Coliving in Jávea, Spain

Sun and Co. is one of the original coliving spaces in Europe, operating from the historic old town of Jávea on Spain’s Mediterranean coast since 2015. It occupies a beautifully restored 19th-century house and has built a reputation over nearly a decade for combining genuine professional productivity with the kind of community that keeps guests coming back — the return rate sits at around 20%.

What It Is

Sun and Co. brings coliving, coworking, and community together under one roof in Jávea, a small coastal town between Valencia and Alicante. The house can accommodate up to 15 guests at a time, with minimum stays of 14 nights, and the close-knit scale is deliberate — it keeps the group manageable and the relationships real. Sun and Co. won the Coliving Awards for Best Community and User Experience in 2021 and Best Coliving for Digital Nomads in 2022.

The Experience

A typical day starts at your own pace — a morning hike, a run along the coast, or breakfast with fellow colivers in the open kitchen. Work hours are structured but flexible, with dedicated focus zones and open desk space. Lunchtime skill-share sessions and afternoon breaks to the nearby beach are part of the rhythm. Evenings involve shared meals, professional workshops, wine, and whatever the week’s social calendar holds. The team structures light programming without making participation mandatory.

The Space

The house spans over 200 square metres of common areas including a living room, chillout patio, and open foyer. The coworking setup offers multiple zones — a focused area, an interior patio, and open desk space — all with high-speed internet. Private and shared rooms are available, with private rooms starting from around EUR 40 per day. The kitchen is a genuine shared space where a lot of the community interaction happens organically.

Who It Is For

Sun and Co. suits remote workers and digital nomads who want a productive working environment alongside genuine human connection. The 14-night minimum stay means guests arrive with enough time to settle in and build real relationships rather than passing through. The community spans professionals from all over the world — head of people ops, entrepreneurs, hedge fund investors, and developers — united by a preference for working smarter in better surroundings.

Location Highlights

Jávea sits on the Costa Blanca between the Montgó Natural Park and the Mediterranean Sea, offering hiking, kayaking, sailing, and beach access within minutes of the coliving. The old town is walkable, with local restaurants, markets, and the weekly tapa challenge. The nearby Cabo de la Nao headland and Cova Tallada sea caves are among the best coastal walks in the region. Alicante and Valencia are both under an hour away by car.
