Executive Retreat Venue
A Private Space
For Executive retreat
Narbuli is a private countryside retreat venue in Latvia, available for exclusive hire by organisations and retreat organisers. A setting where senior leaders and executive teams come to think clearly, make better decisions, and reconnect with what matters.
Not a Conference Centre.
A Leadership Retreat Venue.
Narbuli was built for depth, not efficiency. It is a private retreat house in Latvia’s countryside — perched on a hilltop overlooking a forest lake, surrounded by ancient woodland, far from the noise and distraction of any city. When senior leaders and executive teams come here, they arrive into conditions that make genuinely important thinking possible.
If you are looking for the best place to host a retreat for your leadership team — a setting that communicates seriousness, invites reflection, and removes all the friction that prevents real conversation — Narbuli is worth your attention.
What Makes This an Exceptional
Executive Retreat Venue
Completely Private
When you hire Narbuli, the entire house is yours. No other groups, no shared facilities with strangers, no interruptions. The kind of privacy that senior leaders rarely experience — and genuinely need for substantive work.
Countryside Immersion
One of Europe’s most distinctive private countryside retreats — set within an eco-settlement in central Latvia. Forest, lake, clean air, and the kind of quiet that slows the mind down enough to actually think.
Archetypal Rooms
Nine rooms inspired by Jungian archetypes — King, Warrior, Magician, and others. Each carries a distinct energy. For leadership retreats, the environment participants sleep and live in shapes how they show up in the room.
Bring Your Own Agenda
Narbuli does not impose a programme. You bring your facilitators, your objectives, your structure. We provide the space, the food, the sauna, and everything that supports sustained focus over multiple days.
Accessible from Across Europe
Direct flights to Riga from London, Berlin, Stockholm, Oslo, Amsterdam, Zürich, and 30+ other European cities. Two hours from the airport to a setting that feels genuinely removed from ordinary life.
Everything Taken Care Of
Meals prepared with local ingredients, wood-fired sauna, clean rooms, an attentive host team. Nothing to organise on-site. Your team’s full attention stays on the work — not the logistics.
Spaces That Support
Serious Work
Four floors of considered space — from communal rooms for group sessions to private corners for individual reflection. Every part of the house has been designed to support depth.

Your Team Arrives
Participants arrive into a private countryside setting, fully prepared and ready. The house, the food, the sauna — all of it is waiting. The transition from work mode to retreat mode begins on arrival.
You Lead, We Support
We remain in the background — managing the house, preparing meals, keeping everything running. Your team’s energy goes entirely into the retreat itself.
Your Team Returns Different
Not energised in a superficial way — but genuinely clearer, more aligned, and more capable of doing the work that actually matters. That is what good executive retreats produce.
Formats That Work

A private countryside retreat with the space and structure for genuine strategic thinking. Away from the office, the inbox, and the operational noise — your team can finally engage with the questions that actually determine where you are headed.
6–18 participantsTeam Building Retreat
Not an activity day. A multi-day team building venue experience where people live, eat, think, and rest together over several days — and leave with the kind of trust and mutual understanding that no workshop can manufacture.
8–18 participantsFounder & CEO Retreat
For individual executives or small groups of peers who need time away from their organisations to think about the bigger questions. Solitude with structure — and the option of facilitated coaching if required.

Why Countryside
Makes the Difference
There is good research on what happens to cognition, creativity, and emotional regulation when people spend time in natural environments. Narbuli sits within Latvia’s Amatciems eco-settlement — ancient forests, a pristine lake, clean air, and complete acoustic quiet. The setting is not incidental. It is part of why the retreat works.
- Ancient pine and birch forests — 10 minutes from the front door
- A forest lake with a pier, visible from most rooms
- Traditional wood-fired sauna for evening decompression
- Outdoor spaces on every level for thinking between sessions
- No urban noise — the quiet is real, not managed
- Clean air and natural light that measurably improve sleep quality
- Four distinct seasons — each with its own quality of atmosphere
“We have tried conference venues, boutique hotels, and various offsite formats over the years. Narbuli was the first time our leadership team actually arrived somewhere and stayed there — mentally. The forest, the rooms, the absence of distraction. It changed what was possible in the room.”— CEO, Strategy Offsite · 10 senior leaders from Germany and the UK
