iSlow Coliving is a rural coliving space in Laxe, Costa da Morte, Galicia, focused on slow living philosophy and connecting digital nomads with authentic Galician culture. The space emphasizes quality over quantity in work, food, and parenting, offering a place of great natural beauty where guests can live and work in a slow culture environment while experiencing local traditions, gastronomy, and community life.
iSlow was born from the vision of a family with Celtic roots who returned to Galicia in 2020 after living in the United Kingdom for over 10 years. They came back with heads full of plans for the "old house" that had been waiting for them. The family wanted their children to grow up in contact with nature, close to the people they love, and live in community. They also sought to create their own network and undertake a project that helped meet the needs of their environment - to be an open door to a work style where digitisation allows mobility and where digital nomads create a life based around sustainable and quality initiatives. This is how iSlow was born, as a space to create connections while discovering the beauty of the Costa da Morte first hand.
iSlow's community philosophy centers on slow living - seeking to do everything at the right speed rather than rushing. The space advocates for being masters of time, focusing on personal and social well-being, and environmental sustainability. They consume locally and support those around them.
The community embraces the Slow Food philosophy, emphasizing the origin of produce, preparation of traditional meals, and the satisfaction of sharing them with others. Food brings people together around a table to share moments with family and friends, avoiding rushing and being conscious about consumed products.
For families, iSlow believes in community parenting - that "it takes a village to raise a child." They provide security and support to traveling families, creating an environment where children have their own space and active role, making the community healthier. The local community values are evident in how frequently people get together to share, help or celebrate.
The space facilitates integration of colivers into the local environment, sharing culture, gastronomy, customs and traditions with the goal of providing the experience of a lifetime.
iSlow is set in Costa da Morte, the hidden gem of Galicia and the largest coastal stretch of the Iberian peninsula without large urban centres. The property sits 1 km from the town centre of Laxe, a quaint coastal village on the A Coruña coast, surrounded by a large plot of land with a hill from which paths lead to pristine beaches.
The area is defined by rugged natural beauty: crystal-clear waters, dramatic cliffs with sweeping views, hidden waterfalls, and enchanting forests. The coast is steeped in history, traditions, and local culture, with a strong sense of peace and community. Guests consistently describe the setting as quiet, unspoiled, and far from tourist crowds — a place where you can walk for hours without seeing another person.
Laxe itself is described by guests as quaint and lively, with a welcoming local community. The broader Costa da Morte region offers spectacular hiking trails, surf spots, and access to local festivals and markets throughout the year.
