The Rise of Remote Work Communities in the Canary Islands

A New Kind of Buyer
Ten years ago, the typical buyer in the Canary Islands was a retiree seeking winter sun. Today, the demographic has shifted dramatically. The rise of remote work has brought a wave of professionals in their 30s and 40s to the islands.
What Remote Workers Look For
This new demographic has different needs:
- High-speed internet (Fiber optic is now standard in most areas).
- Dedicated workspaces within the home.
- Community: Proximity to co-working spaces and networking events.
- Active Lifestyle: Access to surfing, hiking, and cycling.
This shift is changing the types of properties that are in demand and has led to a revitalization of certain coastal towns.
