Welcome to Tenerife, digital nomads! As a sunny, emerging hotspot for remote workers, Tenerife offers an ideal blend of work and leisure, balancing the eternal spring weather with vibrant digital nomad communities.
But how can you be productive, when you are surrounded by paradise all the time? Here are our best tips for you:
Embrace To-Do Lists: Stay on track with digital tools like Trello or Asana, or go old-school with pen and paper. The more structure and order you have in your work, the more productive you are. And the more time you have to explore Tenerife.
Prioritize Tasks: Utilize the Eisenhower Matrix to categorize tasks by urgency and importance. Tackle the difficult ones when you're most energized. Perfect when you need to focus: The Villa La Laguna - Coworking Room. Even though you are in the middle of the vibrant city La Laguna, you will find peace here, and with a view of the garden, you'll be able to tackle even difficult tasks.
Minimize Distractions: Set boundaries in co-working spaces or cafes. Noise-canceling headphones, like Bose QuietComfort or AirPods Pro, are lifesavers. In La Laguna as well as in Santa Cruz are many nice cafes. Stay tuned for our blog posts about the best ones for digital nomads, including fast wifi.
Create a Flexible Schedule: Align your work hours with your most productive times, but don’t forget to include breaks for exploring the island! Maybe you want to go to the beach in the morning and prefer to be productive in the evening, or the other way around. The good thing is, as a digital nomad, you are absolutely free in designing your day.
Outsource When Possible: Delegate tasks to focus on core activities or enjoy downtime. Use AI like ChatGPT for virtual assistance. Be creative and enjoy your workation as much as you can.
Balance Work with Self-Care: Prioritize sleep, regular exercise, and explore Tenerife’s wonders to stay inspired. How about yoga on the beach or your first surfing lesson? Villa La Laguna is also perfectly suited for slow mornings. First, enjoy your coffee peacefully in the Zen-garden or by one of our windows, and start your day calmly.
Explore Tenerife Finding the perfect work routine as a digital nomad is one thing, taking enough time to explore the island is another. Find out what you can do in Tenerife before your Coliving time at Villa La Laguna starts.
Here are our best tips:
North vs South: The North offers a rainforest-like environment and Spanish culture, while the South is sunnier, perfect for beach lovers. The good thing is the island is not too big to explore every part while your Coliving experience. No matter if you rent a car and explore it with your roomies or if you use the busses and explore it on your own - there are many stunning places, you will be amazed.
Mount Teide: Explore this majestic volcano for a breathtaking experience. With 3718 meters, it's the highest peak of Spain. But be prepared, it can be really cold there! For more insider tips and the reason why you should also go there once at night stay tuned for our blog post about Teide at Day & Night - coming soon :)
Beach and Water Sports: Embrace watersports with lessons in jet skiing or kitesurfing. El Medano is the place to be if you wanna start taking lessons in kitesurfing for example. If you like the surf-vibe, you will love this place.
Vitamin Sea: From Playa de Los Gigantes to Playa Jardin, each beach offers unique experiences. We recommend you also to visit the natural pools. Garachico’s El Caletón, for example, is a series of natural pools created by a volcanic eruption in the 18th century. These pools, with their crystal-clear waters, offer a tranquil retreat for swimming and soaking up the sun. Bajamar and Punta de Hidalgo, on the other side of the island, present another set of natural pools, surrounded by breathtaking scenery, perfect for those seeking a serene dip in nature's own creation.
Museums and Culture: Explore the History and Anthropology Museum in La Laguna for a dose of local history. When you stay at Villa La Laguna, all of this is right at your doorstep. Just a few minutes' walk away is also the library. The architecture of the library reflects the city's blend of tradition and innovation. It's a popular destination not just for locals but also for students, academics, and of course digital nomads, offering a peaceful retreat for anyone looking to immerse themselves in literature or work.
Tenerife is the ideal place to find balance between productivity and relaxation. There you can make the most out of your digital nomad lifestyle, for sure.
