Saltwater Office: Being a Digital Nomad in Gran Canaria

Guide to remote working and surfing in Las Palmas with balance

Becoming a digital nomad in Gran Canaria is the goal of more and more European remote workers. And it's no coincidence: great weather all year round, European connectivity, and world-class waves. But to truly enjoy it, you need balance.

At Oceanside Gran Canaria, we know you haven't come just to type, but to live. Being in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, one of the cities with the best quality of life for remote workers, has a unique advantage: your office and the lineup are just a few meters apart.

Here we tell you how to telework from the Canary Islands without missing a meeting... or a wave.

The Tides set the Calendar

Forget the strict 9-to-5 schedule. The great advantage of remote working from the Canary Islands is that the rhythm is set by the sea.

  • Dawn Patrol: If the forecast is good at dawn, go surf first. Starting the day in the water will give you mental clarity that no cup of coffee can match.
  • The midday break: Take advantage of the central hours of the day, when the wind usually picks up at Las Canteras beach, for your deep work blocks.

Your office in paradise (Literally)

A laptop isn't enough to establish your base here. To be productive, you need the right environment. At Oceanside, we have adapted our accommodations thinking about the needs of the modern nomad.

Why choose us as your base of operations?

  • Premium Location: We are right on the Las Canteras promenade. Close your laptop and step on the sand in less than 5 minutes.
  • Total Connectivity: We know WiFi is as important as air. We offer a stable connection so your video calls flow without interruptions.
  • Post-Surf Comfort: After a session, you need an ergonomic and comfortable space to recover energy and keep creating.

The perfect formula: Stay & Surf

If you're looking to simplify your logistics and enjoy a true immersion experience, our Stay & Surf packages are the ideal solution. They combine quality accommodation with surf lessons adapted to your level.

It's the best way to telework from Gran Canaria: you leave the organization in our hands and you only worry about performing in your project and improving your bottom turn.

Networking at the shore

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is a hive of international talent. The best thing about working from Oceanside is the community. Business is no longer done in gray offices; it's done discussing the session or sharing dinner after sunset. Connecting with other travelers who have chosen this lifestyle can open unexpected professional doors.
