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.
In full transparency, everyone loved it. People are still talking about it. The main goal was team bonding and you helped me to reach it.
Everyone was delighted by the venue, the activities, the transfer coordination and everything! Long live Surf Office! Can’t wait to plan our next company retreat with you :)
Our team offsite retreat was excellent - great food, weather and activities. Even the people that couldn't attend wished they could have made it. And the location was perfect. Surf Office - Thank you very much for your help and support with planning and organization - and Beatriz our retreat manager was fantastic - fast, efficient and always kept us informed. It really made the difference. It really did!
Surf Office helped us plan our 60 person staff retreat, scoping locations, venues, restaurants, activities, and more. Angela was really on top of it and paid close attention to all of the details. Definitely saved us time on research and back-and-forth with all of the various contact persons!
We went into talks with SurfOffice and hit it off with the founders to make this happen. Theres a team that will guide you through the choice and a platform for when you are to arrive with an agenda. Our team likes to bring in community members to these types of events and the crew is excited. The onboarding is going well and we paid the deposit, and we're looking forward to the trip. Our party had to reduce significantly due to constraints and the team has been accomodating so far. 5* everyone had a good time and Rayna on site made everyone feel comfortable.
The location was great, the areas dedicated to us were amazing and all things we asked for were there - also, I love the shared dashboard to organize.
I recently worked with Surf Office to organize an offsite retreat for my company in Gran Canaria, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Beatriz, the retreat planner, was incredible. From start to finish, she was exceptionally organized, responsive, and attentive to every detail. Planning a retreat for a team can be daunting, but Beatriz made the process seamless. She answered all my questions quickly and thoroughly, and her recommendations were spot-on. The offsite itself was beyond amazing – the accommodations and activities were perfectly tailored to our team’s needs. Surf Office took all the stress out of planning and delivered an unforgettable experience for our group. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to plan a work retreat. If you’re lucky enough to have Beatriz as your planner, you’re in great hands!
The most popular team building activities are surf lessons, SUP lessons and tapas night but there are plenty more to choose from.
