I had the most amazing stay at this co-living in São Miguel! The house itself is phenomenal: huge, cozy, beautifully kept, and full of character. There’s so much space for everyone, and plenty of different spots to work from, whether you want quiet focus or a more social vibe. The big communal kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, and everything in the house is spotless and very well organized thanks to the owner, Mareike. She does an incredible job creating such a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
I stayed in the Ocean Room, a bright, spacious room with two big windows, a large wardrobe, and a modern bathroom. Super comfortable and very clean. The WiFi was excellent, which is so important for remote work, and I never had any issues.
The location is great: about 15 minutes to Ponta Delgada, 5 minutes to Santa Bárbara beach, 15 minutes to Lagoa do Fogo, and a supermarket just 10 minutes away. Perfect balance of being connected but still peaceful.
What really stood out to me was the community vibe. There are group activities you can join, but never any pressure – you can socialize or just do your own thing. It felt very free and easy-going, which I loved. During my stay, I met some truly wonderful people and made friends I’ll definitely stay in touch with.
Overall, this is an incredible place for digital nomads and remote workers. Whether you want to focus, connect, or simply enjoy the island, this co-living makes it all possible. I can’t recommend it highly enough. What Mareike has built here is really special. ❤️
I really enjoyed my stay at Lava! As a remote worker, I always look for places where I can work comfortably and also meet like-minded travellers or locals. At Lava, not only did I have a fast and reliable internet connection — both in my room and at the co-working space — but it was also easy to connect with other people. I highly recommend staying at Lava!
A perfect spot for any remote worker travelling to the paradise that is the Isla Sao Miguel. Mareike and Miguel were the kindest and most attentive hosts. The house and amenities were sparkling clean and spacious. The coworking space was everything that you might need - a couple of desks with monitors you can plug into. We absolutely loved our stay.
Thank you Mareike & Lava team!

Great stay at Lava Coliving! Mareike and Miguel are incredible guests, taking care of each detail. Their instagram account lavacoliving can give you more insights about the house, and don’t hesitate to ask any question 👍🏼
Great coworking area with fast wifi, it’s mainly for guests but could be excepcionally used as cowork day pass as well 🫰🏼
Highly recommend Lava to anyone coming to Azores, a large space to chill, work, cook and closeby and center to reach any place in the island!
Lava is the place to be when staying in Sao Miguel for long term periods. I've been working during my stay and the facilities and space there is for a coliving is insane!
Finn is always taking care of the house (he's the king 😸), Mareike keeps an eye of everything and Miguel's always around for a nice chat!
Couldn't have chosen a better place to be!
Recommended to everyone ❤️
Had a really good time at Lava as a remote worker. the place is perfect to do work with high speed internet, desk and chair inside the room but also a huge quiet coworking space.
The kitchen is also fully equipped so you can easily cook and socialise with the people in the house.
Best co-living ever. Mareike is the friendliest host you could ever imagine and the stay was really amazing.
For digital nomads a must-visit as the internet is super fast with around 200mbits and actually worked all the time. Also there's enough space to do meetings peacefully without interruption.
Everything is super clean, have never seen a better equiped kitchen, the bathrooms are amazing, there's towel for the hot springs and beach. Anything you can literally think of was taken care of by her.
Also from the balcony you can see the sea and enjoy the sun ⬇️
I could go on and on but just visit the place and check it out for yourself!
