Frequently asked questions
When is the best time of year for a corporate retreat in Costa Rica?
The best time for a corporate retreat in Costa Rica is December to April, during the dry season, when conditions are generally sunnier and more predictable for outdoor activities, beach programmes, and excursions. The green season runs from May to November, bringing more frequent rainfall, particularly in the afternoons. However, this period is often quieter, with lush landscapes and fewer visitors. Many retreats still take place successfully during these months, especially when programmes combine indoor sessions with flexible outdoor activities.
What does We Offsite's company retreat planning include?
We Offsite’s company retreat planning covers the full end-to-end organisation of a corporate offsite, from sourcing the right venue to managing all logistics on the ground. This usually includes sourcing & booking venues, accommodations, meeting spaces, meals, activities and programme design (balancing work sessions with activities). It also covers travel coordination, supplier management, and on-site support to ensure the retreat runs smoothly.
What teambuilding activities are popular in Costa Rica?
Team building in Costa Rica often takes advantage of the country’s beaches, rainforests, and outdoor adventure opportunities. Many groups organise activities such as ziplining, hiking, surfing lessons, kayaking, paddleboarding, and catamaran cruises along the Pacific coast. Nature-based experiences are also popular, including wildlife tours, rainforest walks, waterfall visits, and volcano excursions. For teams looking for a more relaxed programme, wellness activities such as yoga sessions, spa experiences, and beachside group activities are commonly included in corporate retreats.
Which are the best company retreat venues in Costa Rica?
The best company retreat venues in Costa Rica include JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort & Spa for company retreats, a beachfront resort on the Pacific coast with extensive meeting facilities, outdoor event spaces, and a setting suited to both conferences and team activities, and The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Golf Resort & Spa for company retreats, located alongside Playa Conchal with meeting facilities, outdoor venues, and a wide range of activities for corporate groups.
