The city hosts major institutions and startups alike, creating a culture of innovation and collaboration. Its walkable city center, vibrant food scene, and proximity to Scheveningen Beach make it easy for teams to stay engaged, connected, and inspired.

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.
In full transparency, everyone loved it. People are still talking about it. The main goal was team bonding and you helped me to reach it.
Everyone was delighted by the venue, the activities, the transfer coordination and everything! Long live Surf Office! Can’t wait to plan our next company retreat with you :)
Our team offsite retreat was excellent - great food, weather and activities. Even the people that couldn't attend wished they could have made it. And the location was perfect. Surf Office - Thank you very much for your help and support with planning and organization - and Beatriz our retreat manager was fantastic - fast, efficient and always kept us informed. It really made the difference. It really did!
Surf Office helped us plan our 60 person staff retreat, scoping locations, venues, restaurants, activities, and more. Angela was really on top of it and paid close attention to all of the details. Definitely saved us time on research and back-and-forth with all of the various contact persons!
We went into talks with SurfOffice and hit it off with the founders to make this happen. Theres a team that will guide you through the choice and a platform for when you are to arrive with an agenda. Our team likes to bring in community members to these types of events and the crew is excited. The onboarding is going well and we paid the deposit, and we're looking forward to the trip. Our party had to reduce significantly due to constraints and the team has been accomodating so far. 5* everyone had a good time and Rayna on site made everyone feel comfortable.
The location was great, the areas dedicated to us were amazing and all things we asked for were there - also, I love the shared dashboard to organize.
I recently worked with Surf Office to organize an offsite retreat for my company in Gran Canaria, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Beatriz, the retreat planner, was incredible. From start to finish, she was exceptionally organized, responsive, and attentive to every detail. Planning a retreat for a team can be daunting, but Beatriz made the process seamless. She answered all my questions quickly and thoroughly, and her recommendations were spot-on. The offsite itself was beyond amazing – the accommodations and activities were perfectly tailored to our team’s needs. Surf Office took all the stress out of planning and delivered an unforgettable experience for our group. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to plan a work retreat. If you’re lucky enough to have Beatriz as your planner, you’re in great hands!
The most popular team building activities are surf lessons, SUP lessons and tapas night but there are plenty more to choose from.
