Working from home can be very counterproductive, that's why many workers prefer to work in a coliving in Gran Canaria.

Keeping productivity and focused when working at home could be challenging. Houses are full of distractions, leading to low productivity in the long run.

Besides this, some workers feel lonely and disconnected, with consequences on their mental health.

Work has changed and so have the working spaces.

In the last decades, work has changed very fast, the traditional office culture is becoming obsolete, we want leisure and work together, concepts like collaborative work, community, fun at work, flexibility, or coworking as a result of this new work evolution are here to stay and new generations want all of this in their companies or as a freelancer.

Freedom to live and work from any place with wifi is another important aspect, don´t talk to them about the 9 to 5 schedule in an office, this freedom breaks many traditional corporate standards, and companies have to reinvent the way they manage their teams to keep talent.

Networking- 

Las Palmas has become a big hub for remote workers and Nomads in the world, bringing with them expertise, contacts, knowledge, and clients, this is something to consider when coming to work remotely.

The number of activities, conferences, dinners, and workshops that colivings and coworking organize in the city can be overwhelming.

These are perfect moments to meet, connect, and learn, with the diversity of people that come to Gran Canaria.

New opportunities will arise in these events, but we need to participate, get involved, and enjoy the moment.

Collaborative learning and share knowledge- 

Approaching a coliving with an open mind will help you to get the most out of it. Get rid of an “all for me” strategy, give first, teach what you know and you will feel how people open up and give you love and other knowledge back, but even if they don't give you anything, don't feel bad about it, just enjoy the act of collaborate and help others, making you feel fulfilled in the long run.

Sometimes we learn more when we teach something to others, and that mindset will bring you positiveness…

Many companies and freelancers have seen how a diverse and collaborative environment boosts productivity, this explains why many nomads and remote workers live jumping from one coliving to another…

Diversity-

This is something to consider when coming to a coliving, the best work environments are those with people from different backgrounds, boosting creativity, innovation, better decision making, fewer mistakes, and as a result higher financial return.

Winter is mild and good weather is an advantage to going out and enjoying nature. The city is full of gyms and different companies that deliver real food, never was so easy to have a healthy life.

EcoIsleta Coliving

We consider all of these elements part of our proposition, we truly believe in building a space where we take care of each other, collaborate, and learn from one another.

Our upper floor and terrace are open, with plenty of natural light, so socializing, working, sharing a coffee, and sunbathing is easy. 

We offer a small space, we believe in small, we do everything small, and we think we have to learn to do things in a smaller way because most of the time big changes start small…
