An 8–15 person small group — team offsite, small gathering, family mini-reunion — doesn't want to be swallowed by a big tour. A whole-villa mountain retreat gives private space plus KTV/mahjong/cinema/pool/BBQ, with butler scheduling; more private and flexible than a big hotel, at a controllable per-person cost. Here is how to choose a small group package.
Why a whole villa for a small group
- Whole villa, no mixed groups: 8–15 people get the whole villa and 1200㎡ garden; no sharing public areas with other groups.
- Independent space: meeting room / tea room / living room can be zoned — ice-breaking, breakouts and wrap-up don't clash.
- Full facilities: KTV, mahjong, 4K cinema, 300-inch screen, pool and BBQ all included.
- Butler scheduling: dining, activities and nearby trips can be coordinated by the butler.
- Controllable per-head: split across the group, often below a comparable big-hotel meeting package.

FAQ
Small group vs. big team-building?
Big team-building means dozens, rigid flow and mixed groups. A small group (8–15) gets the whole villa exclusively — private space, butler scheduling, more flexible.
Can 15 people hold a meeting in the villa?
The 7-room whole villa includes living/tea rooms usable as activity and light-meeting space; arrange the layout with the butler in advance.
Can we bring a pet?
Yes, pet-friendly; the garden is safe to roam. Keep it leashed.
How to get there from Xiamen?
~50 min from Xiamen Gaoqi Airport, ~40 min from Xiamen North Station by car or shuttle.
