We've put together a list of
team-building activities for company retreats in
The Hague
, including options that work well for both small and large teams.
Bringing leadership together between The Hague’s city centre and its canals, this retreat agenda focuses on strategic alignment, deep discussions, and a more intimate shared experience designed for meaningful conversation.
The Hague is a strong choice for teams that want a quieter, more refined alternative to Amsterdam with the added benefit of the beach. A corporate retreat in The Hague combines international atmosphere, coastal access, and a compact layout that works well for both focused sessions and relaxed team time.
The Hague is easily accessible via Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS), which is about 30–40 minutes away by direct train. Rotterdam The Hague Airport (RTM) is another option, around 25–30 minutes by car, making travel relatively smooth for international teams.
Late spring and early autumn tend to offer the best balance, with temperatures typically between 15–25°C. Summer is popular for beach-based activities, while winter months are quieter and better suited for indoor-focused retreats.
The city centre is the most practical for access and walkability, Scheveningen is ideal if you want a beach-focused setup, Statenkwartier offers a more upscale and calm environment, and Zeeheldenkwartier has a creative, local feel.
Teams often go for beach games and workshops in Scheveningen, cycling tours, interactive city challenges, museum visits like Mauritshuis, and day trips to nearby Delft or Rotterdam.
The Hague works particularly well for balancing structured sessions with downtime. In our experience, teams we’ve hosted appreciate how easy it is to shift from meetings to beach walks or group dinners without complicated logistics.
Most teams plan 2 to 4 days in The Hague. This gives enough time for meetings, at least one team activity, and some relaxed social time without making the agenda feel rushed.
Unlike Amsterdam or Rotterdam, The Hague offers a more relaxed atmosphere. A corporate retreat in The Hague feels less crowded and more spacious, with the added benefit of being close to the sea.
Yes, this is one of the city’s biggest advantages. Teams can plan activities directly on Scheveningen Beach, including sports, workshops, or casual seaside dinners, especially in warmer months.
The Hague is well suited for strategy sessions, leadership offsites, and company retreats that benefit from a calm and professional setting with access to outdoor and coastal environments.
The entire offsite was very great, very good. Very well organized. I liked the planning process - I didn't have to do it, I just had to approve it. I trusted you completely, with everything... I saw this attention to detail and we really appreciate it.
You were amazing and saved me 90% of the time I would have used... definitely working with Surf Office again, 10/10.
From the very first contact to the last goodbye, Surf Office was an incredible company to work with for our company retreat in Portugal. The customer service was top tier and every single person I interacted with was absolutely lovely, professional and so helpful.
You were unswayable in terms of your positivity, in terms of your proactiveness and cooperation, and just your get it done mentality. So that was really good. Thank you.
Honestly, everything went so smoothly. From Anthony sending us proposals and working hard at finding the right venue, to Romane planning every detail and being so flexible with our requests, to Fernanda being an absolute superstar onsite and being so helpful. Thank you all so much!
I panicked when I learned I had to plan this, I've never done this before. Everything went smoothly for me, I wouldn't have been able to do it without you.
I mean, you guys are magicians. I don't know how you do it... Honestly, it's been great, Jolanda, the support that you've given during the planning stage with all of the prep work that goes into it beforehand. You guys are really, honestly, the best. Thank you so much, you make my life so much easier.
The most popular team building activities are surf lessons, SUP lessons and tapas night but there are plenty more to choose from.
