Tenerife has become one of Europe's best islands to work remotely from — fast fibre, a spring climate every month, and the ocean a short drive from any desk. If you're planning to base yourself here, the next question is simple: where will you actually work?
This guide walks you through your coworking options in Tenerife — the different types of space, north vs south, what to expect, what it costs, and how to choose the spot that fits your work and your lifestyle. Written by the team at Bencomo Coliving, in the green north of the island.
1. Why Tenerife Works So Well for Remote Work
Before the "where," a quick word on the "why." Tenerife pairs a strategic GMT time zone (the same as the UK and Portugal, one hour from mainland Europe) with fibre internet across the island, a large international community and a quality of life that's hard to beat. We make the full case in why Tenerife is one of Europe's best remote-work bases — but the short version is that it has genuine, professional infrastructure, not just nice views.
2. The Types of Coworking in Tenerife
Tenerife's coworking scene is more varied than most islands. You'll mainly find four kinds of space:
City coworking offices — concentrated in the capital, Santa Cruz, and the university town of La Laguna. Professional, well-equipped, good for meetings and a business crowd.
Beach & surf coworking — in the south (Costa Adeje, El Médano) and parts of the coast, built around the surf-and-work lifestyle.
Coworking-colivings — spaces where you live and work in the same place, common in the north (this is what we do at Bencomo). The most convenient option for visiting remote workers.
Cafés with wifi — fine for a light day, but rarely a match for calls, focus or community.
3. North vs South for Coworking
Where you set up shapes your whole experience.
The North (Santa Úrsula, La Orotava, Puerto de la Cruz, La Laguna):
Greener, calmer and more authentically Canarian
Closest to Teide and the Anaga forests
Coworking-colivings and city spaces in La Laguna
Best if you want focus, nature and local life
The South (Costa Adeje, Los Cristianos, El Médano):
More sun, beaches and surf
Busier, more touristy, English everywhere
Beach-oriented coworking and a livelier after-work scene
Best if you want sun and an active social calendar
The Capital (Santa Cruz / La Laguna): the densest cluster of professional city coworking, ideal if you need meeting rooms and a business environment.
4. What a Good Coworking Space Offers
Whatever the style, the essentials are the same:
Fast, redundant wifi — ideally with a backup connection for video calls
Flexible passes — day, week and monthly options
Dedicated and hot desks, meeting rooms and phone booths
Ergonomic chairs and quiet zones for focused work
Community and events — networking, skill-shares, the occasional surf or hike
5. How Much Does Coworking Cost in Tenerife?
As a rough guide:
Day pass: around €10–20
Weekly pass: roughly €40–90
Monthly hot desk: about €80–150; more for a fixed desk or private office
Tip: if you're staying a month or more, a coworking-coliving can bundle your desk, room and bills into one payment that often beats renting plus a separate membership — with none of the setup. Always check exactly what each space includes.
6. How to Choose Your Coworking Space
Before you commit, check:
Internet — real speeds and a backup
Location — near your accommodation, or an easy commute?
Pass flexibility — day/week/month, and seasonal changes
Community vibe — large and social, or small and focused?
Quiet zones — somewhere to take calls
Opening hours — 24/7 or fixed?
Extras — coffee, terrace, events, meeting rooms
7. Coworking + Coliving: The Easiest Option of All
If you're coming to Tenerife for a few weeks or months, the simplest setup is to have your workspace and your home in the same place. A coworking-coliving gives you a private room, a dedicated desk with fast wifi and an instant community in one monthly payment — no commute, no separate membership, no admin. (If you're new to the model, our complete guide to coliving in Tenerife explains how it works.)
That's exactly what we offer at Bencomo in the north — you can see the coworking and workspace at Bencomo here.

✅ Want flexible day, week or month passes

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the best area to cowork in Tenerife? It depends on your priorities: Santa Cruz and La Laguna for professional city spaces, the south for beach-and-surf coworking, and the north for calmer coworking-colivings close to nature. The north — where Bencomo is — is ideal if you want focus and local life.
How much does coworking cost in Tenerife? Roughly €10–20 for a day pass and €80–150 a month for a hot desk, depending on the space. Longer stays and coworking-coliving bundles usually work out cheaper.
North or south of Tenerife for working remotely? The south offers more sun, beaches and a livelier scene; the north is greener, calmer and more authentic, and closest to Teide and Anaga. If you're here mainly to work and enjoy nature, the north is a wonderful base.
Do I need a coworking space, or can I work from my coliving? Many colivings include a dedicated workspace with fast wifi, which is plenty for most remote workers. A separate coworking space is worth it if you want meeting rooms or a larger professional community.
Is the internet reliable enough for video calls? Yes. Tenerife has fibre across its urban areas, connected to mainland Europe by undersea cables. Good coworking spaces and colivings offer fast wifi, often with a backup.
