Las Palmas has one of the most active coworking scenes in southern Europe, built up over more than a decade alongside the city's growing digital nomad community. Some spaces are tight-knit members-led clubs; others are event-driven hubs with weekly programming; one has been quietly anchoring the scene since 2012. If you have outgrown working from cafés and want a real desk, fast wifi, and people to bump into in the kitchen, this guide is the shortlist.
These are four coworkings in Las Palmas that consistently come up in nomad conversations, with notes on what each one is best for, the rough format, and how to decide between them.
How to think about coworking in Las Palmas
A coworking is a different commitment from a café. You are paying for the space, the community, and the infrastructure (phone booths, meeting rooms, reliable wifi, printers). Before picking one, the questions worth answering are:
- How long are you staying? A few days favours a flexible day-pass spot. A month or longer favours a community-led space where you actually meet people.
- What is your call schedule? If you have back-to-back video calls, you need real phone booths or call rooms, not just a desk. Not every coworking has them.
- 24/7 or business hours? Some spaces close at 19:00; others give you a key fob and access at any hour. Time-zone matters here too.
- Community vs quiet focus? Some coworkings are buzzing with events and chats; others are deliberately calm. Pick what matches your energy.
- Distance to the beach? Most of the good ones cluster near Las Canteras. Walking to the water for a lunchtime swim is a real Las Palmas thing.
Coworkings in Las Palmas
Beach House Coworking
Address: Calle Churruca, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
Beach House describes itself as a private club rather than a drop-in coworking, and that framing is accurate. The space sits a stone's throw from Las Canteras, runs 24/7 access, and has built up a community of more than 1,500 members from around the world. The model leans toward longer commitments, weeks and months rather than single-day visits, and they ask you to request a visit before signing up so they can show you around. That structure is not for everyone, but it is exactly why people who have been here a while end up there: the bar to entry filters for people who actually want to belong to a community.
Best for: Nomads staying at least a few weeks who want a serious community to plug into, not just a desk. Less ideal for someone passing through for a couple of days.
Soppa de Azul
Address: Calle Américo Vespucio, 68, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
The OG of the Las Palmas coworking scene. Soppa de Azul opened in 2012, well before "digital nomad" was a marketing category, and it has the calm, lived-in feel of a space that knows what it is doing. About a minute from Las Canteras, it offers spacious desks (most with monitors already set up), proper quiet call rooms, fast wifi, and a curated rotation of artwork on the walls. The atmosphere is professional and focused rather than party-hub. Day passes are €20 and hourly options are available, which makes it the most accessible of the four for short visits.
Best for: Anyone who wants a classic, professional coworking experience without committing to a community membership. Strong choice for short visits.
Coworking Palermo
Address: C. República Dominicana, 18, 35010 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
Coworking Palermo shares a building with Talleres Palermo, the converted carpentry workshop that runs a daytime café, vintage furniture showroom, and live music programme upstairs. The coworking itself offers hot desks and private offices in the same industrial setting, which means you get the design and atmosphere of one of the city's most distinctive spaces without sitting in the public-facing café area. Day-pass pricing is not always listed publicly, so reach out directly if you want a single-day visit. If you already love Talleres Palermo as a place to be, this is the natural progression.
Best for: People who already know and like Talleres Palermo and want a more private workspace inside the same building.
White Forest
Address: C/ Simancas, 80, 35010 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
White Forest is the most "designed" of the four, with a coastal-modern look and roughly 30 workstations. 24/7 access, unlimited coffee and tea, AC, a phone booth, a kitchen, a private meeting room, and a dedicated event space. It is one minute from La Cicer, the southern end of Las Canteras and the city's main surf spot, which makes it the natural fit for surfers on a remote-work schedule. Day passes are bookable directly or through apps like Croissant and Nomad Cowork.
Best for: Nomads who want a polished space and easy access to the surf side of Las Canteras.
How to choose between them
| You want… | Go to |
|---|---|
| A long-term community to belong to | Beach House Coworking |
| A calm, professional desk for a few days | Soppa de Azul |
| Industrial, design-led space inside Talleres Palermo | Coworking Palermo |
| 24/7 access and surf at lunchtime | White Forest |
A practical move when you are new to the city: try Soppa de Azul or White Forest first as day-pass visits, then commit to a longer-term plan at whichever of the four matches your energy.
Practical notes
- Phone booths. If you are on calls all day, ask before signing up. White Forest, Soppa de Azul, and Beach House all have proper call rooms or booths. Coworking Palermo, smaller, is worth asking about directly.
- Day passes vs memberships. A day pass is fine for 1–3 days. For a week or longer, a weekly or monthly plan usually works out cheaper per day, and you actually start meeting people.
- Beach proximity. All four are within walking distance of Las Canteras, which is one of the things that makes Las Palmas so good for remote work. Use the lunch swim. It is the best feature of the city.
- Cross-check the calendar. If you care about events, look at each coworking's Instagram before you commit.
When a coworking is overkill
Cafés cover the lighter end of the workday well, and they are cheaper, more spread out, and let you change scene during the day. If you are doing a few hours of focused writing, a video call here and there, and you want to be surrounded by ambient city life rather than other laptops, a café is often the better choice.
