Make a list in advance of amenities that are important to the group.

Choose the right location

Choose the right location

Is it the tranquility of nature, with many walking and cycling opportunities, or a lively place close to a city? The location determines everything. 

In addition, accessibility is often an important issue. For example, if there are people who come from far away, it is smart to ensure that the location is not too remote. After all, it is only for a weekend away! 

Finally, think carefully about the activities in the area: can you plan a day trip to a nice city or an adventurous activity?

Budget and cost sharing

Budget and cost sharing

For a large group, clear cost separation can save a lot of unnecessary stress, chaos and awkwardness. So agree in advance on what the budget is and who pays for what.

Are there any extra costs for bed linen, cleaning costs or deposit? Are there any special activities that require a contribution? It helps if you are transparent about this. That way everyone knows what to expect and there are no surprises afterwards!
