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.
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.
