Why 

Morocco

works for offsites

Morocco is one of the most beautiful destinations in the world. You could visit the garden Jardin Majorelle; historical landmarks such as Saadian Tombs, Badi Palace, or Bahia Palace; and gorgeous attractions like Toubkal and Ouzoud Falls.

But beauty isn’t all Morocco has to offer, there are also plenty of team-building activities to explore such as a desert tour or camel ride. These activities help your team to listen, understand, and connect on a deeper level.

💛 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.

Talent Acquisition Manager

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
Culture Manager

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

Morocco

Is Morocco a good destination for a team offsite?

Yes, Morocco is a strong destination for company retreats thanks to its mix of desert landscapes, Atlantic beaches, mountain towns, riads, and vibrant cities. Teams can combine strategy sessions with cultural experiences, surf trips, camel rides, cooking classes, and rooftop dinners in a setting that feels very different from traditional European offsites.

Which cities in Morocco are best for a company retreat?

Marrakech is the most popular destination for corporate retreats in Morocco because of its riads, restaurants, and direct international flights. Essaouira works well for beach and surf-focused offsites, while Agadir offers larger seaside resorts and warm weather year-round. Casablanca is better suited for business-oriented retreats, and the Atlas Mountains are ideal for smaller nature-focused team retreats.

How easy is it to travel to Morocco for a team retreat?

Most international teams arrive through Marrakech Menara Airport (RAK) or Casablanca Mohammed V International Airport (CMN). Direct flights are available from major European cities including Paris, London, Madrid, Lisbon, Amsterdam, and Milan, with many flights under 4 hours from Europe.

What is the best time of year to organize a corporate retreat in Morocco?

The best months for a Morocco company retreat are March to May and September to November, when temperatures are usually between 20–30°C. Summer can become very hot in Marrakech and inland areas, while coastal destinations like Essaouira stay cooler due to Atlantic winds.

What makes Morocco different from other retreat destinations in Europe and North Africa?

Morocco stands out because teams can experience desert camps, ancient medinas, surf towns, mountain villages, and modern cities within one trip. In our experience hosting teams, Morocco works especially well for companies looking for an offsite that feels adventurous, culturally rich, and highly memorable without requiring long-haul travel from Europe.

What are the best areas to stay for a team retreat in Marrakech?

The Medina is ideal for teams wanting traditional riads and walkable cultural experiences. Hivernage offers more modern hotels and nightlife, while Palmeraie is popular for larger company retreat venues with pools, gardens, and quieter surroundings outside the city center.

What team-building activities can companies organize in Morocco?

Popular team-building activities in Morocco include:

  • Surf lessons in Essaouira or Taghazout
  • Moroccan cooking classes with local chefs
  • Camel rides and desert dinners in Agafay
  • Guided medina scavenger hunts
  • Hot air balloon rides near Marrakech
  • Hiking in the Atlas Mountains
  • Traditional hammam and wellness experiences

How long should a company retreat in Morocco last?

Most teams plan a Morocco retreat for 4 to 5 days. This gives enough time to combine work sessions with cultural activities, social dinners, and at least one full-day experience outside the main city.

Can Morocco work for both luxury retreats and budget-friendly offsites?

Yes, Morocco offers a wide range of retreat styles. Teams can organize luxury company retreats in private riads and resorts with spa experiences, or more affordable offsites with boutique accommodations, local restaurants, and lower overall costs compared to many Southern European destinations.

What food experiences can teams expect during a retreat in Morocco?

Food is usually a major part of the retreat experience in Morocco. Teams can organize shared tagine dinners, rooftop dining experiences, street food tours, mint tea tastings, and cooking workshops featuring dishes like couscous, harira, grilled meats, and fresh seafood along the coast.
