Coworking in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Coworking in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria’s White Forest is a fantastic opportunity for remote workers seeking a change of scene and the benefits of working in the sunshine, plus it’s also ideal for those who are starting up new ventures and/or don’t want nor need the large overheads of having their own office.

Unless you’ve been hiding in a bunker somewhere for the past few years, you’ll already know what coworking is. It has been rising in popularity for a few years now, with various fabulous destinations becoming hubs for travelling workers who have the flexibility to work anywhere in the world that has a decent internet connection. But for those of you that don’t know…

What is coworking?

As a basic overview, coworking is when a group of people share a neutral space to work on their own projects or for different companies. The space itself looks like an office, walks like an office and talks like an office but it comes with a shedload more flexibility! For example, you can usually use these spaces without a long-term contract, offering you the freedom to come and go as you please. 

Most of these shared spaces will offer you desks, meeting rooms, tea/coffee/water, phones and of course that all important internet connection. 

Why choose the Canary Islands?

Of course the Canary Islands are a popular destination for people, due in no small part to the fabulous weather. It’s also easily accessible by sea and air from many other places. 

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is a popular choice for Canary Islands visitors and residents. The city is cool, arty, functional and pretty damn gorgeous to visit! 

Look – we could wax lyrical all day long about the benefits of spending time in the Canary Islands… but today we are going to look specifically at one coworking space specifically.

Imagine if there was a coworking space there in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria that would enable you to enjoy the facilities of a shared office just a hop, skip and jump from the nearest beach.

Coworking in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria’s White Forest

You’re in luck, because there is! White Forest is a renovated coworking space in Las Canteras Beach, near La Cicer. Located just 150 metres from the aforementioned beach, White Forest is newly renovated and has everything you need to extend your laptop or smartphone into a professional office.

Whether you would like a standing desk (posture fans like myself love these) or a larger fixed one, White Forest is beautifully decorated, allowing for peace and comfort throughout your working day.  There is high speed internet, free water and coffee, a lounge area and kitchen, a meeting room, phone booths and even an auditorium where regular events are held (which users of the space are welcome to join). It’s open 24 hours a day too, so you can always match your chosen timezone. 

All in all, it’s a great space where everything is taken care of so that you can concentrate on your own productivity with the added bonus of making new friends – fellow professionals just like yourself!

In conclusion, why not consider adding Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to your list of desired locations in which to work… and enjoy all of the facilities and support that White Forest has to offer you.
