Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands and a well-known vacation destination within Europe. However, its mild climate makes it not just popular for holidays, but also among digital nomads who prefer to take their work to sunny places.
The community of digital nomads on the island is growing steadily. Many return each year to spend the winter on this Spanish dream island. They meet in coliving houses, at coworking spaces, or fittingly for the "digital" in "digital nomads," they also connect online. What results from these interactions are unforgettable adventures and sometimes even friendships for life.
But what makes the island so perfect for living and working abroad?
Why Tenerife Appeals to Digital Nomads:
Diverse Climate Zones:Â In Tenerife, you don't have to choose between summer beach vibes and springtime hikes. The island's unique topography means you can enjoy a morning swim and an afternoon mountain trek - all in the same day. The south of Tenerife boasts warm and sunny weather throughout the year, attracting a large number of tourists seeking sunshine and warmth. Meanwhile, the north offers a more spring-like climate, ideal for those looking to escape the harsh winter without enduring the intense heat of the sun all day.
Coworking Spaces:Â With a vibrant community of digital nomads, Tenerife boasts numerous coworking spaces. These hubs not only provide high-speed internet and comfortable workstations but also foster networking and creativity. You find them in the capital Santa Cruz and the university city La Laguna, but also in the south in Costa Adeje.
Coliving Communities: The concept of coliving in Tenerife goes beyond shared accommodation. It’s about building connections, sharing experiences, and fostering a sense of belonging among like-minded professionals. Nowadays, there are numerous events hosted by coworking spaces and similar venues on Tenerife. Additionally, the island itself offers a lively party scene, along with numerous village festivals and concerts, providing a rich and varied social life
