Balse Bos

At Balse Bos, you can organize a meeting, team day, or retreat in complete privacy. You exclusively use the entire location, including 3.5 hectares of natural meadows and forest.

Balse Bos is an off-grid meeting location in Aalten, in the Achterhoek. The venue is suitable for business meetings of up to 15 people, such as meetings, team days, brainstorming sessions, training, workshops, and retreats. You always rent the location exclusively, with indoor space, veranda, terrace, canopy, outdoor kitchen, outdoor toilets, private parking, and 3.5 hectares of private nature area.

Why Balse Bos works for business meetings

Balse Bos is suitable for teams looking for tranquility, focus, and space. The location is nestled in greenery and is always private for your group. This makes it a strong place for confidential conversations, strategy sessions, team development, and creative work sessions.

You get 3.5 hectares of land fully for your own use. That means absolute privacy, freedom, and no distractions from other groups. Indoors, you work focused at the table. Outdoors, you can move a session to the veranda, terrace, or forest. This naturally creates a different energy in the program.

The off-grid setting enhances that feeling. Balse Bos operates with solar panels and has a quiet, natural basis. You are away from the office, but have the facilities you need for a business meeting.

Atmosphere & possibilities

A day at Balse Bos starts in complete peace. You arrive at a secluded area, without other groups around you. Inside, everything is ready for a meeting, training, or brainstorming. The wood stove provides warmth and atmosphere, while wifi, a TV screen, and flip chart ensure a practical basis.

Afterward, you can move the program outdoors. A meeting on the veranda feels immediately different than a session in the office. On the terrace or under the canopy, there is space for a break, lunch, or informal discussion. In the forest, you can work with walking talks, reflection tasks, or short break-outs.

The outdoor space forms one whole with the location. You use the forest, veranda, terrace, and canopy flexibly alongside each other. This allows you to switch between focus, movement, and relaxation.

At Balse Bos, you do not rent a shared meeting room, but a complete location. Your group has the grounds to themselves. This provides peace and freedom during confidential conversations.

The combination of indoor space, veranda, terrace, canopy, outdoor kitchen, and forest makes the location flexible. You can quietly build up a business session and alternate with outdoor moments. This helps teams to detach from the daily work environment and return with new insights.
