No Soho House-style private social/work club was found in Arequipa — the city's scene skews toward hostel-coworking hybrids rather than upscale private membership clubs. Two genuine coliving-hybrid coworking spaces were identified.

Good to know
Good to Know
- Arequipa's traditional coworking scene is real but noticeably smaller and less polished than Lima or Cusco's — one long-stay nomad reviewer specifically flagged slow internet and coworking spaces that weren't as nice as hoped.
- Most locally-run coworking spaces in Arequipa (La Pera, Conexa, CoworkinHouse, Open House, Arequipa Works) don't publish day-pass or monthly rates online — expect to message them directly (often via Facebook or WhatsApp) for a quote.
- At Selina Arequipa, the coworking area is NOT automatically included with a regular room booking — you either buy the bundled 'Colive' package or pay for a separate day pass, so don't assume free cowork access just because you're staying there.
- Arequipa does not currently have a Soho House-style private members' club combining work, social, and lifestyle amenities — if that's specifically what you're after, look to Lima instead.
- At Selina Arequipa, the coworking space is NOT automatically included with a hostel room booking — you either pay for a coworking day/monthly pass separately or book the bundled 'CoLive' package if you want both lodging and workspace access together.
- Coliving-hybrid options in Arequipa are limited to essentially two operators (Selina and the much smaller Proavance) — this is a thin market compared to bigger nomad hubs, so don't expect much choice or negotiating leverage.

- Type
- Traditional coworking
- Neighborhood
- Arequipa (exact street not specified in available listings)
- Monthly Price
- PEN 244
Hot-desk monthly plan 'from $66 USD'; a Dedicated Desk plan is listed at roughly $82 USD (~303 PEN). Figures are back-converted from a USD-denominated aggregator listing, not confirmed on the venue's own site — treat as approximate.

Selina Arequipa Cowork
- Type
- Hotel-based coworking
- Neighborhood
- Historic center — Calle Jerusalén 606, around the corner from Arequipa's main square (Plaza de Armas)
- Day Pass Price
- PEN 30
Selina's stated global policy is a coworking day pass of roughly $8–15 USD depending on location (≈30–56 PEN at current rates); an Arequipa-specific confirmed figure was not found, so treat this as an estimate range rather than a locked-in local price.
- Vibe and Amenities
- A boutique hostel/hotel with an attached coworking space — glass-walled private rooms plus a long shared table, a phone booth, and a small kitchen with fridge/microwave. On-site hotel amenities (bar, pool, yoga deck, restaurant) are steps away. Design is polished, but the space is small, acoustics are imperfect (music from the bar and thin-walled booths can bleed into calls), and importantly, coworking access is NOT automatically included with a room booking — non-Colive guests must buy a separate day pass.
Membership Clubs and Co-living Hybrids
Clubs and Hybrids
Selina Arequipa (Selina CoWork + CoLive)
- Type
- Co-living / co-working hybrid
- Neighborhood
- Selva Alegre, a short walk from Plaza de Armas / historic center (Calle Jerusalen 606)
- Vibe and Amenities
- Part of Selina's global hostel-coworking-coliving chain. The property is a key meeting point for locals and guests alike with a vibrant array of ongoing events covering wellness, art and music, with a bar, movie room, swimming pool, yoga deck and an on-site restaurant . The dedicated cowork facility itself features a combination of private glass rooms and a long table for traditional cowork sharing, a phone booth and a small kitchen complete with a fridge and microwave . Selina CoLive is structured as a month-by-month rental program which includes accommodation, CoWork spaces, all hostel amenities, events etc , making it the closest thing in Arequipa to a true coliving-hybrid coworking product. One long-stay reviewer noted the people at the cowork came and went quickly, an unexpected difference from experience in other countries, such as Mexico, where remote workers would plop there for weeks or months on end , suggesting turnover is higher and long-term networking may be thinner than at Selina locations elsewhere.
Pricing
- Coworking Day Pass
- PEN 150
- Coworking Monthly Pass

Proavance Coworking
- Type
- Co-living / co-working hybrid
- Neighborhood
- Yanahuara (Calle Misti 109) — a short taxi ride from the historic center
- Vibe and Amenities
- Smaller, low-key operation combining coworking with on-site coliving, English speaking staff, free coffee/tea, fridge, microwave , positioning it as a genuine work-plus-live hybrid rather than a pure day-desk coworking space, though it has far less brand recognition and online documentation than Selina.
