Advantages of Coliving in Gran Canaria

Choosing a coliving space as your residence in Gran Canaria can bring many benefits. The life of a digital nomad who chooses this destination to spend some time, thanks to the digital nomad visa of Spain, can feel lonely. Remote work is a very beneficial type of work as it allows you to choose where you want to work, but the disadvantage is the lack of physical interaction with other colleagues. Discover all the benefits of being a coliver:

Significant Savings on the Island

Compared to an Airbnb, hotel, or traditional rental apartment, coliving spaces in Gran Canaria, with shared common areas, offer substantial savings for your budget. For example, if the monthly rent of an apartment in a central area of Gran Canaria is around €1,000 per month ($1,037), by staying in a coliving space, you could reduce this cost by 30%, saving around €300 per month ($311).

Outdoor Work Environments

Thanks to the good climate all year round on this island, with an average of 20 to 25 degrees, most coliving spaces in Gran Canaria are designed for remote work outdoors in the sun. It’s common to see colivers working on their laptops from a terrace, patio, garden, or poolside any month of the year.

Events and Activities to Explore the Island

A coliving space in Gran Canaria maximises all the activities you can do on the island: surfing, diving, paddleboarding, kayaking, windsurfing, kitesurfing, hiking, barbecues, etc. Most water sports are available all year round, and coliving spaces often organise lessons for beginners to advanced levels.

International community and networking

Gran Canaria is a destination chosen by many nomads from different countries, and this is a great opportunity to meet other international professionals to build networking relationships for career growth. You’ll find colivers with similar interests, learn new languages, and bond personally too.
