We've put together a list of
team-building activities for company retreats in
Punta Leona
, including options that work well for both small and large teams.
Set between Playa Blanca and Punta Leona’s rainforest trails, this 3-day retreat agenda brings together structured sessions, a jungle-based team experience, and time to unwind by the Pacific.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
