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.
It was amazing. I mean, the team was just absolutely over the top, thrilled. Everything was fantastic.
As we wrap up our first-ever company offsite in Portugal, I feel so grateful for the incredible experience we've shared as a team. This past week has been nothing short of amazing, filled with enriching and productive sessions, workshops, and memorable moments.
It was a massive success, the team loved every part of it and all of the restaurants, activities, transfer, etc. that you organised were excellent. I will certainly be contacting Surf Office again for anything I plan in the future.
We had a great retreat! So far all individual feedback that came back through a survey we sent out to the team, was super positive! Everyone really enjoyed it!
We loved it! Our management had very specific requirements for a retreat location... remote and in nature but with room for interaction. The venue and every aspect of this retreat matched that. We loved it so much that we even consider repeating the venue.
Everyone has commented on how well the retreat went, and we really do appreciate everything that you did to make it go so smoothly.
It was amazing. The whole team enjoyed everything. The hospitality, the area, the apartments, the sea view, the hotel staff, the old town. It was perfect, it was our best offsite.
Everything was amazing. So I have only good things to say. Team loved it. Again, I was very congratulated. They were very happy. Everything was on spot.
We have organized company retreats for our distributed 30 people team multiple times with Surf Office and the team has loved it every time. Surf Office has some great venues as part of their portfolio and do a great job helping to facilitate pretty much everything from accommodation, food, activities, airport transfers etc.
The most popular team building activities are surf lessons, SUP lessons and tapas night but there are plenty more to choose from.
