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.
It was amazing. I mean, the team was just absolutely over the top, thrilled. Everything was fantastic.
As we wrap up our first-ever company offsite in Portugal, I feel so grateful for the incredible experience we've shared as a team. This past week has been nothing short of amazing, filled with enriching and productive sessions, workshops, and memorable moments.
It was a massive success, the team loved every part of it and all of the restaurants, activities, transfer, etc. that you organised were excellent. I will certainly be contacting Surf Office again for anything I plan in the future.
We had a great retreat! So far all individual feedback that came back through a survey we sent out to the team, was super positive! Everyone really enjoyed it!
We loved it! Our management had very specific requirements for a retreat location... remote and in nature but with room for interaction. The venue and every aspect of this retreat matched that. We loved it so much that we even consider repeating the venue.
Everyone has commented on how well the retreat went, and we really do appreciate everything that you did to make it go so smoothly.
It was amazing. The whole team enjoyed everything. The hospitality, the area, the apartments, the sea view, the hotel staff, the old town. It was perfect, it was our best offsite.
Everything was amazing. So I have only good things to say. Team loved it. Again, I was very congratulated. They were very happy. Everything was on spot.
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.
The most popular team building activities are surf lessons, SUP lessons and tapas night but there are plenty more to choose from.
