Scene Maturity

Moderately developed and growing

Community Character

The digital nomad community on the island is incredibly diverse, attracting remote workers from Europe, North America, and beyond. Fuerteventura, especially Corralejo and El Cotillo, offers a laidback, surf-and-watersports-oriented vibe with a strong expat and remote worker presence; if you enjoy surfing, kitesurfing, windsurfing, or yoga, you'll find an active community and plenty of options.

Networking Intensity

Moderate to strong

Scene Maturity Notes

Fuerte has quickly become the biggest and most popular digital nomad and remote workers hotspot of all the Canary Islands, though being wilder and less developed in terms of structures in comparison to Tenerife or Gran Canaria. Especially the North of the island is vibrant with co-working and co-living spaces, digital nomad-friendly bars, and a growing community of remote workers.

Networking Intensity Notes

The island is home to a growing number of digital nomads, leading to a vibrant network where you can connect with like-minded professionals; networking events, meetups, and workshops are common, enabling you to expand both your social circle and professional connections. However, nomad scene is here with a couple of Meetups and Activities if you look for it—networking requires active participation.
