Work & Surf coliving · Gran Canaria
A one-month coliving in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria for remote professionals. Your room with a desk, a surf lesson every weekday and a small community to share it with.
The experience
While Northern Europe has cold, short winter days, Gran Canaria keeps beach weather all year round and Las Canteras has good surf conditions. Keep your job, change your day.
From the rooftop, the living room or the desk in your room.
Early before work or at midday, you choose. With an expert local instructor, 3 minutes from the house.
A bit more work if you need it, then the day is yours: surf on your own, hike, rooftop barbecues, beach volleyball, beach tennis or ultimate frisbee.
Night snorkelling, any other sport you fancy, or drinks with the others by the sea.

Why here
Sun, surf and city life in one of the mildest climates in Europe. Here is why we chose this island, this city and this beach.
Winter days of around 20°C, long hours of sunshine and a warm sea. Same time zone as the UK and just one hour behind Central Europe, so your working day stays in sync with your team. And you are still in Spain and the EU.
Volcanic peaks like Roque Nublo, green ravines, pine forests and the Maspalomas dunes, all about an hour away. Perfect for hiking, road trips and discovering something new every weekend.
The lively capital of the island, with restaurants, cafés, markets, nightlife and cultural life, plus a big international community of remote workers. Everything you need is within walking distance.
A 3 km urban beach with golden sand and a seafront promenade to walk, run or cycle. La Cícer, the surf area of the beach, is right in front of the house and is known for its consistent waves and as a great place to learn.
Gran Canaria Airport has direct flights to most major European cities, including Scandinavia, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK. From the airport to the house it is around 30 minutes by car.
Short flights and ferries connect you to the rest of the archipelago. Tenerife and Fuerteventura are the closest, and Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro make perfect weekend escapes.
