We've put together a list of
team-building activities for company retreats in
Silver Coast
, including options that work well for both small and large teams.
From Nazaré’s cliffs to Óbidos and Portugal’s Atlantic coastline, this retreat agenda is built around coastal experiences, structured sessions, and time to explore the Silver Coast.
The Silver Coast is a strong choice for teams looking for an authentic Portuguese coastal experience without the crowds of the Algarve. A company retreat here combines ocean views, small towns, and a slower pace that supports focus and meaningful team connection.
Most teams fly into Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS), then travel 60–90 minutes north by car depending on the exact location. Private transfers or rental cars are usually the most practical way to reach coastal towns.
Late spring and early autumn, especially May to June and September to October, offer the most comfortable conditions with temperatures around 18–26°C. Summer is also popular but can be windier along the coast.
Popular areas include Ericeira for its surf culture and accessibility, Peniche for dramatic ocean views, and Óbidos for a more historic and unique setting. Many teams also choose villas or boutique hotels for privacy.
Teams often focus on outdoor activities such as surf lessons, coastal hikes, wine tastings in nearby regions, boat trips, and cultural visits to towns like Óbidos or Alcobaça.
A 3 to 4 day retreat is common. This gives enough time for structured sessions, group activities, and some flexibility without overloading the schedule.
The region is known for seafood and traditional Portuguese cuisine. Teams often organize group dinners featuring fresh fish, local wines, and specialties like caldeirada or grilled seafood.
The Silver Coast is generally more affordable than Lisbon or the Algarve. Accommodation and dining offer strong value, particularly outside peak summer months.
The Silver Coast offers a more local and less commercial experience. A team building retreat here focuses on nature, ocean landscapes, and smaller towns rather than resort-style environments.
Transport logistics are important, as most locations require cars. Weather, especially wind conditions, can also influence outdoor plans.
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.
