Ikigai Coliving is a 7-room chalet in Tenerife, located between the coastal town of Puerto de la Cruz and the picturesque old village of La Orotava. It offers 1 Gbps internet, a coworking space with ergonomic furniture, an outdoor jacuzzi, and views of the Teide volcano, the ocean, and the banana plantations — all with easy access to black sand beaches, volcanic rock pools, and the Teide and Anaga national parks.
The name 'IKIGAI' (ee-key-guy) comes from a Japanese concept meaning a reason to live, primarily associated with the town of Okinawa, home to the longest-living people on earth. The people of Okinawa live according to Ikigai principles — an intersection between four distinct elements.
These elements form the philosophical foundation of the coliving. The founder's vision is that the community growing from this project can help people find their own Ikigai, even if only a little bit.
Ikigai Coliving aims to provide a space where tenants can feel at home — not alienated by constant changes of guests. It focuses on improving productivity through designated public and private workspaces, and developing a sense of belongingness through community activities.
Work-life balance is central to the experience: the house fosters a great atmosphere where tenants often hang out together, cook together, and share local knowledge about authentic food spots and hidden places only locals frequent. Tenants can make new friends or even become close like a family.
Ikigai Coliving sits between the coastal town of Puerto de la Cruz and the picturesque historic village of La Orotava, in the north of Tenerife. The property is positioned right off the northern highway, offering quick access across the island. The surrounding area features banana plantations and views of the Teide volcano and the ocean.
The neighborhood is calm and residential, described by guests as a "very beautiful and quiet area" with a pleasant atmosphere for recharging and remote work. The best beaches of the north — from El Socorro to El Bollulo — are all less than 10 minutes away. Teide National Park and the Anaga rural park are also easily reachable from this central location.
Two well-known local restaurants — Mi Niño and Tito's Bodeguita — are within walking distance. Guests consistently note the easy access to nature, authentic local culture, and hidden gems known mostly to locals.
