For whom we write this post

- If you are a digital nomad or remote worker who wants to visit Fuerteventura.
- If you need to understand the offer of Coliving in Fuerteventura.
What is Coliving
A coliving in Fuerteventura is a shared accommodation, where you have your own private room, but where you share common areas.
The design of the accommodation allows for the sharing of coworking areas, kitchens, and sometimes bathrooms.
It is important to answer this question, as there are still many doubts regarding this concept.
Clarifying this can help you understand if these accommodations are what you need.
The important thing to highlight in a Coliving is the community that is created, the social relationships, and the shared experiences.
You shouldn’t choose Coliving for the quality of the room or the amenities, but rather, what really sets a Coliving space apart from other accommodations is the communal experience.
What truly differentiates a coliving space from other accommodations is the communal experience.
In these Coliving in Fuerteventura, there are hiking activities, community dinners, outings to visit the island.
It is a shared experience with other members staying with you, making it very easy for you to meet people.
In the Canary Islands, we have many Coliving who do an extraordinary job generating community among the guests who stay in the Coliving.
What is not coliving
A Coliving, therefore, is not a shared apartment, it is not a hotel or a hostel.
At a Coliving in Fuerteventura, you can easily meet other remote workers and digital nomads who are traveling the world.
It’s about sharing and learning from each other.
Therefore, the design of Coliving helps to generate social relationships among Coliving members.
On the other hand, you should know that staying in a coliving does not mean that you should be socializing all day long. It is good to rest and have time for yourself in the room when you think it is convenient.
Some accommodations can be very intense in terms of social life and activities, so you may want to recharge your batteries in your room when you need to.
Important clarification on what is not a coliving
For different reasons, the concept of Coliving is being used for accommodations that do not have a community focus.
Therefore, some spaces call themselves Coliving for marketing purposes, but the reality is that they have no community focus.
Be careful, you can spend a month in an accommodation called Coliving, where you don’t know anyone, and where the guests spend the day locked in the room.
Main characteristics of the Coliving in Fuerteventura
- They have good coworking spaces where you can work remotely from your accommodation.
- Community, different activities are carried out so that the members can spend quality time together, get to know each other, and make friends.
- Design of shared areas that invite socializing.
- Private and comfortable rooms where you can rest.
- A combination of privacy and community in the same accommodation.
How to choose your Coliving in Fuerteventura
This section is very important and you should read it carefully, especially if this is your first time staying in a Coliving in Fuerteventura.
- Ask yourself some questions beforehand, for example, am I looking for a Coliving in Fuerteventura focused on work, or a more chill place, where I can work a few hours a week?
- Review and compare the different websites of each coliving you are interested in. Research the type of community they are building.
- Check out the reviews to see what other former members of the community have to say and try to understand what the environment is like.
- Ask everything you need to know. You can even schedule a call and meet the owner or community manager.
Some Coliving do a lot of activities and go to the beach a lot during the week, others are workspaces where some activity takes place, but are more focused on work.
You must choose what suits your needs.
Can I be productive in a Coliving on Fuerteventura?
In the different Coliving in Fuerteventura that we show you in this post, there are shared work areas or coworkings.
The wifi is fast, since all or most of the Coliving members work remotely.
In the room, you have a desk and sometimes an ergonomic chair, as you may need to work in the room or have calls.
Therefore, these Coliving spaces are designed to allow you to interact while being productive at the same time.
In addition, the work routine of the other residents in the community will help you work.
When should I go?
Fuerteventura is an island you can visit all year round.
The high season in Fuerteventura and the Canary Islands is during the winter, from November to March.
During the high season, we recommend you to plan your trip and book your Coliving space in Fuerteventura months in advance.
During the low season, it is easier to find accommodation, and there are often discounts.
The low season is because Europeans travel less to the Canary Islands, as the weather in Europe is better… therefore, demand decreases.
What kind of island is Fuerteventura?
Fuerteventura is an amazing island, with some of the best beaches in the Canary Islands.
- It has a very mild climate all year round.
- Reasonable cost of living compared to some European countries.
- Safety.
- Very good infrastructure, both in terms of communications and internet.
- Incredible gastronomy.
- Wide variety of accommodations for all tastes.
- All kinds of services, restaurants, and stores.
Who is Fuerteventura for?
Fuerteventura is a quiet island, life goes slowly, and the sea marks the time for its inhabitants.
It is a semi-desert island, not very mountainous. With some of the best and largest beaches in the Canary Islands.
If you are passionate about sea sports, whether sailing, surfing, or diving, this may be your best option.
Fuerteventura has many beaches ideal for all levels. If you are learning, it is perfect, and if you are an experienced surfer, too.
The local gastronomy is exquisite, and we highlight their goat cheeses, something you can’t miss if you visit the island.
Fuerteventura has no city atmosphere, with many cultural activities and nightlife rampant. The capital is a small city with a good variety of restaurants, etc…
In our opinion, Fuerteventura is an island to connect with the sea and all that the sea has to offer.
Surfing in Fuerteventura
The island is a popular destination for surfers, windsurfers, and kite surfers.
The natural conditions of Fuerteventura, with constant winds, sandy beaches, and some rocky beaches, make it a spectacular place for these sports.
Many surf schools have opened all over the island, so you have plenty of variety to choose the water sport school that you like or are interested in.
On the other hand, it is an island that has possibilities for all levels in relation to these sports.
Combine islands
The Canary Islands are an archipelago formed by 7 islands, most of them have Coliving spaces.
Many digital nomads and remote workers travel for a few months or weeks between the islands, staying in different Coliving spaces in the Canary Islands.
To move between the islands, we recommend some of the various ferry lines that exist, such as Fred Olsen.
In addition, there are several local airlines, such as Binter, which have many daily flights between the islands.
Duration of the trip
Another important issue is the duration of your trip. We do not recommend short stays in a Coliving.
You must understand that if the important thing about Coliving in Fuerteventura is the social relationships, these are not formed quickly.
So, stays of about two weeks are the minimum to enjoy a true Coliving experience.
If you have a lot of time and your intention is to spend several months in the archipelago, then you can travel between the islands.
Traveling between islands is easy, but it also allows you to discover other Colving apaces in the Canary Islands.
Remember that the Canary Islands are a very varied archipelago. If we have said that Fuerteventura is semi-desert and not very mountainous. Tenerife is very mountainous and green.
So moving between islands is an option that we see a lot among the remote workers and digital nomads who stay at our Coliving
