Indeed, we think that Fuerteventura is the best place for remote working in Europe.
Now that you have taken the decision to cowork in the Canary Islands this winter, it is time to decide which canary island is the best for digital nomads?
There are 7 main islands in the canaries. In this guide for digital nomads in the Canary Islands we will be presenting 4 of them: Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Tenerife, and Gran Canaria.
Las Palmas, in the island of Gran Canaria, is the capital of the province. In short, Las Palmas is a beautiful and vibrant city built along the beach of Las Canteras. It is a paradise for remote workers who want to live in a city by the ocean. Consequently, you will be able to: go to the beach on foot, network with digital nomads and enjoy a great deal of places to go out at night. In addition to that, the island is pretty small and great for hiking. El Pico de Las Nieves, the main volcano, culminates at almost 2000m! Moreover, Las Canteras Beach is also great for beginner surfers and you can go to the beach on foot to learn or improve surfing in Gran Canaria.
To finish with, there are many dedicated coworking spaces in Gran Canaria. which make it a hub fo digital nomads. As a result, the island is home to an important digital nomad community. Don’t hesitate to ask for more information on the Facebook group: Gran Canaria Digital Nomads & remote workers
Lanzarote is the most volcanic and raw island of the lot; as a result, it hosts beautiful landscapes and incredible beaches such as Famara. Most digital nomads stay in Famara and Costa Teguise, even though internet speed and coverage is unreliable in these locations.
On the one hand, Playa Blanca and Costa Teguise are the most touristic areas with many retirees and expats. On the other, the north and west coast of the island, are more quiet but also wilder and more authentic. All in all, the island is great for surfing, hiking, cycling, trail running, scuba diving and many other activities.
Most coworking spaces in Lanzarote are located in Arrecife even though there are a lot less common than in Gran Canaria, Tenerife and Fuerteventura. However, you can always rent a apartment with wifi and make it your coworking space during your stay. To sum up, in our opinion, Lanzarote is the most beautiful of the 4 islands, but is more appropriate for a one or two-week getaway than it is for establishing a reliable place to work from.
To begin with, Tenerife is the most famous, the biggest and the most touristic island of the Canaries. Its volcano, Teide, is the highest mountain in Spain, culminating at almost 4000 meters.
Moreover, the island is beautiful, but the urban landscape kills the natural beauty in the main tourist spots. Indeed, luxury resorts and the abundance of foreign retirees can give the sentiments of living in an amusement park.
Other than that, there are a lot of options for coworking in Tenerife, as well as a large digital nomads community. However, the Facebook group Tenerife Remote Workers and Digital Nomads, is probably the best way to find up to date information.
Of course, we are going to defend our island, but in our eyes it is the best place for digital nomads in the Canary Islands. That is to say, Fuerteventura is without doubts, the new hotspot for digital nomads in the Canary Islands. So, let us convince you why Surfescape decided to settle on this piece of paradise. Indeed, we think that Fuerteventura is the best island for digital nomads in the Canary and we have made it our home.
Fuerteventura is beautiful, and has the wildest and most magnificent beaches. In addition to that, it hosts incredible volcanos, unique deserts, sand dunes, and an overall feeling of wilderness.
