The Hague blends a professional urban vibe with the casual charm of a beach town, making it an ideal location for your next city retreat. It’s a place where your team can brainstorm in modern meeting spaces by day and unwind along the North Sea coast by evening.
With its unique blend of international flair and laid-back seaside atmosphere, The Hague is perfect for team-building.
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.
It was amazing. I mean, the team was just absolutely over the top, thrilled. Everything was fantastic.
As we wrap up our first-ever company offsite in Portugal, I feel so grateful for the incredible experience we've shared as a team. This past week has been nothing short of amazing, filled with enriching and productive sessions, workshops, and memorable moments.
It was a massive success, the team loved every part of it and all of the restaurants, activities, transfer, etc. that you organised were excellent. I will certainly be contacting Surf Office again for anything I plan in the future.
We had a great retreat! So far all individual feedback that came back through a survey we sent out to the team, was super positive! Everyone really enjoyed it!
We loved it! Our management had very specific requirements for a retreat location... remote and in nature but with room for interaction. The venue and every aspect of this retreat matched that. We loved it so much that we even consider repeating the venue.
Everyone has commented on how well the retreat went, and we really do appreciate everything that you did to make it go so smoothly.
It was amazing. The whole team enjoyed everything. The hospitality, the area, the apartments, the sea view, the hotel staff, the old town. It was perfect, it was our best offsite.
Everything was amazing. So I have only good things to say. Team loved it. Again, I was very congratulated. They were very happy. Everything was on spot.
We have organized company retreats for our distributed 30 people team multiple times with Surf Office and the team has loved it every time. Surf Office has some great venues as part of their portfolio and do a great job helping to facilitate pretty much everything from accommodation, food, activities, airport transfers etc.
The most popular team building activities are surf lessons, SUP lessons and tapas night but there are plenty more to choose from.
