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.
We got incredibly positive feedback. Many people said it was the best offsite we've ever had. So that's obviously the most important thing from like an organizational point of view. It was super nice working with you guys. I really enjoyed it. It was the first year we had an agency like you guys on board and it did really help, especially now having a much bigger team.
We did send a survey to everyone after the event. And the feedback was very positive. Everyone loved the hotel. People were saying that the food at the venue was very good, which I agree with. The rooms were great. The meeting space was perfect for us. Obviously the beach and the area were perfect. I think it was a great location for our team. There were some people that said this was the best summit they’ve attended.
The feedback has been impeccable. Everybody loved the hotel, loved the staff, loved the support from Surf Office, everything. All the expectations were, you know, not even just met, but went beyond. We loved the way we were taken care of.
The overall feedback was really fantastic. Everybody really liked the venue. They really liked being in the same location. We had a wonderful partnership and we’d love to work with you again.
We walked into it anxious. We walked away from it absolutely amazed by the results. It was so well organized. I would never have been able to do that alone, you pulled that off entirely. It was amazing. The team is buzzing! It blew people away. It definitely blew us away.
I was stressed out before the retreat cause I never did the planning. As soon as we arrived to the hotel, they knew everything and I didn’t have to worry about anything. Big thumbs up to the Surf Office team for the general flexibility, and for the communication.
It was absolutely perfect. There wasn’t one thing that I can criticize. We had a fantastic time, really really good. It went so smoothly, everybody was very happy. Anybody that asked now about how the offsite went, I just say: “It was amazing, you only can use 1 company, you don’t need to use anybody else”.
Amazing. It was I think a really lifelong memory. I think the whole team had a really great time. I never could do this without Surf Office.
It was an awesome experience. It went super smooth, the drivers were on time, food was great, and the flexibility of the hotel was great. We had a truly amazing time and all because of your great work and preparations – you were like the magic fairies that organised everything so beautifully!
The most popular team building activities are surf lessons, SUP lessons and tapas night but there are plenty more to choose from.
