FAQs about company retreats in

La Romana

Is La Romana a good destination for a corporate retreat?

La Romana is a strong choice for teams that want a more private, resort-style retreat with Caribbean scenery. A company offsite here combines beaches, golf, and high-end hospitality, creating a relaxed environment that works well for both focused sessions and downtime.

How do teams usually travel to La Romana for a retreat?

Most teams fly into La Romana International Airport (LRM), which is about 10 to 20 minutes from key resort areas. Alternatively, Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) is around 1 to 1.5 hours away and offers more international connections.

What is the best time of year to plan a corporate retreat in La Romana?

December through April offers the most reliable conditions, with temperatures around 75–85°F and lower humidity. Summer months can reach 85–90°F with higher humidity, and September to October carries higher hurricane risk.

What makes La Romana different from other destinations in the Dominican Republic?

La Romana is known for its more exclusive and structured resort environments, especially areas like Casa de Campo. Compared to busier tourist hubs, it offers a quieter and more controlled setting for company retreats.

Which areas are best to stay in La Romana for a company retreat?

Casa de Campo is the most well-known option, offering villas, golf courses, and full-service amenities. Bayahibe is another option for teams that want beachfront access with a slightly more local and relaxed feel.

What team-building activities can be organized in La Romana?

Teams often plan boat trips to Saona Island, snorkeling, golf tournaments, beach games, cooking classes, and cultural visits to Altos de Chavón. The destination is especially strong for outdoor and water-based activities.

How long should a corporate retreat in La Romana last?

A 3 to 4 day retreat is typical. This allows time for meetings, one or two organized activities, and social experiences without making the schedule feel too packed.

What should companies consider when planning a retreat in La Romana?

Choosing the right resort setup, planning around weather seasonality, and organizing group activities in advance are key. The destination is more self-contained, so most experiences are tied to where you stay.

What kind of food and social experiences can teams expect?

Teams can expect a mix of Dominican and international cuisine. Group dinners often take place within resort restaurants, private villas, or scenic locations like Altos de Chavón.

Can La Romana handle both small and large company offsites?

It works well for both. Smaller teams often choose private villas, while larger groups benefit from resort infrastructure that can accommodate bigger events and coordinated activities.

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!

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.
