New! “Casa Alsatia”: Boutique Coliving in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
Finding a place to live in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria as a digital nomad can feel like a juggling act. Do you go for the comfort of a hotel, the independence of an apartment, or the social buzz of a hostel? Casa Alsatia has swooped in with the answer: all of the above, but with better WiFi.
This brand-new coliving sits right in the centre of the city, offering a home that’s polished and private, yet full of community spirit. It opened in the summer of 2025, and I’ve already been over to check it out. Honestly, if I wasn’t based here myself, I’d be booking a stay at Casa Alsatia in a heartbeat.
✨ What Makes Casa Alsatia Special
Casa Alsatia sits inside a lovingly renovated historic building, and you can feel that mix of old-world charm and new-world design in every corner. Here’s what you get:
- 18 private rooms with ensuite bathrooms, smart TVs, wardrobes, and your own office corner complete with coffee maker, kettle, microwave, sink, and minibar.
- Lots of natural light in every room, with some lucky ones even boasting a balcony or terrace. Perfect for sipping your morning cortado.
- Twice-weekly cleaning of your room, so you never need to worry about dust bunnies or bathroom battles.
- Daily cleaning in communal areas.
- High-speed WiFi and wired Ethernet, a combo that means smooth Zoom calls and lag-free Netflix marathons.
- Coworking and communal spaces designed for focus and connection, placed on their own floor to keep the living areas quiet and cosy.
- Onsite laundry facilities (washer & dryer), because let’s face it, eventually you’ll run out of clean T-shirts. (Not included in the price.)
All the perks of a boutique stay, plus flatmates who get the joys (and pains) of remote work life.
🏡 Why You’ll Love It
Casa Alsatia isn’t just walls and WiFi. It’s a project with heart, run by siblings Sara and Bernardo. Sara brings her hospitality skills to the daily flow of the house, while Bernardo, an architect and illustrator, shaped the design. Together they’ve created a place that feels lived-in, cared for, and intentionally crafted for people who want both privacy and community.
The vibe? Relaxed but inspiring. You can close your door and dive into deep work, or head to the dining table and find yourself sharing tapas recipes with a new friend from Berlin. Evenings often unfold into conversations over a glass of local wine, and weekends might mean exploring the island together.
📍 Location, Location
Casa Alsatia is right on Calle León y Castillo, one of the city’s main arteries. Which means you’ve got:
- Playa de Alcaravaneras right across the street, a sports oriented beach with lots of volleyball matches.
- Playa de Las Canteras just a stroll away for your daily swim or sunset walk.
- Triana and Vegueta nearby for shopping, tapas, and culture.
- A bus stop literally at the front door, making it ridiculously easy to zip across the city without needing a car.
- A Sitycleta station right outside, so you can hop on one of the city’s rental bikes and cruise the coastal bike path in minutes.
The central location makes it easy to balance work and play: one minute you’re on a video call, the next you’re sipping a barraquito at a local café or catching live music in a plaza.
🧳 Who It’s For
Casa Alsatia is ideal if you’re:
- A digital nomad looking for a plug-and-play setup where you don’t need to think about furniture, bills, or internet speed.
- A remote professional craving both productivity and social connection.
- A longer-term traveller who wants more comfort than a hostel but more interaction than an Airbnb.
Discounted prices apply from stays of 14 days and up, so it works for both test-runs and full-on island relocations.
🌍 The Local Touch
One of the things that makes Casa Alsatia stand out is how rooted it feels in Gran Canaria. It’s not just a random building turned into “coliving.” The historic bones have been kept, the interiors show off thoughtful design, and the hosts are Canarian themselves, making sure you get more than just a bed—you get a taste of island life.
Step outside and you’re already in the rhythm of the city. The morning soundscape? Buses, school kids, and the occasional green parrot flying overhead. The evenings? A gentle sea breeze drifting through the streets, with neighbours chatting on balconies. Living here, you’re part of the pulse, not a tourist passing through.
