Surf Camps vs. Colivings: What experience are you looking for in Gran Canaria?

When booking your trip to the islands, the big doubt arises: "Do I look for a traditional Surf Camp in Gran Canaria or do I opt for the Coliving style?"

At Oceanside, located in the heart of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, we see both types of travelers daily. That's why we want to help you decide which format best suits your current moment.

The Surf Camp Spirit: Total Immersion

If you come with a clear goal: to learn to surf or radically improve your technique in a short time, your mindset is "Surf Camp".

• The focus: 100% in the water. Your day revolves around tides, lessons, and video analysis.
• The vibe: Usually dynamic, perfect for disconnecting from the work routine and meeting new people with your same passion.
• The Oceanside Solution: Our Stay & Surf packages capture this essence. We offer you a closed pack with accommodation and intensive courses so you don't have to think about anything other than the next set coming in at La Cícer.

The Coliving Style: Local Life and Productivity

This is the evolution for the long-stay traveler or digital nomad looking to settle for a season in Las Canteras.

• The focus: Work-Life Balance. Here, priority is given to having a good workspace, reliable internet connection, and freedom of schedule.
• The vibe: More relaxed and independent. You seek to feel like a local ("live like a local"), shop at the market, and free surf before or after work.
• The Oceanside Solution: If you seek privacy and comfort, our accommodations in Las Canteras work as the perfect coliving. Equipped apartments where you can set up your office, with the freedom to book single lessons or rentals only when you decide.

Why choose if you can have it all?

The magic of Gran Canaria and Oceanside is that we don't force you to sleep in a bunk bed with 10 people to live the surfer vibe.

Our proposal combines the quality of private accommodation (ideal for the coliving standard) with the sporting intensity of our school (surf camp spirit). You decide the rhythm: Intensive wave week or a month of telework and salt?

See you in the water.
