About Maraya Coliving

Maraya is nestled in a beautiful barranco, overlooking the ocean and surrounded by nature in Tenerife. The coliving features premium rooms, multiple dedicated workspaces with incredible views, and something that's just Maraya - a unique atmosphere created by 5 friends brought together through their shared passion of surfing and dream of living by the ocean.

Origin story

Five friends brought together through their shared passion of surfing, the dream of living by the ocean, and the idea of creating a space where people have everything they need to work remotely and enjoy life to the fullest sparked Maraya's creation.

Like all good ideas, it took time. At the beginning it was simply post surf evenings wondering "what if?", sharing travel and digital nomad experiences – the good, the bad and the ugly – and dreaming of their own space.

Then the team and the idea gained momentum. First it was 9 months searching to find the house, then 5 painful months of waiting as negotiations and documents were prepared, until finally they completed at the end of January 2021. It felt like a finish line, but really they had only just begun, now the fun stuff – creating their space. It took another 9 months to renovate everything exactly how they'd imagined it – no wonder it feels like a baby to them.

Community philosophy

Maraya aims to create a family experience where residents feel at home as soon as they arrive. The community believes in a healthy work-life balance and loves to explore together.

They understand the importance of community and good vibrations, creating spaces and experiences to provide opportunities to connect, share, move and work together. The community works together, eats together, does yoga together, surfs together and goes on adventures together. They believe in inclusivity and value different perspectives, cultures and ideas.

Maraya cultivates a sharing culture where residents are encouraged to share their skills and hidden talents with the community during skill sharing nights. This is how they grow and thrive as a community.
