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.

We recently worked with Surf Office to plan an offsite for our team in Sintra, Portugal and the experience was excellent. Elke went above and beyond throughout the entire process, even driving to visit the location herself to ensure everything was perfect. She was instrumental in securing a restaurant that opened exclusively for our group, making the experience truly special. The hotel was lovely, with breathtaking views that provided the ideal backdrop for both work and relaxation. The space was perfect for connecting, brainstorming, and fostering team collaboration. Every detail was thoughtfully managed. We would wholeheartedly recommend Surf Office to others looking to host memorable and productive retreats!

Romane LeBrec-Foulatier was a fantastic partner in planning this event. She did a wonderful job of introducing the planning project via Coda and then was extremely helpful and conscientious in helping us plan toward the event. I always felt that I could depend on her follow-up and she was clear and articulate in her guidance. She was also proactive in flagging items that needed extra consideration or in raising potential issues with the schedule or venue or planning. We really loved the Coda site that she created to for planning and also the Coda dashboard that we shared with the team; the team found it very helpful as well. Lastly, Romane was critical in helping on our last day in France when the taxi drivers were on strike - she very quickly implemented a contingency plan and helped us communicate it to the team through the Coda site. Similarly. Álvaro Pérez-Segnini was very helpful in helping us choose the Chantilly location. He understood the parameters of the offsite and got back to us with multiple proposals in a limited time frame. He helped us understand which option would be the best for us and he helped us negotiate the best space and the best price.

Great offer - hotel did fit perfectly with our expectations. Danielle who took care about our company did a great job, was super available before the event and was a great help to accommodate with every impediment and change we faced and find the best solution for us. Also during the event, she was always available to make our stay a awesome moment.

Jean
Senior Director of Engineering

We had such a fantastic experience working with SurfOffice! It was our very first time getting external support for our company retreat – and we couldn’t have asked for a better partner. From the very beginning, we felt incredibly well taken care of. The regular check-ins helped us go through every detail and made sure nothing was overlooked. And in the end, everything turned out exactly as we had hoped! The implementation was seamless, and the SurfOffice team was always there to support us – even during the retreat itself. A huge thank you for your time, effort, and amazing support. You truly made our retreat an unforgettable experience. We can’t wait to work with you again next year!

Victoria
Operations & Office Manager

We had an amazing experience! Everything was perfectly organized from A to Z. As a vegan company, it’s usually quite difficult to find places that can fully accommodate our needs — but the Surf Office team handled everything with ease. They weren’t afraid of any request, preference, or extra thing we asked for. The communication was smooth, fast, and friendly throughout the entire process. We truly appreciated the attention to detail and how flexible and supportive the team was. We can’t recommend them enough!

Executive Assistant

I have just wrapped up my fourth annual retreat with Surf Office, this time hosted in Mallorca, and as always they created the perfect experience for myself and my team. Our sales representative Giselle was brilliant, she listened to what we needed and came back with venue options that were perfect for our budget and vibe. Romane was my main contact throughout for the logistics. We had some last-minute changes and she managed everything like a pro, even securing us refunds when we had a cancellation. This is why I keep coming back to Surf Office for our annual event. They actually care about making the retreat something special. It's that personal touch that makes all the difference.

Claire
Head of Operations and Community

We recently worked with Surf Office to plan an off-site retreat for 105 people, and the experience from start to finish was absolutely seamless. From the initial proposal stage, through planning, to on site support, everything went perfectly, and we honestly couldn’t have done it without them. A special thanks to Alvaro and Elke. Alvaro was our initial intro to Surf Office, and working with him on proposals for the retreat was a pleasure. He understood our needs and helped shape the retreat options. Once the planning stage began, Elke took over as our retreat planner. She made everything feel completely in hand and ensured that every detail was looked after. Nothing was ever too much to ask. On site, Fernanda and Bibi were fantastic. With their support, everything ran super smoothly, and we had all the help we could possibly need. The feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive, everyone LOVED the trip! A huge well done to the whole team. We couldn’t recommend them enough.

Kevin
CEO

Our team had an amazing experience working with Surf Office. From the very first conversation, their team was incredibly communicative, organized, and attentive to every detail. They made the entire retreat-planning process smooth and stress-free from venue coordination to activities and logistics, everything was handled with care and professionalism. What really stood out was their responsiveness and ability to anticipate our needs before we even mentioned them. It’s clear they truly understand what makes a company retreat successful. If you’re looking for a partner who combines efficiency, great communication, and genuine hospitality, look no further than Surf Office. We couldn’t recommend them more!

Ierusha
Sr Executive Assistant

I had a wonderful experience working with the SurOffice team. I’d like to specifically highlight Raquel and Giselle, who have been incredibly supportive from day one. They were always proactive in checking in, handling last-minute requests, and doing so with the utmost professionalism and politeness. This was my second time working with the team, and it was an absolute pleasure. I would definitely look forward to collaborating with them again in the future.
