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.
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.
