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 couldn't do it without you. You were a huge support for us. We did a feedback survey asking the team how everything was, asking about the hotel, the food, the program etc. and they were able to rate from 1 to 10, & overall we have a 9.5 So it was really really successful!
The expectations were really high. We put a lot of pressure on you since the start, telling you about our last events in the Moroccan desert and in Eiffel Tower. But it was great. The organization was really smooth. The event was beyond expectation!
We did a survey with the guys, we have like mostly 9/10, or 10/10. People were really having so much fun… they were very happy with the choice of the place. The venue, the weather, the team dynamics, it all came together really well.
I really felt having you being part of it was such an asset. Just knowing that you were point in organizing this and then also if there was a question or problem we could just reach out directly was really helpful.
Everybody loved it! We did a post-offsite survey, and it was all vibes! Everything went to plan. One thing that we were all saying internally as well is like - I honestly don't think we would have made happen unless we had Surf Office.
It was great! People loved the balance of free time and activities. They loved that we gave them options on activities.
We have been doing this since 2008, so it was the 17th event this year. And the consensus was that this was the best ever. Everybody was super happy, they had lots of fun. So it was great.
People got together, people got to see each other. We had really good internal sessions, and also a lot of off time sessions. I feel Surf Office thought of a lot of things that one would not think when you're planning an off site in another country.
We have grown so much since our last event, so were a lot of people, and we needed those three days to talk, to interact with everyone... You handled it so beautifully. We did not have to worry about organizing or arranging anything. You guys did an amazing job.
The most popular team building activities are surf lessons, SUP lessons and tapas night but there are plenty more to choose from.
