Relocate your office for a week to stunning Gran Canaria, escape European winter and work from the beach.
Develop powerful new ideas through a company retreat at one of the world’s top urban beaches, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
Gran Canaria is the third-largest island in the Canaries’ archipelago, and locals call it a miniature continent.
It sounds cliché to amazed tourists in travel catalogs, but when you spend some time here, you realize that it’s far from a cliché – mountains, desert, beaches, forests, colonial cities, and small hidden villages. Sound too good to be true? It’s not!
The islands belong to Spain and are not far from the mainland, making them easy to get to from around the world. You don’t need a visa if you’re a European Union resident and you can pay in €.
Known for its excellent year-round weather, Gran Canaria is a great escape, no matter what season you’re considering your company getaway in.
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is the city from which Christopher Columbus planned his voyage to America, and so Gran Canaria is a colonial city that beams with history, and colors.
There is plenty to do and explore in the capital city, such as street concerts, restaurants, and the local night-life and surfers call it a paradise.
We've put together this list of
team-building activities in
Gran Canaria
to help you get the most out of your visit.
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 :)
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.
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.
The most popular team building activities are surf lessons, SUP lessons and tapas night but there are plenty more to choose from.
