Step Out Of the Ordinary
Corporate Retreats
Nestled in the heart of Wicklow’s captivating landscapes, The Deerstone offers an exclusive retreat experience designed to elevate team connection, creativity, and well-being. As Ireland’s premier sustainable destination, The Deerstone combines A1-rated luxury accommodation with a commitment to eco-friendly practices, creating a refined sanctuary that reflects both excellence and care for the planet.
The Venue
A key highlight of The Deerstone experience is the Roundhouse, a circular meeting and event space uniquely designed to foster inclusivity, open dialogue, and productivity. The circular layout encourages collaboration, placing everyone on equal footing without a designated head of the table. In this inspiring setting, hierarchies dissolve, and creativity flourishes as each voice feels equally valued and heard. Research shows that round spaces promote group cohesion and boost creative problem-solving – making the Roundhouse the ideal setting for strategic planning, team-building, and innovation.
The Experience
Throughout their stay, groups enjoy exclusive access to the entire retreat, allowing ample opportunities to come together in shared spaces and connect as a team. From strategic sessions in the Roundhouse to immersive nature walks in Wicklow’s lush forests, The Deerstone provides a seamless balance of collaborative moments and tranquil personal reflection. Team members can also find pockets of privacy, whether they’re unwinding in the thoughtfully designed suites or reflecting quietly in nature’s embrace, fostering both individual rejuvenation and collective inspiration.
Dining
Dining at The Deerstone is an experience unto itself. An on-site chef crafts farm-to-fork meals using organic, locally sourced ingredients, transforming each meal into an exploration of flavour. With each dish, your team experiences the chef’s commitment to the environment and to nourishing their body and spirit.
Site Facilities and Sustainability
On-site, we offer guests exclusive access to our four saunas, ice baths, a heated outdoor pool, a games and drinks barn with live music, private hot tubs for each cottage, and Japanese soaking baths for each shepherd’s hut. Massages are available upon request.
All on a site that, in 2024, was 64% powered by our solar PV system. We hope to install a wind turbine this year to bring us closer to 100% energy self-sufficiency. Our kitchen runs on a zero-waste strategy, and we have recently launched our own growing programme, with our first produce being served in April 2025.
Overnight Leadership Retreats and Team Bonding
The Deerstone is an ideal setting to host your leadership and team building events. Being surrounded by the stunning landscape whilst enjoying the unique Roundhouse which we have told encourages deeper and more honest conversations and encourages group engagement. Colleagues will experience an enhanced feeling of inclusivity and connectedness. What works really well is the weaving of fun nature and wellness based activities into your schedule.
We also offer our guests the opportunity to use various seating options throughout the day such as formal seating arrangements in the morning followed by bean bag break out zones in the afternoon. For away days and meetings we can cater for up to 50 people.
