Frequently asked questions
When is the best time of year for a corporate retreat in Riviera Maya?
The best time for a corporate retreat in Riviera Maya is December to April, when the weather is warm, sunny, and generally dry, making it ideal for beach activities, excursions, and outdoor group programmes. May to October is the wetter and more humid season, with a higher chance of tropical rain and storms, particularly between August and October, which is also peak hurricane period. That said, many retreats still run during this time thanks to strong resort infrastructure and indoor event facilities, often with more flexibility in the agenda.
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.

It also covers travel coordination, supplier management, and on-site support to ensure the retreat runs smoothly.
What teambuilding activities are popular in Riviera Maya?
Team building in Riviera Maya often revolves around the Caribbean coastline, cenotes, and nearby cultural sites. Many groups organise catamaran trips, snorkelling, kayaking, paddleboarding, and beach-based challenges along the coast. Inland, cenote swimming and exploration are very popular, along with visits to eco-parks and jungle adventure activities such as ziplining and ATV tours. Cultural experiences also feature heavily, including visits to Mayan ruins like Tulum or Coba, as well as cooking classes, tequila tastings, and beachside wellness sessions such as yoga or group meditation.
