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.

Surf Office was amazing to work with - from the initial introductory call to the final day of our corporate retreat! They are well-organised, transparent, super reliable and the communication throughout the planning and execution phase was prompt and clear. We are looking forward to working with them for future company retreats.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Elke and Álvaro to plan our onsite, and I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, they were incredibly friendly, responsive, and genuinely enthusiastic about helping us create a great event. Elke was so thoughtful and organized, always making sure every little detail was covered and keeping everything running smoothly. She brought such a positive energy to the process — she was super approachable and made collaboration easy and fun. Throughout the entire planning period, they both went above and beyond to support us. I really appreciated how proactive they were in anticipating our needs, and how enjoyable every interaction was. It truly felt like working with partners who cared as much about the success of our onsite as we did. Thank you, Elke and Álvaro, for being such a joy to work with! I’d happily work with you both again any time.

Thea
Manager of Operations

It's our second year working with Surf Office for our company offsite (30 pax first year, and 42 pax second year), and we're super happy! This year our offsite was a huge success, with direct impact on our employees' satisfaction, company culture, and alignment with our mission. The week they put together for us was perfect on all fronts: venue selection, logistics, activities, last-minute changes - everything was super well executed. Couldn't recommend them more! And... I know whom we're working with next year!

Charlotte
Head of Strategy & Operations

Working with Surf Office was a great experience from start to finish. Communication was smooth, the planning was thoughtful, and the platform made coordination easy. We really appreciated the well-curated suggestions for locations, activities, and restaurants – everything felt carefully considered. Beyond that, the setup created a great team atmosphere, making it easy to connect and enjoy our time together. We would definitely recommend Surf Office to any team looking for a well-organized and inspiring retreat.

Danielle, Giselle and the SurfOffice team were extremely cooperative, understanding and flexible to support my team’s 80-person offsite in Belgrade, Serbia. From being patient with our company’s lengthy vendor due diligence and procurement process, to responding swiftly when an attendee misplaced her passport - everything went really smoothly. Working with them took a huge load off our shoulders and their relationships with hotels/activities/venues also helped us secure good deals. Would definitely recommend their services to any company who’s looking to plan for an enjoyable team offsite.

Peera
Strategy & Operations Manager

We recently organized our company offsite with SurfOffice, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning: The location selection and contract negotiations with Giselle, to the actual planning and execution of the offsite together with Elke, everything was handled exceptionally well. Working with Elke was truly outstanding. She was incredibly proactive, always thinking several steps ahead, and responded extremely quickly to every question or change. She managed to get fast answers from all providers: from transport companies to hotels and local activity partners- and did so with a consistently friendly and professional attitude. Thanks to her dedication, we had little organizational workload on our side, and we always felt fully supported. The offsite turned out to be an amazing experience for our whole team, and we’re certain we couldn’t have organized something like this on our own. SurfOffice played a huge role in making our offsite in Kemer such a success, and we can wholeheartedly recommend them to any company planning an offsite for a larger group.

Sara was fantastic in organising our company trip to Istanbul - she was quick to reply, offered great solutions to issues, and made the trip itself seamless and enjoyable. Already looking forward to the next one!

This was our second year working with Surf to plan our annual company retreat, and once again, they smashed it. We had a beautiful, restorative and fun retreat just outside of Barcelona that the whole team loved. It was so lovely to have the team's support in planning such a complex event, and they did a great job at helping us stay within budget. Great experience overall.
