🏨 has short staysFine for a workation, but significant turnover works against coliving principles for a cohesive community; a longer minimum stay supports better interactions. What is coliving?
A perfect space for remote workers and digital nomads—a place to work and live in community from paradise. Our purpose is to build a sustainable community, integrating itself into the neighborhood.
We avoid a ‘community bubble’ by also including locals in our weekly meals and events. We base our community on some common values: we stand for a sustainable neighborhood, and our efforts and actions are focused in that direction. So you will find a community of fellow Remote workers, conscious about our impact and about our environment.

I spent two weeks at EcoIsleta and it was wonderful!!
It’s in La Isleta, which is a normal residential neighborhood where mostly locals live. So it's not very touristy, yet only five-minute walk from Las Canteras beach with all the shops, cafés, bars etc. So it’s very convenient. (I'm including a photo of the Las Canteras beach)
EcoIsleta is run by Jonatan and his wife Rita. Jonatan’s a true local; his family’s came to the island for over a century ago from the neighboring Fuerteventura, and he actually built the whole place himself, including a lot of the furniture, which kind of amazing ! The place is nicely designed and you feel the personal touch and care
Everything in EcoIsleta is nice and clean. The kitchen’s big and well equipped, and there’s a large table good for working or eating together. It looks exactly like in the photos - maybe even nicer in person :) And during low season prices were extremely fair.
(If you ever want a separate coworking space, Sopa de Azul nearby, is also very cool and reasonably priced.)
Jonatan really cares about the issues of the island and the local community. For example he organizes bi-weekly dinners at EcoIsleta, making it easy to connect with people
Before going, I didn’t know much about Gran Canaria, and I was honestly amazed at the variety; dunes, forests, mountains, beaches, old towns and so on..
EcoIsleta is totally recommended! it’s a special, authentic place : )
After living here for two months, I can say it's a wonderful place to arrive in Las Palmas, meet people, connect with locals, and explore authentic Canarian life.
The kitchen is definitely the biggest plus – a central spot where all the roommates come together to cook, eat, and relax on the terrace.
Jonathan, the owner, is incredibly helpful in every way. No matter what your challenge is, he’ll always find a way to support you.
The regular social cooking events are a great opportunity to learn how to prepare local dishes – sometimes with Jonathan or his wife. It’s a warm, communal experience that really makes you feel at home.
Another big highlight for me was the neighborhood itself. It’s very calm, and in the evenings or at night, you don’t hear any noise at all. I loved sitting on the terrace, just observing the peaceful street below.
Whether you're staying for a week or a month – it's definitely worth it. Enjoy your time there!
EcoIsleta is the best coliving I have ever been to and it’s all thanks to this amazing guy Jonatan who runs the place! I have enjoyed many conversations at the sunny terrace with Jonatan, he really cares for the community and is always thinking of nice activities, also if you want to hear about Canarian history, he is your man! It’s a lovely house in the area of La Isleta very close to the beach and the heart of the city. Having stayed few times in EcoIsleta I could say that actually EcoIsleta is the heart of the city!
Exemplar community building and vision-driven business by Jonatan, the owner. Who is often around and provides nice local-only info. The place is structured as a real eco-oriented building. From water purification to trash sorting to renewable energy, everything is in place. Including furniture that is not bought, but built by hand with materials available to anyone (take that, Ikea). Plus there are plenty of social activities like dinners that are well-attended, not only by people staying there, but others in the island.
Great place to stay if you want to understand the place and meet locals as much as digital nomads (both attend the events!)
It's probably the best coliving on the island,
definitely the most vibrant (which does not mean drunken parties but more like good conversations with good people, nice feasts). Jonathan makes sure that there is a constant flow of community programs, and is an amazing person, too, and a local patriot.
(I was living on Las Palmas for a long time as a digital nomad...)
A hint: the canteras beach is best near La Isleta for swimming, so this coliving has a pretty good location.
I really enjoyed my stay at EcoIsleta and give it a full 5 out of 5 stars! Jonathan is truly the heart and soul of the house and the community. He gives you such a warm welcome and is an amazing host, making you feel right at home from the start. The community is super nice and open, and there are regular events where it’s easy to connect with others and make new friends. I stayed in the La Gomera room, which I can highly recommend. It was lovely and had its own private shower and toilet, which was a big plus. Overall, such a great place to live, work, and meet wonderful people.
A home away from home! It was my first co-living experience and i loved it! Jonatan is there to help anytime, the place is airy and the shared spaces are great to work together, have dinners, hang-out. I came back after staying there for 2 weeks just to stay another 2 weeks because I loved the people and the vibe. Thank you Jonatan for the space you created there - it’s truly unique and everything a nomad can hope for.
