We believe that training doesn’t necessarily have to take place in austere conference rooms. We saw concrete proof of this in Gran Canaria, where our spaces hosted a three-day workshop organized by Unica Academy: not your typical corporate event, but a true educational “workation.”
Beyond the Conference Room
The idea that learning requires rigid, impersonal environments is becoming obsolete. When the setting changes, so does the way people listen, engage, and retain what they learn.
This is the premise behind every workation we host in Gran Canaria: a place that inspires creativity and well-being isn’t just a nice-to-have, but an integral part of the program.
Three Days with Unica Academy, Ocean View
From November 1 to 3, our spaces hosted the Unica Academy experience. Under the guidance of Giuseppe Saginario, mental coach and founder of Unica Academy, participants discovered how a change of setting can catalyze real transformations.
The coaching sessions, enhanced by the ocean view and the atmosphere of Gran Canaria, took on a new dimension. The days alternated between intensive work and moments of reflection, while breaks naturally turned into networking opportunities.
When learning takes place in a setting that inspires creativity and well-being, the results are surprising. Oceanworking’s environment, with its ocean views and spaces designed for well-being, amplified the effectiveness of the coaching sessions. — a participant
Why a workation truly transforms
A workation can be much more than an escape from routine. Combined with a high-level training program, it becomes a concrete tool for professional transformation: you work with greater clarity, and what you learn sticks.
In this sense, the collaboration between Oceanworking and Unica Academy marks a turning point for professional training on the island.
Gran Canaria, a Destination for Corporate Training
Gran Canaria is emerging as a premier destination for corporate training: a favorable climate year-round and facilities like Oceanworking make the island—and the Canary Islands more broadly—a go-to destination for those seeking a different setting in which to develop their team.
