We connect people, companies and regions to rethink the way we work
Our Mission
We believe work should be more than a place where you sit out your hours. Work can inspire, connect and create meaning – when the conditions are right. That's why our mission is clear: we bring work and life into balance.
With Project Bay we create spaces where productivity meets ease. Places that invite focused work while also leaving room for encounters, exchange and relaxation. We want to accompany people and companies in a world that is becoming ever more dynamic and flexible – offering solutions that are more than just a desk with Wi-Fi.
This is how we shape a working world in which people are more productive, more satisfied and better connected – while entire regions benefit from this new momentum.
Our mission also means building bridges
For companies
Designing workations and retreats professionally and reliably. You get a partner who creates not just beautiful places but also working environments that actually work. This helps retain talent, strengthen teams and attract new skilled professionals.
For regions & hotels
Revitalizing existing structures, reducing vacancy and opening up future prospects. We turn tourist destinations into vibrant places of the future that are not just attractive seasonally but draw people all year round.
Our Vision
Our vision goes far beyond the classic idea of "working while on holiday". We want to be the driving force for workations and flexible working models worldwide – approachable, connected and carried by a community that thinks globally and acts locally.
We dream of a Europe in which rural areas are no longer "left behind" but are magnets for creativity, talent and innovation. Regions become places of the future where work, leisure and community are in harmony.
Regions attract new audiences who want to stay.
Companies discover innovative ways to motivate and retain employees.
People experience a working world with more freedom and professionalism.
Our vision is also a sustainable one: we use existing resources, connect tourism with new work and thus create a model that works economically, ecologically and socially. In the long term, we want not only to be active at 130 locations across Europe, but to build a worldwide network that connects cities and regions more closely and makes a new way of working the norm.
Our Story
Project Bay began in 2020 on the island of Rügen – where founders Hannes and Toni spent their childhood and where the idea of reconnecting work and life was born. They realized how hard it is to pursue professional dreams in the countryside, and at the same time how much potential these regions hold: nature, quality of life, space for creativity.
Out of this tension grew an experiment that quickly turned into a movement. Today Project Bay runs more than 20 locations in Germany and across Europe – from the Baltic Sea to Mallorca.
Our story is about more than growth: it shows that work doesn't have to be tied to grey offices, but can take place in regions that offer inspiration, quality of life and community.
The Team
Behind Project Bay is a diverse team of founders, makers, creatives and hosts – all with the same vision: rethinking work and creating places of the future.
We are convinced that we can only achieve our mission together. That's why we bring different perspectives together – from business, technology, tourism, design and community building.
The face of Project Bay is not just its two founders – Hannes Trettin and Toni Gurski – but a team spread across Europe. People who run our locations with passion and energy, connect partners and turn new ideas into reality.
