About Nine Coliving

Nine is a coliving community located in the historical centre of La Orotava, Tenerife, housed in a beautiful old Canarian building from 1852. The space offers views over the sea and the volcano, combining its location right in the middle of the historical town with a focus on slow life and slow tourism. Nine provides digital nomads with a one-of-a-kind experience exploring island life while finding the right work-life balance.

Origin story

The story of Nine starts with Anne, a 36-year-old Dutch woman who spent her twenties working to save money for travel adventures. In 2016, she joined a group of 50 digital nomads to travel the world for a year, living and working in 12 cities across 4 continents. This transformative experience led her to eventually settle in Tenerife, where she discovered the perfect location in La Orotava's historical center. Anne transformed a beautiful old Canarian house from 1852 into Nine, creating a space where digital nomads could live, work, and explore the magical corners of Tenerife together.

Community philosophy

At Nine, coliving is more than just a place to stay—it's a home where remote workers, creatives, and curious souls come together to live intentionally, work with purpose, and build meaningful relationships. The community is built around connection and shared experiences, whether sharing meals, co-working side by side, or exploring the island together.

Nine operates with strong values that include respect, fairness, and support for local businesses. The space emphasizes sustainable resources, environmental care, recycling, and helping abandoned dogs. The philosophy centers on living and working without stepping on anyone, always prioritizing that guests feel good above all else. The community approach focuses on slow living and slow tourism, encouraging deeper connections with both the place and the people.
