Bleisure with BMP: Elevating Work and Play at Our Resorts

27 August 2025

Work and life are no longer separate worlds. Today, companies and employees are looking for more than boardrooms and offices – they want experiences that balance productivity with relaxation. This has given rise to the growing trend of bleisure travel in South Africa, where business and leisure blend seamlessly to create a better work-life balance and stronger team connections.

Beekman resorts are designed for this lifestyle. As a Beekman Managed Portfolio (BMP) resort owner, you gain access to venues for corporate retreats, team-building events and business meetings, along with a holiday stay every year. It’s a two-in-one value: a family holiday base and a functional hub for your professional needs. For companies, we have resorts that offer versatile event spaces that make it easy to combine work and leisure in some of the region’s most beautiful destinations.

Why Choose BMP Resorts as Your Corporate Destination?

Our resorts provide the perfect backdrop for corporate retreats in South Africa. At selected resorts, professional facilities for meetings, workshops, and/or team-building activities are complemented by leisure opportunities in nature, creating the perfect balance of productivity and relaxation. Imagine closing a successful team-building day with a braai under the stars or following a morning of presentations with a guided hike or water-based adventure. That’s the value of business-leisure travel with BMP.

  • Hazyview Cabanas: The Village is ideal for smaller corporate team-building retreats, accommodating up to 30 with riverside seating and a braai area.
  • The Kingdom Resort: The Tribal Boma hosts up to 60 guests with picnic-style tables, multiple braai areas, a kiosk, and a fire pit – perfect for outdoor corporate functions.
  • Cayley Mountain Resort: Choose the Village for private sessions of 30 with a splash pool and kitchen, or the Cayley Beach Club for 60 people, offering dam-side activities and lakeside views for corporate family days.
  • San Martinho Beach Club (SMBC): Located in Mozambique, SMBC features a dedicated conference venue for business meetings and seminars. The Sand Bar offers indoor and outdoor space for cocktail evenings, team socials, or networking with the Indian Ocean as a backdrop.
  • Dikhololo (Exchange Resort): With venues for 30 to 150 people and full conferencing facilities, Dikhololo is ideal for corporate events of any scale. Its bushveld setting and onsite amenities make it perfect for combining formal sessions with team-building, giving you everything you and your corporate team require.

No matter the group size or type of event, BMP resorts offer more than just a meeting space – they create memorable team retreats in South Africa and Mozambique. To make planning seamless, catering is available at all venues when booked in advance at an additional fee.
