FAQs about company retreats in

Punta Leona

Is Punta Leona a good destination for a corporate retreat?

Punta Leona is a strong fit for teams that want a nature-first retreat close to San José. A company offsite here focuses on beaches, rainforest surroundings, and a quieter environment, making it easier to disconnect from daily routines and focus on team connection.

How do teams usually get to Punta Leona for a retreat?

Most teams fly into Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) and then travel about 1.5 to 2 hours by private transfer. The route is straightforward, and many groups arrange shared transport to keep logistics simple.

What is the best time of year to plan a corporate retreat in Punta Leona?

December through April tends to offer the most reliable weather, with temperatures around 75–85°F and less rainfall. The green season from May to November brings more humidity and afternoon showers but also fewer crowds and lush scenery.

What makes Punta Leona different from other retreat destinations in Costa Rica?

Unlike busier beach towns, Punta Leona feels more contained and nature-focused. It combines private beach access with rainforest landscapes, which creates a more immersive and less commercial retreat environment.

What team-building activities can be organized in Punta Leona?

Teams often plan beach games, guided rainforest hikes, wildlife spotting, kayaking, snorkeling, and boat trips along the coast. The setting works especially well for outdoor and nature-based team building.

How long should a corporate retreat in Punta Leona last?

A 3 to 4 day retreat is common. This allows enough time for work sessions, outdoor activities, and some downtime without making the schedule feel rushed.

What should companies consider when planning a retreat in Punta Leona?

Weather during the rainy season, limited nightlife compared to larger towns, and planning group meals in advance are key factors. The destination is more about nature and team bonding than city-style entertainment.

Is Punta Leona good for outdoor-focused team retreats?

Yes, this is one of its main strengths. With beaches, jungle trails, and wildlife nearby, most activities naturally take place outdoors, especially during the dry season.

What kind of food and social experiences can teams expect?

Dining is usually centered around resort restaurants or private catering. Teams often organize group dinners with ocean views, casual beachside lunches, or shared meals that feel more relaxed and informal.

Can Punta Leona handle both small and large company offsites?

It works best for small to mid-sized teams. Larger groups can be accommodated within resort setups, but the destination is generally more suited to teams that want a more intimate and focused experience.

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.
