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.

Activities

Location

Calle Tomàs Zerolo 18, 38300 La Orotava, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain

Nine Coliving is situated in the historical centre of La Orotava, a charming town in the north of Tenerife. The coliving occupies a beautiful old Canarian house right in the heart of the historic town — a colorful, hilly area with well-preserved traditional architecture and a distinctly local, authentic feel quite different from the more touristy south of the island.

The location offers spectacular views over both the sea and Mount Teide, providing a unique vantage point of Tenerife's dramatic landscape. Cafes, restaurants, and a supermarket are all within easy walking distance. Guests consistently describe La Orotava as a "small charming town" and a "beautiful little village" — the area is colorful and hilly, with a quiet atmosphere during the day and a lively one in the evenings.

The nearby town of Puerto de la Cruz is about 45 minutes downhill on foot, or a short taxi or bus ride away.

Getting around

  • Very walkable
    Supermarket, gym, restaurants, cafes, and shops all within walking distance; sea about 45 minutes on foot
    Reviews: Guests confirm essentials are very close — Mercadona and Lidl within easy walking distance. Puerto de la Cruz and the beach are reachable on foot in around 45 minutes, though most prefer the bus or taxi for that stretch.
  • TITSA bus network
    Multiple Titsa bus lines (30, 343, 345, 352, 101) with stops within walking distance of Nine Coliving, connecting La Orotava to Puerto de la Cruz and beyond.
    Destinations: Puerto de la Cruz, beaches, hiking areas, El Teide volcano, wine regions, historical towns
    Reviews: Guests note the TITSA bus works well for reaching natural areas, cute towns and the beach in about 10 minutes. Seen as a decent option, though slower and less flexible than having a car.
  • Local taxi
    Available on-demand; can be called or found at transport hubs. About 10 minutes and €10 from Puerto de la Cruz.
    Destinations: Beaches, hiking trailheads, El Teide volcano, Puerto de la Cruz, wine regions, coastal towns
    Reviews: Guests mention taxis as a quick, convenient option to reach Puerto de la Cruz and the beach in around 10 minutes — a handy alternative when not renting a car.
  • Car rental
    Multiple rental agencies at both airports and near Nine Coliving. Best deals typically at South Airport. Travel insurance recommended to avoid extra costs at the rental agency. Non-EU visitors (e.g. from the US) should obtain an international driving permit before arrival.
    Destinations: Full island exploration — remote beaches, hiking trailheads, El Teide volcano, wine regions, coastal towns, surfing and diving spots, national parks
    Reviews: Guests consistently recommend renting a car, especially for shorter stays, calling it the best way to explore beaches, national parks and remote spots at your own pace. Several note it makes a significant difference to the overall experience.
  • Free parking
    Free parking in La Orotava's town centre, though spots may be a few streets' walk from Nine, especially during rush hour. Free and safe parking available across from Tasca Villera de tapa en tapa. Note: blue lines have a limited parking time; yellow lines are for residents only.
