Wow! I had such an amazing time at Cactus Coliving on La Gomera! The people I met were so kind and sweet, the coliving itself was great, and the location is perfect because it’s so close to the beach and surrounded by nature.
The volunteers and community manager plan weekly activities that you’re free to join. During my stay, we did yoga (with a trained yoga teacher!), brunch, family dinners, exercise sessions, and so many other group activities together.
At the same time, you can always take time for yourself — relax in a hammock or play ping pong (which we did a lot!).
I will definitely come back. Thank you for this fantastic time!
Good vibes.
Cactus Coliving Gomera exceeded all my already high expectations.
I stayed a month, and loved every day.
La Gomera is known as ‘La isla magica’,
and this place felt magical as well.
The location is great: close to the beach, the sunrise, the bus station
and the market with delicious papaya’s and amazing avocados.
The volunteers were wonderful: always available for any question and full of great ideas, and they made Sunday’s community breakfast a feast.
The rooms are spacious, the kitchen was the very well equipped heart of the house, and the frangipani tree with its abundance of flowers was so special.
And of course every guest contributed: some by bringing 10 interesting books,
another by cooking a wonderful curry, yet another by organizing a cacao-ceremony,
and our little dog brought a smile on everyone’s face, every day.
It was a very fluid way of living together:
I just wished the whole world would flow like this.
So: thanks everyone, muchas gracias,
and see you next year, hasta la próxima.

Cactus Coliving is the ultimate base you want to explore the island. The community is very welcoming and the staff always make sure that life goes smoothly. Rebeca is very knowledgeable and the ideal guide to discover the mysteries of la Gomera.
I strongly recommend 👍
I stayed a few months at Cactus La Gomera over the winter and festive season and I absolutely loved it. The house is simple and comfortable, really all about community and sharing, especially those family-style dinners together.
There are fresh fruits daily and there’s almost always a big pot of coffee brewing. The garden is shady and peaceful, perfect for hiding from the heat with a book or laptop.
The building is right in the heart of San Sebastián, everything just a few minutes’ walk away: shops, restaurants, the beach, the bus station. It has such a nice local vibe, with beautiful sunrises and magnificent mountain trails all around.
I'd come back! 🥰
I stayed at Cactus La Gomera for 5 weeks and it was a wonderful experience. I met so many lovely people - open, friendly, supportive. Rebeca is doing a fantastic job as the community manager. Amongst many things that I really appreciated was the opportunity to learn more about the culture and being welcome to participate in local events (although whoever didn’t fancy that could opt out without any problem). I was able to focus and concentrate on my work very well. Oh, and please continue with the yoga classes! For me, that was perfect to recharge. Thank you for everything - I have just booked my next stay at Cactus La Gomera and can't wait! :-)
I stayed at cactus for 2.5 months. It was my first time at a coliving space, and my first time in La Gomera. I believe coming here was the best decision I could have made as a digital nomad.
While I could go on and rant about how amazing the coliving space is with its cozy patio, spacious kitchen, comfy couches and the hammock i’ve taken way too many naps in… the one thing that makes this place special is the people.
Something about this place invites people to come together and build relationships like no place I’ve been before. It sucks you in and makes you never want to leave (one of the friends i made here loves this place so much that he extended his stay 4 times, and even returned a week later after he left!).
For some it may take some to get used to, though this place has everything you need. The coworking space has spacious desks, high-speed and reliable wifi, and monitors… although the chairs are ever so slightly uncomfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped with anything you could imagine. The rooms are great; beds are EXTREMELY comfortable, they provide you will beach towels and branded tote bags, and have cleaners to wash the sheets and clean the rooms once a week. Laundry services are also available.
The staff is extremely responsive as well. There is always a volunteer on-site to handle day-to-day items and make sure the place is always clean and organized. The hostess Rebecca is the main contact, she guided me through the check-in process, is always responsive and proactive to any issues that may come up, and will often check in to make you feel welcomed. If you’re lucky she’ll also come by to prepare a delicious family dinner!
For any digital nomad out there looking for a more meaningful stay beyond just room and board, I HIGHLY recommend giving this place a chance. I’m sure you’ll find your new family here just as I did. It’s the best home base to experience life on this beautiful island.
It was my first time at La Gomera and a second time at Cactus after staying in Tenerife.
I loved it and would recommend the experience to fellow digital nomads.
Besides the facilities and the house itself it was the community and the team of volunteers who made it a memorable stay (thank you Rebeca!).
Learned cooking local food, a tour to learn about history, celebrated the Romeria with costumes, yoga in the morning or evening, every week there were fun activities to choose from (if you wish) or just work/chill.
We stayed with a group of 14 people at Cactus Coliving La Gomera for an entire week in October 2024 and we felt at home since day 1. The management team were great and super helpful. The patio and the common areas are also perfectly designed to facilitate connections and improvised plans. Highly recommended, we will definitely repeat. Thanks a lot for everything Maria, Rebeca and the whole Cactus team!! 🙏🏼🤗
