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.
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.
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.
Maraya is set in the Los Brezos barranco (valley) on the edge of Candelaria, positioned between the mountains of Güímar and the ocean, surrounded by palm trees, mango tree fields and fruit farms. The property sits uphill from the coast, offering 270-degree views stretching from the mountains to the sea, and is in a quiet, local neighborhood away from the busy tourist areas.
Located in the middle of Tenerife, the area enjoys the sunny climate of the south while retaining the green valleys and natural feel of the north. Guests describe it as peaceful and quiet, with nature just a few minutes' walk away — and the ocean about 20–25 minutes downhill. The surrounding area is home to locals rather than tourists, giving it an authentic, unhurried atmosphere.
Tenerife's diverse landscapes are within easy reach, from the turquoise Atlantic waters (home to 27 species of dolphins and whales) to the lush Anaga Rural Park, volcanic El Teide peak, and numerous beaches with natural swimming pools.
