Best Colivings in Santa Cruz de Tenerife: A Guide for Digital Nomads (2026)
Blue Paradise Coliving and La Luna, the colivings inside Santa Cruz city, compared category by category for digital nomads and remote workers, with a best-for profile for each.
Working remotely from Tenerife usually starts with a simple idea: keep the job, change the view. Winter sun instead of grey skies. A swim after work. A hike on Saturday.
Then the practical questions arrive. Where will you work? Will the internet hold up on your calls? Will you know anyone?
Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the island’s capital, is a good place to start. It’s a real Canarian city with one of the busiest events calendars on the island, a large international community and buses to every corner of Tenerife. A coliving answers the rest: a private room, a place to work and people who keep the same rhythm as you.
So which coliving in Santa Cruz?
Quick answer: which coliving fits you?
This guide compares two colivings inside the city, Blue Paradise Coliving and La Luna Coliving. They suit different ways of living in Santa Cruz.
Blue Paradise Coliving suits remote workers staying several weeks or months who want a professional workspace, a private bathroom, an active community and a peaceful home to relax in after work. It’s an urban coliving in Ifara, a prestigious residential neighborhood of Santa Cruz, with the restaurants, bars and culture of the center within walking distance.
La Luna Coliving may fit better if you want to live right in the center, a few steps from restaurants, shops and nightlife.

Santa Cruz de Tenerife: the city or the province?
Search for a coliving in Santa Cruz de Tenerife and the results can be confusing. Santa Cruz de Tenerife is the capital. It’s also a province with four islands: Tenerife, La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro. Large directories such as Coliving.com can mix the two, showing houses elsewhere in Tenerife or even on another island.
This guide only looks at colivings inside the city itself: Blue Paradise Coliving in the residential neighborhood of Ifara, and La Luna Coliving near Calle Castillo. Both are compared on the same criteria, one category at a time, so every remote worker can see which one fits their own priorities. The comparison is based on their websites and public listings.
Community: will you meet people?
| Community | Blue Paradise Coliving | La Luna Coliving |
|---|---|---|
| Organized activities | A weekend trip every week, a meetup every Tuesday and a shared coliving dinner every two weeks | Activities mentioned; schedule and frequency not published |
| Community manager | Yes, on site: the founder, a Tenerife local | Yes, not staying at the property |
| Events with the wider nomad community | Weekly International Meetup of Santa Cruz; and Blue Paradise Connect Events for skill-sharing and networking, both open to the island’s remote workers community | Repeople’s community events are focused in Gran Canaria; no regular Tenerife program published |
When you arrive alone, a set rhythm of organized activities takes a job off your list. There’s no need to research what to do every weekend or go looking for people to make plans with.
At Blue Paradise Coliving, the community gets real time and care. Selene, the founder and community manager, was born and raised in Tenerife, and organizes plans for the coliving community. Every weekend there’s a trip, usually a beach day, a hike or a coastal walk. Every two weeks there’s a shared coliving dinner, cooked together at home or out at a guachinche, a traditional Canarian eatery. The atmosphere is close and very international, with English as the shared language.
Blue Paradise also organizes regular events that connect the colivers with the wider remote workers’ community on the island. Every Tuesday evening, Blue Paradise hosts the International Meetup of Santa Cruz in the city center. This is a fantastic opportunity to connect with other remote workers, digital nomads and entrepreneurs. Then, there’s Blue Paradise Connect, which are knowledge-sharing events that bring people together to share valuable skills and network around technology, AI, entrepreneurship and remote work. Check out Blue Paradise’s Instagram to see everything that is going on in their community!
La Luna operates within the Repeople network, whose community activities and events are focused on Gran Canaria. Its listing mentions activities but no schedule, so residents there will likely plan more of their social life themselves.
Blue Paradise Coliving — Best for: remote workers who value an actively managed community, organized social plans and opportunities to meet other remote workers beyond their housemates.
La Luna Coliving — Best for: remote workers who enjoy arranging their own city plans and are comfortable choosing a stay without a published weekly activity schedule.
Bathrooms: private or shared?
| Bathrooms | Blue Paradise Coliving | La Luna Coliving |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Private ensuite bathroom in every room | Shared |
| Number | One for each room | Three full bathrooms and three half bathrooms |
Over a stay of several weeks, the bathroom is part of every single day, and whether it’s private decides how comfortable you’ll feel.
At Blue Paradise Coliving, every room has its own ensuite bathroom. You can shower before an early call without checking whether it’s free.
At La Luna, residents share three full bathrooms and three half bathrooms.
Blue Paradise Coliving — Best for: remote workers who value the privacy and comfort of having a private bathroom.
La Luna Coliving — Best for: travelers used to shared living who don’t mind sharing a bathroom.
Coworking: where will you work?
| Coworking | Blue Paradise Coliving | La Luna Coliving |
|---|---|---|
| Coworking spaces | Two fully equipped coworking spaces: one with ocean views, one with garden views | One indoor workspace with city views |
| Desks | 11 large desks: up to 22 working places when shared | Number not specified |
| Height-adjustable desks | Yes, motorized | Not height-adjustable |
| Ergonomic chairs | Yes, in the coworking and every bedroom | No |
| External monitors | Large modern monitors (29–32 inches) | Monitors available; size not specified |
| Internet | Fiber, Wi-Fi 7 and 1 Gbps Ethernet connection | High-speed internet |
| Video calls | Desk and ergonomic chair in every bedroom | Not specified |
For many remote workers, workation still means that you’ll have to spend long days at a desk. That’s why having a proper work setup matters. Your back, neck and eyes will feel it by Friday.
Blue Paradise Coliving is specifically designed for remote workers. Its two coworking spaces are equipped with an ergonomic work setup, consisting of large modern monitors (29–32 inches), height-adjustable desks and ergonomic chairs. The fact that they have two coworking spaces also gives you a choice of view: the Atlantic in front of you with volcanic rock behind, or a second indoor space with views of the mango garden. The desks in both coworking spaces are motorized, so you can sit in the morning and stand in the afternoon. The premium monitors mean nobody spends a month squinting at a laptop.
Remote workers who have many calls and meetings can work comfortably and with privacy from their rooms, since every room at Blue Paradise is equipped with a large working table and an ergonomic chair. The house has fiber internet with Wi-Fi 7, plus 1 Gbps Ethernet connections. More is on the coworking page.
La Luna has an indoor workspace with natural light and high-speed internet. Its desks are fixed-height, the chairs are not ergonomic, and some monitors are available without one guaranteed per guest. That works for people who travel light and are comfortable on a laptop.
Blue Paradise Coliving — Best for: developers and remote professionals who spend long days at a screen and need a full ergonomic setup with a monitor of their own, a height-adjustable desk and an ergonomic chair.
La Luna Coliving — Best for: remote workers with a lighter setup who are happy at a fixed-height desk.

Surroundings and outdoor space: where will you take a break?
| Surroundings and outdoor space | Blue Paradise Coliving | La Luna Coliving |
|---|---|---|
| Surroundings | Quiet and prestigious residential neighborhood | Central street; bars and restaurants directly opposite may bring noise |
| Garden | Yes, spacious garden with mango trees and hammocks | No |
| Swimming pool | Yes, with Atlantic and city views | No |
| Terraces and barbecue | Terraces and barbecue | Rooftop terrace with barbecue |
| Table tennis and trampoline | Yes, both | Not specified |
Quiet evenings decide how well you sleep before an early call. Outdoor space decides where your breaks happen, and for anyone escaping a northern winter, breaks in the sun are a big part of the reason to come.
Blue Paradise Coliving sits in Ifara, an established neighborhood of villas and gardens overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and the city of Santa Cruz. Weekday evenings stay quiet in the house because colivers work the next morning, so social events during the working days are held in the city center to respect the colivers’ rest and livelier gatherings at home are kept for Fridays and Saturdays.
The garden and pool are right next to the coworking. Santa Cruz is around 17–24°C in winter, so between tasks you can step outside to enjoy the sunshine, lie in a hammock under the mango trees or cool off in the pool with a view of the Atlantic. The trampoline and table tennis offer a great way to connect with other colivers in a sporty way.
La Luna’s outdoor space is a rooftop terrace with a barbecue, a good spot for a barbecue evening with housemates. Bars and restaurants directly across the street give the area a lively feel, which some people enjoy and light sleepers may notice at night.
Blue Paradise Coliving — Best for: light sleepers and people who recharge outdoors, who value having a garden and a pool for spending breaks outdoors under the Canarian sun! Digital nomads who enjoy having all the vibrant city life of Santa Cruz within walking distance, but not directly next to their window, so they can sleep well and be recharged the next morning.
La Luna Coliving — Best for: city-oriented residents who do not need a garden or pool at home.
Fitness: how will you stay active?
| Fitness and wellbeing | Blue Paradise Coliving | La Luna Coliving |
|---|---|---|
| Fitness area | Outdoor fitness terrace | None advertised |
| Fitness equipment | Yoga mats, pull-up bar, TRX, adjustable dumbbells, kettlebells, exercise bike | None advertised |
| Nearest gym | 20 minutes on foot | 1 minute on foot |
| Spa | Hotel Mencey spa, 13 minutes on foot | Hotel Mencey spa, 8 minutes on foot |
It’s easier to keep up your exercise routine during a busy working week when it doesn’t need a long trip.
At Blue Paradise Coliving, a workout starts a few steps from the desk. After closing the laptop, you can head to the fitness terrace with its ocean view for yoga, TRX, kettlebells or a session on the bike. For a fully equipped gym, it’s a 20-minute walk or a short bus ride downtown.
La Luna has a gym about a minute away, so you can walk straight from the workspace to training. From both colivings you can reach the spa of Hotel Mencey: 13 minutes on foot from Blue Paradise and 8 from La Luna.
Blue Paradise Coliving — Best for: remote workers who want to fit outdoor workouts and movement breaks into the day using equipment at home, and people who like yoga, bodyweight or kettlebell training.
La Luna Coliving — Best for: residents who prefer going to a nearby gym and want a very short walk between home, work and training.
Location: how will you get around Santa Cruz?
| Location | Blue Paradise Coliving | La Luna Coliving |
|---|---|---|
| Location highlight | Urban coliving in the capital, with ocean views and garden in residential area | Central, with city life at the door |
| Walk to the center | 13 min walk to García Sanabria Park, about 25 min to Plaza de España and central restaurants and bars | In the center, near Calle Castillo |
| Public transport | Bus stop very near, just 85 m; direct connection with the capital’s bus interchange with route 912, about 15 min to the Intercambiador | Bus stops very near |
| Parking | Free private parking on site, included for colivers | No private or included parking |
Many colivings on Tenerife are in rural areas, where most plans start with a car journey. Both of the colivings compared in this article are in the capital itself, but they are located in two different neighborhoods, each one with its own highlights.
From Blue Paradise Coliving, García Sanabria Park, the city’s main park, is about 13 minutes on foot, and Plaza de España and the central bars and restaurants about 25. You can work in the coworking space facing the Atlantic Ocean, take a break in the garden, then walk to the center for dinner or an event. The walk back is uphill. Some colivers walk up; those who want it a bit easier take the 912 bus, which stops 85 meters from the house and connects directly with the Intercambiador, the island’s main bus hub. Others simply grab a taxi for approximately €7. A car isn’t necessarily needed for daily life. For those who do rent a car, there’s private parking included in this coliving. Walking downhill from the coliving brings you to the city center, uphill brings you to one of the most beautiful viewpoints of Santa Cruz, called Mirador de los Campitos. More is on the location page.
La Luna is located in the center of Santa Cruz, near Calle Castillo, with shops, restaurants and bus stops easily reachable on foot. A rental car needs more planning there, since there’s no private or included parking.
Blue Paradise Coliving — Best for: colivers who want panoramic ocean views and a residential home within the city, with bus access and included parking when renting a car.
La Luna Coliving — Best for: remote workers who want central streets immediately outside and plan to build most of their city routine around walking.
Nearby services: how close are groceries and restaurants?
| Nearby services | Blue Paradise Coliving | La Luna Coliving |
|---|---|---|
| Supermarkets | 20 minutes on foot, including HiperDino at Parque Bulevar, or 7 mins by bus | 1 min on foot |
| Restaurants and bars | Fewer right outside; more downhill toward the center | Nearby, including directly opposite |
| Food delivery | Uber Eats | Uber Eats and Glovo |
Groceries and dinner are small decisions, but they come back every day of a stay.
Life at Blue Paradise Coliving leans toward cooking at home, in a fully equipped kitchen. The kitchen has a water filter, so colivers don’t have to buy bottled water. Supermarkets are about 20 minutes on foot, the bus back helps with heavy bags, and for those who prefer deliveries, Uber Eats delivers to this neighborhood.
At La Luna, supermarkets, restaurants and bars are all around, including directly across the street, and both Uber Eats and Glovo deliver. Dinner out or a forgotten ingredient is a few steps away.
Blue Paradise Coliving — Best for: remote workers who enjoy cooking at home, plan their groceries or like having delivery, and who don’t mind a walk or the bus back after eating out in the center.
La Luna Coliving — Best for: residents who prioritize very short walks for groceries, frequent meals out and everyday errands close to the door.
