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.
We couldn't do it without you. You were a huge support for us. We did a feedback survey asking the team how everything was, asking about the hotel, the food, the program etc. and they were able to rate from 1 to 10, & overall we have a 9.5 So it was really really successful!
The expectations were really high. We put a lot of pressure on you since the start, telling you about our last events in the Moroccan desert and in Eiffel Tower. But it was great. The organization was really smooth. The event was beyond expectation!
We did a survey with the guys, we have like mostly 9/10, or 10/10. People were really having so much fun… they were very happy with the choice of the place. The venue, the weather, the team dynamics, it all came together really well.
I really felt having you being part of it was such an asset. Just knowing that you were point in organizing this and then also if there was a question or problem we could just reach out directly was really helpful.
Everybody loved it! We did a post-offsite survey, and it was all vibes! Everything went to plan. One thing that we were all saying internally as well is like - I honestly don't think we would have made happen unless we had Surf Office.
It was great! People loved the balance of free time and activities. They loved that we gave them options on activities.
We have been doing this since 2008, so it was the 17th event this year. And the consensus was that this was the best ever. Everybody was super happy, they had lots of fun. So it was great.
People got together, people got to see each other. We had really good internal sessions, and also a lot of off time sessions. I feel Surf Office thought of a lot of things that one would not think when you're planning an off site in another country.
We have grown so much since our last event, so were a lot of people, and we needed those three days to talk, to interact with everyone... You handled it so beautifully. We did not have to worry about organizing or arranging anything. You guys did an amazing job.
The most popular team building activities are surf lessons, SUP lessons and tapas night but there are plenty more to choose from.
