For teams looking to retreat in style without sacrificing calm or creativity, Savannah offers a unique mix.
Its cobblestone streets, moss-draped oaks, and charming squares make it feel like a step back in time—yet full of energy and inspiration.
This city offers the ideal pace for a teambuilding offsite—slow enough to spark presence, vibrant enough to fuel ideas. With plenty of small event venues, cozy accommodations, and all the cultural perks of a historic Southern city, Savannah is perfect for focused conversations and relaxed connections.
Morning walks, casual courtyard meals, and evening strolls through lantern-lit streets make every moment count.

We've put together a list of
team-building activities for company retreats in
Savannah
, including options that work well for both small and large teams.
Treasure hunts through Forsyth Park and River Street, evenings in the Historic District, and a beach trip to Tybee Island shape this retreat agenda in Savannah.
Savannah is a strong choice for teams that want a charming, walkable city with historic character and a relaxed Southern atmosphere. Its combination of architecture, greenery, and hospitality creates a setting that feels distinct from typical corporate destinations.
Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV) has direct flights from major US hubs like Atlanta, New York, and Chicago. The airport is about 20 minutes from downtown, making transfers quick and simple.
Spring and fall are the most popular seasons, with temperatures around 65–85°F. Summers can be hot and humid, often reaching 85–95°F, while winters are mild, usually between 50–65°F.
Historic Downtown is ideal for walkability and atmosphere, the Historic District North offers proximity to the riverfront, and areas near Forsyth Park provide a quieter and more scenic setting.
Savannah stands out for its Southern charm, historic squares, and slower pace. In our experience, teams we’ve hosted here appreciate how the environment encourages connection and relaxed interaction.
Teams often choose guided walking tours, ghost tours, riverboat cruises, cooking classes, and group activities in Forsyth Park. Day trips to nearby Tybee Island are also popular.
A 3 to 4 day retreat is typically ideal. This gives enough time for meetings, team activities, and exploring the city without rushing the schedule.
Savannah offers boutique hotels, historic inns, restored mansions, and modern conference venues. Many properties combine character with functionality for group events.
Savannah is known for Southern cuisine, including seafood, barbecue, and Lowcountry dishes. Teams often enjoy group dinners, rooftop bars, and casual evenings along River Street.
Savannah works particularly well for smaller teams due to its walkability and intimate venues. The setting naturally supports closer interaction and focused discussions.
The entire offsite was very great, very good. Very well organized. I liked the planning process - I didn't have to do it, I just had to approve it. I trusted you completely, with everything... I saw this attention to detail and we really appreciate it.
You were amazing and saved me 90% of the time I would have used... definitely working with Surf Office again, 10/10.
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.
You were unswayable in terms of your positivity, in terms of your proactiveness and cooperation, and just your get it done mentality. So that was really good. Thank you.
Honestly, everything went so smoothly. From Anthony sending us proposals and working hard at finding the right venue, to Romane planning every detail and being so flexible with our requests, to Fernanda being an absolute superstar onsite and being so helpful. Thank you all so much!
I panicked when I learned I had to plan this, I've never done this before. Everything went smoothly for me, I wouldn't have been able to do it without you.
I mean, you guys are magicians. I don't know how you do it... Honestly, it's been great, Jolanda, the support that you've given during the planning stage with all of the prep work that goes into it beforehand. You guys are really, honestly, the best. Thank you so much, you make my life so much easier.
The most popular team building activities are surf lessons, SUP lessons and tapas night but there are plenty more to choose from.
