Valencia, a Mediterranean signature for your seminars, incentives, and team-building retreats
Valencia has that rare blend that truly sets a corporate destination apart: a vibrant cultural city, the sea within easy reach, an outstanding culinary scene, and an effortless sense of flow. It’s a place for seminars that move things forward, incentives with room to breathe, and team-building experiences that genuinely bring people together.
It’s stylish, yes, but more importantly, it has depth.
At New Stories, we design and deliver corporate events in Spain with one obsession: creating a seamless, cohesive experience, executed with precision, from the first brief to the final toast.
Hotels: Three Business-Chic Addresses
Catalonia Excelsior, a discreetly chic city-centre base
Catalonia Excelsior is the “premium central” option: understated sophistication, the city at your doorstep, and the kind of comfort that keeps the pace effortless. It’s ideal when you want to streamline logistics, optimise time, and offer your guests a truly urban experience.
Its corporate strength lies in its simplicity: this type of address works particularly well for compact formats, daytime meetings followed by Valencia in lifestyle mode in the evening, with standout dinners just minutes away and a genuine sense of freedom for the group.
Best suited for: executive teams, short seminars, city-break incentives, and groups looking for maximum experience with minimal movement.
INNSiDE Valencia Oceanic, contemporary design in modern Valencia
INNSiDE Valencia Oceanic speaks instantly to international teams: clean lines, a modern feel, a real sense of space, and that “Mediterranean contemporary” aesthetic that makes a seminar feel more desirable.
Its corporate edge is its comfort-led, flexible setup. Meetings, workshops, and dynamic working sessions are easy to run here, with breaks that feel like genuine breathing space rather than interruptions. Its location near the City of Arts and Sciences also adds strong visual impact, making it effortless to build in a nearby evening venue or activity with minimal transfers.
Best suited for: creative seminars, leadership committees, hybrid meetings, and design-forward urban incentives.
NH Valencia Center, the MICE benchmark for scale and structure
NH Valencia Center is a dependable choice when the priority is MICE efficiency: capacity, organisation, pace, and a reliable event set-up. It’s particularly well suited to structured days, where working sessions flow smoothly and the agenda can be fine-tuned down to the minute.
Its corporate strength is its ability to support more complex requirements: multiple touchpoints across the day, simultaneous breakout spaces, guest speakers, conference-style formats, and more demanding technical production.
Best suited for: larger seminars, internal conventions, training programmes, and multi-room events.
Meeting Spaces: Three Signature Venues for Conferences and Seminars
Palacio de Congresos de València, the large-scale corporate stage
This is the natural choice when you’re aiming for an ambitious conference, a structured plenary, or a large-scale event. The venue is designed to handle the essentials at scale: attendee flow, technical production, programme sequencing, and smooth transitions between key moments.
Where it becomes truly premium is in the orchestration. With a sharp visual identity, understated staging, a perfectly choreographed welcome, and an elevated food-and-beverage experience, you can avoid the “standard conference” feel entirely. It’s a place where you can produce an event with clarity, efficiency, and real polish.
Ideal for: conferences, conventions, launches, plenaries, and multi-room formats.
Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía, iconic architecture that elevates your message
If you want immediate impact, this is the place. Palau de les Arts turns a speech into a moment. The setting raises the bar on its own, so you don’t need to overproduce to create a strong impression.
It’s a perfect backdrop for a keynote, a strategic announcement, or a closing sequence designed to stay with people. Think a refined arrival, a conference format with high-end staging and lighting, then a cocktail or seated dinner that shifts into a more lifestyle-led rhythm.
Ideal for: keynotes, premium conferences, institutional evenings, and standout closings.
CaixaForum València, a contemporary setting for refined conferences
CaixaForum València brings a cultural edge that makes an event feel smarter, more editorial, and more brand-led. The aesthetic is modern, the atmosphere is distinctly high-quality, and the venue works beautifully for talk formats, roundtables, and themed conferences.
It’s an excellent choice when you want to pair content with inspiration, without any showiness, supported by well-curated breaks and a setting that naturally encourages conversation and connection.
Ideal for: talks, panels, themed conferences, inspiration-led formats, and brand events.
Dining: Tables that become lasting moments
La Salita, a culinary experience worth gifting
La Salita is the kind of address that turns a corporate dinner into something exceptional. Everything feels precise, elegant, and perfectly controlled. It’s the right choice when you’re hosting key guests, thanking a team, or when the quality of the evening needs to reflect your company’s standards.
For groups, the value is also in how well the experience can be curated: a well-paced service, thoughtful pairings, the right atmosphere, and a final impression that feels unmistakably “signature.”
Perfect for: leadership teams, partners, VIP guests, and closing dinners.
Ricard Camarena, Valencia’s contemporary cuisine at its sharpest
Ricard Camarena embodies modern Valencian dining with structure and precision, in a style that resonates strongly with an international audience. It’s a powerful choice when you need a high-end table that feels universally right.
For corporate groups, it’s easy to shape a seamless experience with no dead time: a well-paced menu, polished service, and real coherence between the setting, the cuisine, and the overall atmosphere.
Perfect for: premium dinners, discerning groups, and high-level corporate hosting.
Canalla Bistro, polished energy for a lively team dinner
Canalla works beautifully for groups who want atmosphere, conversation, and a sense of buzz without slipping into anything loud or “touristy.” It’s contemporary, dynamic, and naturally unifying.
It’s also a great place to build real team connection: people relax quickly, share plates, laugh, and the evening finds its own rhythm with ease.
Perfect for: team dinners, incentives, and more relaxed evenings that still feel curated.
Sea & Lifestyle: Exceptional venues along the Marina
Veles e Vents, Valencia’s waterfront signature for standout events
Veles e Vents is one of Valencia’s most powerful settings for a lifestyle-led corporate event. The terraces, the scale, the marina backdrop, and the light all combine to create a natural stage with immediate impact.
It’s ideal for a sunset cocktail, a closing celebration, a brand dinner, or a team milestone. The key is in keeping the production understated and premium: a refined welcome, discreet live music, a crisp visual identity, and an experience that stays elegant from the first glass to the last.
Perfect for: sunset cocktails, closing nights, launches, and signature dinners.
Marina Beach Club, a sunlit setting designed for effortless production
Marina Beach Club is a highly effective choice when you want an immediate seaside experience: a lunch by the water, a celebratory moment, and a confident Mediterranean atmosphere.
For corporate groups, success is all about calibration: the right time slot, the right area, the right format, and clear framing so the energy stays polished. Done well, it becomes a strong incentive moment, highly photogenic and genuinely unifying for the team.
Perfect for: seaside lunches, sun-soaked afterworks, and incentive highlights.
Experiences: Team-building and incentive, with sea-level energy and adrenaline
Corporate regatta, the most premium and unifying team-building format
A corporate regatta is a high-end classic for one simple reason: it reveals team dynamics in real time. Leadership, coordination, communication, and strategy aren’t discussed, they’re lived.
It’s also an undeniably memorable experience, with a natural setting that does half the work and a collective energy that rises fast. To finish, a cocktail at the Marina in a signature venue turns effort into celebration and gives the group a clear closing moment.
Why it works: authentic cohesion, shared emotion, and an instant, lasting memory.
White-water rafting, the adrenaline experience that truly brings people together
For teams looking for something more intense, white-water rafting and river sports near Valencia deliver a team-building moment with real emotional impact. It’s structured, professionally supervised, and safe, yet genuinely alive.
The effect on a group is immediate: barriers drop, roles reshuffle, support becomes instinctive, and the team starts moving as one. Most importantly, people return with a shared sense of achievement, which is incredibly valuable in the middle of a seminar or during a period of internal change.
Why it works: challenge, trust, synchronisation, and collective momentum.
Tailor-made nautical experiences, blending intensity with elegance
Depending on your company’s DNA, you can curate a more lifestyle-led mix, always centred around the water: team-based nautical challenges, softer “light competition” formats, private experiences at the Marina, or calmer sequences designed to make space for conversation.
The goal isn’t to simply fill time. It’s to create a well-placed breathing moment that supports the seminar’s purpose: alignment, motivation, and genuine cohesion.
Conclusion: When a seminar becomes a signature
Valencia has a rare gift: it offers a true Mediterranean sense of breathing space while remaining perfectly operational for corporate events. Here, a seminar isn’t just a sequence of meeting rooms and time slots. It becomes momentum.
An incentive doesn’t simply entertain, it strengthens bonds. And team building doesn’t “fill an afternoon,” it creates a shared memory that keeps working long after everyone is back at their desks.
