FAQs about company retreats in

Lanzarote

Is Lanzarote a good destination for a corporate offsite?

For teams looking for a year-round warm destination with a unique landscape, Lanzarote is a strong option. A corporate retreat here combines volcanic scenery, ocean views, and a calm atmosphere that helps teams focus while still offering memorable outdoor experiences.

How do teams usually get to Lanzarote for a retreat?

Most groups fly into Lanzarote Airport (ACE), which is about 10–20 minutes from areas like Arrecife, Puerto del Carmen, and Costa Teguise. The island has good connections to major European cities, especially from Spain, the UK, and Germany.

When is the best time to plan a company retreat in Lanzarote?

Lanzarote works well throughout the year thanks to its mild climate. Temperatures typically range between 20–28°C, with spring and autumn offering the most comfortable conditions for outdoor activities and group planning.

Which areas are best to stay in Lanzarote for a company retreat?

Puerto del Carmen is popular for its balance of accommodation and restaurants, Costa Teguise is practical and well-organized for groups, and Playa Blanca offers a quieter, more relaxed setting. The best base depends on how social or laid-back the retreat is meant to be.

What team-building activities can be organized in Lanzarote?

Teams often plan volcano hikes in Timanfaya National Park, surf lessons, cycling routes across the island, catamaran trips, wine tastings in La Geria, and beach-based activities. The island is especially strong for outdoor and active experiences.

How long should a corporate retreat in Lanzarote last?

A 3 to 4 day retreat is common. This gives enough time for work sessions, one or two key outdoor activities, and relaxed evenings without overloading the schedule.

What makes Lanzarote different from other Canary Islands for a team retreat?

Lanzarote stands out for its volcanic landscapes and strong visual identity shaped by César Manrique’s architecture and design influence. Compared to more resort-heavy islands, it feels more curated and less crowded.

Can Lanzarote support both work sessions and leisure activities?

Yes, many hotels and villas offer suitable setups for meetings, and most activities are within short driving distances. Teams can structure focused mornings followed by outdoor or social experiences in the afternoon.

What should companies consider when planning a retreat in Lanzarote?

Wind can be a factor throughout the year, especially for outdoor planning. It also helps to choose accommodation close to your main activity areas and to organize transport in advance for smoother logistics.

What kind of food and social experiences can teams expect?

Teams can expect fresh seafood, Canarian dishes, local wines from volcanic vineyards, and relaxed group dinners. Social experiences often include sunset drinks, seaside restaurants, and informal evenings that match the island’s slower pace.

The entire offsite was very great, very good. Very well organized. I liked the planning process - I didn't have to do it, I just had to approve it. I trusted you completely, with everything... I saw this attention to detail and we really appreciate it.

Iuliana

You were amazing and saved me 90% of the time I would have used... definitely working with Surf Office again, 10/10.

Ellie

From the very first contact to the last goodbye, Surf Office was an incredible company to work with for our company retreat in Portugal. The customer service was top tier and every single person I interacted with was absolutely lovely, professional and so helpful.

You were unswayable in terms of your positivity, in terms of your proactiveness and cooperation, and just your get it done mentality. So that was really good. Thank you.

Olaf

Honestly, everything went so smoothly. From Anthony sending us proposals and working hard at finding the right venue, to Romane planning every detail and being so flexible with our requests, to Fernanda being an absolute superstar onsite and being so helpful. Thank you all so much!

Clemence

I panicked when I learned I had to plan this, I've never done this before. Everything went smoothly for me, I wouldn't have been able to do it without you.

Christina
Office Manager

Marija

I mean, you guys are magicians. I don't know how you do it... Honestly, it's been great, Jolanda, the support that you've given during the planning stage with all of the prep work that goes into it beforehand. You guys are really, honestly, the best. Thank you so much, you make my life so much easier.
