Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has a well-developed coworking ecosystem for digital nomads and remote workers. The standout options — White Forest, Work in Cholas, Sky Coworking, and Fico — each offer something distinct. For nomads wanting the all-in-one solution (coworking + accommodation), Repeople’s coliving is the category apart.
Coworking in Las Palmas has matured. What was two or three options five years ago is now a proper ecosystem with spaces across different neighbourhoods, price points, and working styles.
This guide is written for digital nomads deciding where to work, not for people comparing office leases. It covers what actually matters: internet reliability, community, proximity to the coast, daily and monthly pass options, and the atmosphere you’ll be working in every day.
What to Know Before You Choose
Las Palmas is a city, which means coworking geography matters. The city broadly divides into:
- Playa de Las Canteras area — closest to the beach, concentrated nomad activity, higher footfall
- Triana / Guanarteme — central neighbourhoods, mix of local and remote workers
- La Isleta — authentic, quieter, slightly off the nomad circuit
- Vegueta / Città Bassa — historic quarter, café culture, less formal coworking
Internet speeds across city-centre coworkings are generally strong — 100–500Mbps in most spaces, gigabit in dedicated fibre setups. This is a non-issue at the better venues.
The Best Coworking Spaces in Las Palmas
1. Work in Cholas — Community-First Coworking
Work in Cholas is operated by Repeople and sits at the intersection of productive coworking and genuine community. The space regularly hosts networking events, skill-sharing sessions, and informal meetups that build real professional networks among the remote worker community in Las Palmas.
Best for: Remote workers who value networking and community alongside desk space
Location: Central Las Palmas
Pricing: Day passes from €15, monthly from €150
Standout: Community events and direct connection to the Repeople coliving ecosystem
2. White Forest — Beach-Adjacent, Modern Setup
White Forest is one of the most visible coworking spaces in Las Palmas — modern, bright, and positioned 200 steps from Las Canteras beach.
The space runs regular events with local and international speakers, which gives it an active community beyond desk rental.
Best for: Freelancers and remote workers who want a professional setup near the beach
Location: Guanarteme (near Las Canteras)
Pricing: Day passes and monthly packages available
Standout: Beach proximity, standing desks, soundproof booths, active events programme
3. Sky Coworking — Terrace Work by the Sea
Sky Coworking is a smaller, more intimate space near Las Canteras and Santa Catalina Park. Its defining feature is a working terrace — one of very few coworkings in Las Palmas where you can step outside your workstation directly onto an outdoor area.
For people who work better with outdoor air and light, this is a significant differentiator.
Best for: Nomads who prioritise atmosphere and outdoor access
Location: Near Las Canteras beach
Pricing: Day and monthly passes
Standout: Working terrace, cosy atmosphere, fully equipped kitchen
4. Fico Coworking — Eco-Focused, Specialty Coffee
Fico is in La Isleta, a more authentic neighbourhood a short distance from the tourist circuit.
The space leans into sustainability — solar power, recycled furniture, zero-waste policy — and combines serious coworking infrastructure with specialty coffee that’s genuinely good.
Best for: Nomads who want to work away from the busier nomad hotspots
Location: La Isleta neighbourhood
Pricing: Day and monthly options
Standout: Eco credentials, great coffee, quieter neighbourhood
5. Soppa de Azul — Creative Space with Social Mission
Soppa de Azul blends coworking with art and social impact in a way that’s genuinely unusual.
It’s a more colourful, creative environment than the standard laptop-and-desk setup — better suited for designers, writers, and creative professionals than for those who need purely focused, corporate-quiet work time.
Best for: Creative professionals who respond to inspiring environments
Location: Las Palmas
Standout: Artistic environment, community focus, social impact projects
Coworking + Accommodation: The Coliving Option
For nomads staying more than a few weeks, the coworking-only model eventually runs into limitations: you still need to find accommodation separately, you’re paying for two things independently, and you’re not getting the community density that comes from living and working with people in the same space.
Repeople’s approach — coliving and coworking under one roof — solves this for the 1–3 month nomad. At El Cabo, Repeople’s flagship space, you have:
- Private or shared accommodation
- Coworking space included in your monthly rate
- Enterprise-grade WiFi throughout
- Community events and introductions
- A team that knows Las Palmas
The all-in price (€900–€1,500/month depending on room type) typically compares favourably to paying for accommodation and coworking separately — and comes with built-in community that standalone coworking can’t replicate.
What to Expect on a Day Pass
If you’re arriving in Las Palmas and want to try before committing:
- Day pass prices: €12–€20 depending on the space
- What’s typically included: Desk, WiFi, coffee or filtered water, lockers
- What’s usually extra: Meeting room bookings, printing, phone booths
- Best approach: Try two or three spaces in your first week before committing to a monthly
Monthly Pass Comparison
| Space | Monthly (approx.) | Day Pass | Highlights |
|---|---|---|---|
| Work in Cholas (Repeople) | €150–€250 | €15–€20 | Community events, Repeople network |
| White Forest | €150–€250 | €15–€20 | 200m from beach, standing desks |
| Sky Coworking | €120–€200 | €12–€18 | Outdoor terrace, intimate space |
| Fico Coworking | €100–€180 | €12–€15 | Eco, specialty coffee |
| El Cabo (Repeople coliving) | €900–€1,500 (all-in) | — | Accommodation + coworking bundled |
