Kite and Surf Nomad House
Kite and Surf Nomad House is a specialist kite and surf coliving in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria — 200+ Google reviews averaging 4.8 stars. Ocean-view coworking and direct access to Las Canteras beach, one of Europe’s best urban surf breaks.
The Experience
Las Palmas is the Canary Islands’ largest city, with year-round surf at Las Canteras beach and consistent trade winds for kiting at Pozo Izquierdo. This coliving puts both within easy reach. The coworking space has ocean views, the community is genuinely surf-obsessed, and the social scene benefits from Las Palmas’ large and active nomad population.
The Space
Multi-level property with ocean-view coworking, 200 Mbps internet, communal kitchen, and terraces. Las Canteras beach and the city’s restaurant and nightlife scene are steps from the door.
Who It’s For
Surfers and kitesurfers who want a year-round base with guaranteed wind and waves, a proper city around them, and one of Europe’s largest nomad communities for social and professional networking.

The Vibe
Early risers hit Las Canteras for a dawn patrol surf, then head to the ocean-view coworking by 9. Afternoons split between work sprints and kite sessions at Pozo Izquierdo. Evenings usually end up on Mesa y López or in the Vegueta old town for tapas and wine.
Saturday surf trips to the north shore (Gáldar, El Confital), kite sessions when the trade winds pick up, or hikes in the volcanic interior around Roque Nublo.
Living in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
Las Palmas is the unofficial capital of European digital nomadism. Year-round temperatures between 20-26°C, a 3km urban beach with reliable surf, a proper city with 380,000 people, and one of Europe's largest nomad communities. It has all the infrastructure without the seasonal swings that plague most beach destinations.
The city splits into distinct neighborhoods: Las Canteras beach and the Santa Catalina area for the surf and nomad scene, Triana for shopping and cafes, and Vegueta — the 500-year-old colonial quarter — for culture and nightlife. Rent for a private room runs 400-700 EUR/month, coworking memberships 100-200 EUR. Add in 2 EUR coffees, 10-12 EUR restaurant lunches, and direct flights to most of Europe, and you see why people come for a month and stay for a year.
Surf Las Canteras
A 3km crescent beach right in the city with La Cicer at the south end producing consistent waves. Board rental is 10-15 EUR/day.
Hike Roque Nublo
Gran Canaria's iconic volcanic rock formation, a 1.5-hour drive into the mountainous interior. Short hike with panoramic views across the island.
Old Town Vegueta
The 15th-century colonial quarter with the Cathedral of Santa Ana, the Columbus House museum, and some of the island's best tapas bars.

The Team
Founders
We built this around kite and surf because that's what we live for. But what keeps people coming back is the community — 200+ reviews don't happen by accident. It's the people in the house that make it.

Common Questions
What's the WiFi like?
200 Mbps fibre — strong enough for video calls and streaming. The coworking has ocean views, which helps with the Monday morning motivation.
What's included in the price?
Room, coworking access, WiFi, communal kitchen, and access to terraces. Surf and kite equipment, lessons, and excursions are extra.
How do I get there?
Fly to Gran Canaria (LPA) — direct flights from most European cities. Bus 60 from the airport to Las Palmas costs about 3 EUR, or a taxi is 30-35 EUR.
When's the best time for surf vs kite?
Surf is consistent year-round at Las Canteras. Kiting at Pozo is best from May to September when the trade winds really kick in, but there's wind most of the year.
Is it good for beginners?
Las Canteras has sections for all levels. The south end (La Cicer) works for intermediates, while the calmer central section is fine for beginners. Kiting at Pozo is more advanced — El Burrero nearby is better for learning.
