Escape to Lanzarote for a beach retreat unlike any other. With its year-round sunshine, lunar-like terrain, and laid-back island rhythm, this Canary Island is a top choice for teams looking to disconnect from distractions and reconnect with each other.
Lanzarote offers more than just great weather. Its mix of black sand beaches, volcanic parks, and creative architecture by César Manrique gives your retreat a spark of adventure and originality.
Whether you're holding brainstorming sessions in modern villas or hiking through lava fields together, your team will return energized and aligned.

We've put together a list of
team-building activities for company retreats in
Lanzarote
, including options that work well for both small and large teams.
Volcanic views in Timanfaya, coastal moments near Papagayo, and seaside dinners bring a relaxed island feel to this retreat agenda in Lanzarote.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Surf Office was amazing to work with - from the initial introductory call to the final day of our corporate retreat! They are well-organised, transparent, super reliable and the communication throughout the planning and execution phase was prompt and clear. We are looking forward to working with them for future company retreats.
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Elke and Álvaro to plan our onsite, and I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, they were incredibly friendly, responsive, and genuinely enthusiastic about helping us create a great event. Elke was so thoughtful and organized, always making sure every little detail was covered and keeping everything running smoothly. She brought such a positive energy to the process — she was super approachable and made collaboration easy and fun. Throughout the entire planning period, they both went above and beyond to support us. I really appreciated how proactive they were in anticipating our needs, and how enjoyable every interaction was. It truly felt like working with partners who cared as much about the success of our onsite as we did. Thank you, Elke and Álvaro, for being such a joy to work with! I’d happily work with you both again any time.
It's our second year working with Surf Office for our company offsite (30 pax first year, and 42 pax second year), and we're super happy! This year our offsite was a huge success, with direct impact on our employees' satisfaction, company culture, and alignment with our mission. The week they put together for us was perfect on all fronts: venue selection, logistics, activities, last-minute changes - everything was super well executed. Couldn't recommend them more! And... I know whom we're working with next year!
Working with Surf Office was a great experience from start to finish. Communication was smooth, the planning was thoughtful, and the platform made coordination easy. We really appreciated the well-curated suggestions for locations, activities, and restaurants – everything felt carefully considered. Beyond that, the setup created a great team atmosphere, making it easy to connect and enjoy our time together. We would definitely recommend Surf Office to any team looking for a well-organized and inspiring retreat.
Danielle, Giselle and the SurfOffice team were extremely cooperative, understanding and flexible to support my team’s 80-person offsite in Belgrade, Serbia. From being patient with our company’s lengthy vendor due diligence and procurement process, to responding swiftly when an attendee misplaced her passport - everything went really smoothly. Working with them took a huge load off our shoulders and their relationships with hotels/activities/venues also helped us secure good deals. Would definitely recommend their services to any company who’s looking to plan for an enjoyable team offsite.
We recently organized our company offsite with SurfOffice, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning: The location selection and contract negotiations with Giselle, to the actual planning and execution of the offsite together with Elke, everything was handled exceptionally well. Working with Elke was truly outstanding. She was incredibly proactive, always thinking several steps ahead, and responded extremely quickly to every question or change. She managed to get fast answers from all providers: from transport companies to hotels and local activity partners- and did so with a consistently friendly and professional attitude. Thanks to her dedication, we had little organizational workload on our side, and we always felt fully supported. The offsite turned out to be an amazing experience for our whole team, and we’re certain we couldn’t have organized something like this on our own. SurfOffice played a huge role in making our offsite in Kemer such a success, and we can wholeheartedly recommend them to any company planning an offsite for a larger group.
Sara was fantastic in organising our company trip to Istanbul - she was quick to reply, offered great solutions to issues, and made the trip itself seamless and enjoyable. Already looking forward to the next one!
Expertise and competence in service. Friendly, helpful, and respectful communication. Comfortable, welcoming, and inspiring surroundings.
This was our second year working with Surf to plan our annual company retreat, and once again, they smashed it. We had a beautiful, restorative and fun retreat just outside of Barcelona that the whole team loved. It was so lovely to have the team's support in planning such a complex event, and they did a great job at helping us stay within budget. Great experience overall.
The most popular team building activities are surf lessons, SUP lessons and tapas night but there are plenty more to choose from.
