With so many attractions and such beautiful scenery, Costa Brava checks all the boxes for an unforgettable, sun-soaked team-building retreat.
Costa Brava is a coastal region and its Mediterranean climate makes it a perfect vacation spot year-round. Some of the best things to do here include visiting the medieval city in Catalonia called Gitona, see history, art, and nature come together at the Cap Roig Botanical Gardens, or if you enjoy more of a historic setting, take a trip back in time to the Ruins of Empuries.

We've put together a list of
team-building activities for company retreats in
Costa Brava
, including options that work well for both small and large teams.
From Cadaqués to Tossa de Mar and along Costa Brava’s coves, this retreat agenda brings together structured sessions, a coastal kayaking experience, and time to explore Catalonia’s seaside villages.
Costa Brava is ideal for teams looking to combine Mediterranean coastline with a quieter, more scenic environment than larger cities. A corporate retreat in Costa Brava offers coastal views, small towns, and a relaxed pace that supports both focus and team connection.
Most teams fly into Barcelona–El Prat Airport (BCN), which is about 1 to 1.5 hours by car depending on the specific town. Private transfers or rental cars are the most common options for reaching coastal locations.
May to June and September to early October are usually the best months, with temperatures around 20–28°C and fewer crowds. July and August are warmer and busier, especially in popular beach towns.
Popular areas include Begur for its charm and beaches, Cadaqués for a more unique and artistic setting, and Platja d’Aro for convenience and accessibility. Many teams also choose villas for privacy and shared space.
Teams often plan kayaking along the coastline, hiking sections of the Camí de Ronda coastal trail, wine tasting in nearby Empordà wineries, sailing trips, and cooking classes focused on Catalan cuisine.
A 3 to 5 day retreat is common. This allows time for structured sessions, outdoor activities, and some flexibility to explore different coastal areas.
Food is a highlight of the region. Teams often organize group dinners with fresh seafood, traditional Catalan dishes like suquet de peix, and wine tastings featuring local varieties.
Costs can vary depending on the town and season, but overall it is often more affordable than central Barcelona. Villas and group accommodation can offer good value, especially when booked in advance.
Costa Brava offers a more natural and less urban experience. A team building retreat in Costa Brava focuses on coastline, small villages, and outdoor activities rather than city-based plans.
Transport logistics are important, as the area is spread out and often requires cars. Seasonality also affects availability and pricing, especially in peak summer months.
We got incredibly positive feedback. Many people said it was the best offsite we've ever had. So that's obviously the most important thing from like an organizational point of view. It was super nice working with you guys. I really enjoyed it. It was the first year we had an agency like you guys on board and it did really help, especially now having a much bigger team.
We did send a survey to everyone after the event. And the feedback was very positive. Everyone loved the hotel. People were saying that the food at the venue was very good, which I agree with. The rooms were great. The meeting space was perfect for us. Obviously the beach and the area were perfect. I think it was a great location for our team. There were some people that said this was the best summit they’ve attended.
The feedback has been impeccable. Everybody loved the hotel, loved the staff, loved the support from Surf Office, everything. All the expectations were, you know, not even just met, but went beyond. We loved the way we were taken care of.
The overall feedback was really fantastic. Everybody really liked the venue. They really liked being in the same location. We had a wonderful partnership and we’d love to work with you again.
We walked into it anxious. We walked away from it absolutely amazed by the results. It was so well organized. I would never have been able to do that alone, you pulled that off entirely. It was amazing. The team is buzzing! It blew people away. It definitely blew us away.
I was stressed out before the retreat cause I never did the planning. As soon as we arrived to the hotel, they knew everything and I didn’t have to worry about anything. Big thumbs up to the Surf Office team for the general flexibility, and for the communication.
It was absolutely perfect. There wasn’t one thing that I can criticize. We had a fantastic time, really really good. It went so smoothly, everybody was very happy. Anybody that asked now about how the offsite went, I just say: “It was amazing, you only can use 1 company, you don’t need to use anybody else”.
Amazing. It was I think a really lifelong memory. I think the whole team had a really great time. I never could do this without Surf Office.
It was an awesome experience. It went super smooth, the drivers were on time, food was great, and the flexibility of the hotel was great. We had a truly amazing time and all because of your great work and preparations – you were like the magic fairies that organised everything so beautifully!
The most popular team building activities are surf lessons, SUP lessons and tapas night but there are plenty more to choose from.
