💛 Wall of love 💛

The SurfOffice team helped me organise a great offsite abroad for my distributed team of 16 and the experience was seamless. Their clear communication made planning easy, and they thought of everything we might need. They have a great selection of hotels and experiences, helping us stay within budget without compromising on quality. What especially stood out was their real-time availability during the event, which helped us quickly solve a few last-minute issues.

Laura
Community & Events Manager

We recently worked with Surf Office to organize a company retreat in Lisbon, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, Simon was incredibly patient and supportive, helping us navigate multiple destination changes until we finally landed on Lisbon. His calm demeanor and willingness to ensure we found the perfect location made the planning process much smoother. Once we signed the contracts, Cristi took over and was an absolute star. Her patience, clear communication, and flexibility made all the difference. She understood our brief, even in its most creative form, and worked tirelessly to bring it to life. Cristi kept us on budget, coordinated seamlessly with the right production team, and managed everything through an intuitive dashboard on Coda. She was always a step ahead, anticipating our needs before we even voiced them. On the ground, Fernanda was a force to be reckoned with! She ensured that venues delivered on time and to the highest standards, making sure every detail was executed flawlessly. What truly set Surf Office apart was their ability to make us feel like a collective team rather than just another client. They handled sensitive information with discretion, tackled challenges with calm professionalism, and ultimately delivered an unforgettable retreat. We would work with Surf Office again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them to anyone looking to plan a seamless, well-executed offsite.

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.

Tracy
Head of Human Resources

We recently had our company retreat in Spain which was organized together with Surf Office and the experience exceptional. From the initial planning stages to the final details, the Surf Office team was professional, attentive, and incredibly helpful. They provided tailored recommendations for a venue and their local expertise and network made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The seamless coordination of accommodation, transportation, and activities allowed us to focus on creating meaningful connections within our team without worrying about logistics. The retreat itself was a huge success, and a big part of that was thanks to Surf Office's ability to anticipate our needs and adapt to last-minute changes. I would like to give a special shoutout to Romane who is an organization wizard and made sure everything works out as planned, Fernanda who was our on-site support and did an exceptional job even for the very short-term requests. If you're looking for a reliable partner to help organize your next retreat, I highly recommend Surf Office. Their expertise, attention to detail, and dedication to creating memorable experiences are unmatched. Thank you!

Alisha

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.

Kaylie
Director of People

Candela over at Surf helped us to organise our first ever team retreat in Portugal for 30 odd people (which included +1s and small children.) It honestly couldn't have been more perfect. Every detail was seen to and we felt completely supported. Our team came away from that trip feeling like a proper little family. Such wonderful memories. We honestly could never have done this without Surf and would recommend to anyone.

Gemma
Studio manager

Surf Office made planning our 20 person offsite a breeze! They found the perfect location for us, advised on places we weren't originally considering, and the organization/logistics were very smooth. As a small people team, having this extra help makes a world of a difference. Our team had a great time!

Leila
Head of People

We had a fantastic experience partnering with Surf Office for our 3-day company retreat in Costa Brava. From the early planning stages to the end of the event, everything ran smoothly and professionally. We first worked with Anthony, our Company Retreat Consultant, who helped us choose the right package. He was responsive, approachable, and clearly experienced—making it easy to select the hotel, which suited our needs perfectly. From there, we were supported by Romane, our dedicated Retreat Manager. She was absolutely great—well-organized, proactive, and always ready with thoughtful recommendations and local insights. Whether it was fine-tuning the schedule, adjusting logistics, or booking group activities like kayaking and hiking, she made sure every detail was handled. The mix of work sessions, team-building, and social time was just right. The hotel was comfortable, the activities were fun and well-coordinated, and the team dinners and beach events added a special touch. Everyone had a great time and felt the experience helped strengthen our team dynamics. Surf Office made it easy to plan and execute a retreat for 65 people without stress. We’d absolutely recommend them to any team looking to run an effective and memorable offsite—and we’ll definitely be working with them again.

FAQs about company retreats in

Florida

Is Florida a good destination for a corporate offsite?

Yes, Florida is ideal for teams that want warm weather, beaches, easy US flight access, and a strong mix of work and leisure. It works especially well for remote teams that want a corporate retreat in Florida with outdoor activities, resort-style venues, and relaxed team bonding.

What makes Florida different from other offsite destinations in the United States?

Florida combines Atlantic beaches, Gulf Coast sunsets, theme parks, island-style escapes, and major city infrastructure in one state. A team offsite in Florida can feel active, tropical, social, or wellness-focused depending on the destination.

Which Florida destinations are best for a company retreat?

Miami works well for nightlife, culture, and premium venues. Orlando is best for easy logistics and theme park-based team building. Tampa and St. Petersburg are strong for Gulf Coast retreats, while Jacksonville, Naples, Palm Beach, and the Florida Keys suit beach, nature, or executive-style offsites.

How easy is it to travel to Florida for an international or US-based team retreat?

Florida is very accessible, with major airports including Miami International Airport (MIA), Orlando International Airport (MCO), Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood (FLL), Tampa International Airport (TPA), and Jacksonville International Airport (JAX). Most retreat destinations are within 20–60 minutes of an airport, except the Florida Keys, which may require a longer scenic transfer.

What is the best time of year to plan a company retreat in Florida?

November to April is usually the best period, with warm weather, lower humidity, and better conditions for outdoor activities. May and October can also work well, while summer retreats need planning around heat, rain, and hurricane season.

What team-building activities can companies organize in Florida?

Popular options include beach Olympics, kayaking, paddleboarding, boat trips, Everglades airboat tours, cooking classes, theme park challenges in Orlando, art walks in Miami, and sunset cruises on the Gulf Coast.

How many days should a corporate retreat in Florida last?

Most company retreats in Florida work best as 3 to 4 days. This gives enough time for arrival, work sessions, team-building activities, group dinners, and downtime without making the schedule feel rushed.

What are the best beach destinations in Florida for a corporate retreat?

Strong beach options include Miami Beach, St. Pete Beach, Clearwater, Naples, Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Amelia Island, and Key Largo. For a more relaxed offsite in Florida, Gulf Coast destinations often feel calmer than Miami or Orlando.

How do Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and the Florida Keys compare for company retreats?

Each Florida destination suits a different retreat style. Miami is best for high-energy corporate retreats with nightlife, beaches, international dining, and premium venues. Orlando works well for larger company offsites thanks to Orlando International Airport (MCO), large hotels, and theme park activities. Tampa and St. Petersburg are more relaxed and practical for teams wanting Gulf Coast beaches, shorter transfer times, and good value. The Florida Keys are better for smaller leadership retreats or executive offsites focused on privacy, boating, and slower-paced team bonding.

What should companies plan carefully when organizing a retreat in Florida?

The main things to plan around are hurricane season from June to November, summer humidity, traffic in major cities, and high demand during winter months. For the best company retreat venues in Florida, booking early is important from December to April.
