FAQs about company retreats in

Split

Is Split a good location for a corporate offsite?

Split works well for teams that want a coastal setting with a historic backdrop. A company retreat in Split blends seaside views, old town charm, and a lively atmosphere, making it easy to combine structured sessions with social time.

How do teams typically get to Split for a retreat?

Most groups arrive via Split Airport (SPU), located about 30 minutes from the city center. During peak season, there are direct flights from many European cities, and airport transfers are straightforward to arrange.

When is the best time to organize a corporate retreat in Split?

Late spring and early autumn, especially May to June and September to October, offer the best balance with temperatures around 22–28°C. Summer is popular but busier and hotter, while winter is quieter and more limited for outdoor plans.

Which areas in Split are best for a company retreat stay?

The Old Town is ideal for walkability and atmosphere, Bačvice offers beach access and a social feel, and areas slightly outside the center provide more space and quieter accommodation for teams.

What team-building activities can be arranged in Split?

Teams often organize boat trips to nearby islands like Hvar or Brač, walking tours of Diocletian’s Palace, kayaking, wine tastings, and beach-based activities. Island hopping is one of the standout experiences.

How long should a corporate retreat in Split last?

A 3 to 4 day format is the most common. This gives enough time for meetings, one or two standout activities, and relaxed evenings without rushing the schedule.

What makes Split different from other coastal retreat destinations in Croatia?

Split offers a mix of city energy and coastal access in one place. Unlike smaller island destinations, it has more infrastructure while still keeping a Mediterranean feel.

What kind of food and social experiences can teams expect in Split?

Teams can enjoy fresh seafood, Dalmatian cuisine, and group dinners in historic settings. Evenings often include waterfront dining, wine bars, or casual gatherings in the Old Town.

Can Split accommodate both small and large company retreats?

It can. Smaller teams often prefer boutique stays or apartments, while larger groups can use hotels and organized venues, though early booking is important during peak months.

Why do companies choose Split for a corporate retreat in Croatia?

Split offers a combination of accessibility, scenery, and variety. For teams planning a corporate retreat in Croatia that includes both work and memorable outdoor experiences, it’s a well-rounded choice.

We recently worked with Surf Office to plan an offsite for our team in Sintra, Portugal and the experience was excellent. Elke went above and beyond throughout the entire process, even driving to visit the location herself to ensure everything was perfect. She was instrumental in securing a restaurant that opened exclusively for our group, making the experience truly special. The hotel was lovely, with breathtaking views that provided the ideal backdrop for both work and relaxation. The space was perfect for connecting, brainstorming, and fostering team collaboration. Every detail was thoughtfully managed. We would wholeheartedly recommend Surf Office to others looking to host memorable and productive retreats!

Romane LeBrec-Foulatier was a fantastic partner in planning this event. She did a wonderful job of introducing the planning project via Coda and then was extremely helpful and conscientious in helping us plan toward the event. I always felt that I could depend on her follow-up and she was clear and articulate in her guidance. She was also proactive in flagging items that needed extra consideration or in raising potential issues with the schedule or venue or planning. We really loved the Coda site that she created to for planning and also the Coda dashboard that we shared with the team; the team found it very helpful as well. Lastly, Romane was critical in helping on our last day in France when the taxi drivers were on strike - she very quickly implemented a contingency plan and helped us communicate it to the team through the Coda site. Similarly. Álvaro Pérez-Segnini was very helpful in helping us choose the Chantilly location. He understood the parameters of the offsite and got back to us with multiple proposals in a limited time frame. He helped us understand which option would be the best for us and he helped us negotiate the best space and the best price.

Great offer - hotel did fit perfectly with our expectations. Danielle who took care about our company did a great job, was super available before the event and was a great help to accommodate with every impediment and change we faced and find the best solution for us. Also during the event, she was always available to make our stay a awesome moment.

Jean
Senior Director of Engineering

We had such a fantastic experience working with SurfOffice! It was our very first time getting external support for our company retreat – and we couldn’t have asked for a better partner. From the very beginning, we felt incredibly well taken care of. The regular check-ins helped us go through every detail and made sure nothing was overlooked. And in the end, everything turned out exactly as we had hoped! The implementation was seamless, and the SurfOffice team was always there to support us – even during the retreat itself. A huge thank you for your time, effort, and amazing support. You truly made our retreat an unforgettable experience. We can’t wait to work with you again next year!

Victoria
Operations & Office Manager

We had an amazing experience! Everything was perfectly organized from A to Z. As a vegan company, it’s usually quite difficult to find places that can fully accommodate our needs — but the Surf Office team handled everything with ease. They weren’t afraid of any request, preference, or extra thing we asked for. The communication was smooth, fast, and friendly throughout the entire process. We truly appreciated the attention to detail and how flexible and supportive the team was. We can’t recommend them enough!

Executive Assistant

I have just wrapped up my fourth annual retreat with Surf Office, this time hosted in Mallorca, and as always they created the perfect experience for myself and my team. Our sales representative Giselle was brilliant, she listened to what we needed and came back with venue options that were perfect for our budget and vibe. Romane was my main contact throughout for the logistics. We had some last-minute changes and she managed everything like a pro, even securing us refunds when we had a cancellation. This is why I keep coming back to Surf Office for our annual event. They actually care about making the retreat something special. It's that personal touch that makes all the difference.

Claire
Head of Operations and Community

We recently worked with Surf Office to plan an off-site retreat for 105 people, and the experience from start to finish was absolutely seamless. From the initial proposal stage, through planning, to on site support, everything went perfectly, and we honestly couldn’t have done it without them. A special thanks to Alvaro and Elke. Alvaro was our initial intro to Surf Office, and working with him on proposals for the retreat was a pleasure. He understood our needs and helped shape the retreat options. Once the planning stage began, Elke took over as our retreat planner. She made everything feel completely in hand and ensured that every detail was looked after. Nothing was ever too much to ask. On site, Fernanda and Bibi were fantastic. With their support, everything ran super smoothly, and we had all the help we could possibly need. The feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive, everyone LOVED the trip! A huge well done to the whole team. We couldn’t recommend them enough.

Kevin
CEO

Our team had an amazing experience working with Surf Office. From the very first conversation, their team was incredibly communicative, organized, and attentive to every detail. They made the entire retreat-planning process smooth and stress-free from venue coordination to activities and logistics, everything was handled with care and professionalism. What really stood out was their responsiveness and ability to anticipate our needs before we even mentioned them. It’s clear they truly understand what makes a company retreat successful. If you’re looking for a partner who combines efficiency, great communication, and genuine hospitality, look no further than Surf Office. We couldn’t recommend them more!

Ierusha
Sr Executive Assistant

I had a wonderful experience working with the SurOffice team. I’d like to specifically highlight Raquel and Giselle, who have been incredibly supportive from day one. They were always proactive in checking in, handling last-minute requests, and doing so with the utmost professionalism and politeness. This was my second time working with the team, and it was an absolute pleasure. I would definitely look forward to collaborating with them again in the future.
