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.
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.
