"Everyone has a different definition of what makes up a great incentive. Some have an adventurous streak and look for a destination that offers them a range of activities while others prefers a more laid-back incentive where they can take life at their own pace," says Scott Ward, director of sales and marketing of Scrub Island. "It's a rare destination that can cater to both at the level at of each group’s expectation—and that's exactly what Scrub Island does. It goes beyond simply a resort located in a tropical setting—Scrub Island is a true one-of-a-kind destination."
Options for group getaways on Scrub Island include a complete buy-out for a private company celebration to the creation of an inspiring itinerary complete with spirited teambuilding activities such as a pub crawl to the nearby islands and action-packed adventure programs on Great Camanoe. Among the other activities and amenities that hold great appeal for high-achievers are: a luxurious spa, fishing charters, tennis, cooking classes, eco tours, four restaurants, water sports and a new marina slated to open this October. With 66 accommodations, Scrub Island also provides an intimate locale for an executive retreat.
