What is Coliving
Coliving is an accommodation model that combines private spaces (your own room, sometimes with en-suite bathroom) with shared common areas (kitchen, living room, coworking, terrace). It is much more than a shared flat: coliving spaces offer a curated community, events, cleaning and all utilities included in a fixed monthly fee.
In Las Palmas, coliving has grown enormously since 2020. The city attracts thousands of digital nomads and remote workers every year, and coliving spaces have adapted to offer flexible stays from 1 to 12 months with everything you need to live and work without hassle.
Who is Coliving For
- Digital nomads arriving in Las Palmas for the first time
- Remote workers looking for community and networking
- Freelancers who want to avoid the isolation of working alone
- Professionals in transition exploring new destinations
- Entrepreneurs seeking synergies with other residents

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a coliving in Las Palmas cost?
Prices range from €600 to €900 per month for a private room. The price varies depending on location, services included and quality of facilities. Most include utilities, WiFi and cleaning.
What is the minimum stay?
It depends on the space. Some accept stays from 1 week, but most have a minimum of 2 weeks to 1 month. The best prices come with commitments of 2-3 months.
Do coliving spaces include coworking?
Not all of them. Some like Nine Coliving or Coworking C have coworking space included. Others offer only a basic work area, and you will need to get an external coworking membership if you want a professional environment.
Is coliving better than a shared flat?
Coliving offers a much more structured experience: curated community, events, cleaning included and flexible stays. A shared flat is cheaper but requires finding flatmates, managing bills and signing longer contracts.
Can I come as a couple to a coliving?
Some coliving spaces offer double rooms, but the price increases considerably. For couples, a private apartment like Casita Palmera is usually more comfortable and better value.
What is the best time to find availability?
Digital nomad high season runs from October to April. Booking 1-2 months in advance is recommended during those months. In summer there is more availability and sometimes reduced prices.
Do I need a rental contract for the digital nomad visa?
Coliving spaces usually issue an invoice or stay contract that can serve as proof of accommodation for administrative procedures. Check with the specific coliving before booking if you need it for your visa application.
Do coliving spaces allow pets?
Most do not allow pets. If you are travelling with a pet, a private apartment will be much easier to find.
