How many coworking spaces are there in Galápagos?
Coworking spaces listed

Updated July 2026
Traditional/hotel-based coworking scene in the Galapagos is extremely limited — this reflects a genuine data gap, not incomplete research. No membership-club-style (Soho House-style) private clubs or coliving-hybrid coworking spaces were found operating in the Galapagos Islands. The islands' coworking scene consists of one standalone space in Puerto Ayora (covered under standard coworking, not this part), with no coliving-plus-coworking hybrid properties or dues-based social/work membership clubs identified.

Good to know
Good to Know
- Ecuador's official currency is the US Dollar, so there is no separate local-vs-USD conversion for prices here — figures are the same in both.
- None of the venues found publish a standard day-pass or monthly coworking rate online — pricing typically has to be requested directly (via Facebook/Instagram DM or in person), which is unusual compared to mainland Ecuador coworking hubs like Quito or Cuenca.
- Internet reliability is the real bottleneck, not desk availability: multiple nomad accounts describe patchy 4G and inconsistent Wi‑Fi across the islands, with Starlink-equipped venues (like Mycelium) being the more dependable option for calls.
- The coworking 'scene' here is essentially one dedicated venue (Mycelium) plus a couple of hotels with a coworking corner as a guest amenity — do not expect a Bali- or Lisbon-style coworking market.
- Galapagos is a very small, tourism-driven remote-work market — infrastructure is limited to one dedicated coworking space in Puerto Ayora (Santa Cruz Island); it does not currently have Soho House-style membership clubs or coliving-plus-coworking hybrid properties like those found in mainland nomad hubs (e.g. Medellín, Lisbon, Bali).
- Ecuador's official currency is the US Dollar, so there is no local-currency conversion needed for any prices in this city.
- Internet connectivity across the islands is inconsistent and Starlink-dependent; several nomad-community sources describe reliable online work as genuinely difficult here, so treat any 'coworking' claim in Galapagos with realistic expectations regardless of format.
Coworking Spaces

Mycelium Coworking Space
- Type
- Traditional coworking
- Neighborhood
- Central Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz Island (on Avenida Charles Darwin, the main strip)
- Vibe and Amenities

Located at the Center of Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz Island, Galapagos' first Coworking Space, totally new facilities, high speed internet (Starlink Business) and Firewall, Air conditioning and amenities (coffee, tea, water). The place features individual working spaces, shared rooms, a meeting room, and quiet work stations. A community full of travelers around the world join every day, attend to night events and join workshops. It's positioned as a social hub for travelers as much as a pure workspace.
Galapagos Native (Hotel)
- Type
- Hotel-based coworking
- Neighborhood
- Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz Island — about 0.7 km from the town center, near Academy Bay and the Galápagos National Park office
- Vibe and Amenities
- A family-friendly guesthouse/hotel that lists a coworking space among its facilities, alongside a pool, spa, bar, restaurant and meeting room. With a stay at Galapagos Native, you'll be centrally located in Puerto Ayora, steps from Galápagos National Park and Academy Bay. Pamper yourself with a visit to the spa, which offers massages. If you're looking for recreational opportunities, you'll find an outdoor pool and bicycles to rent. Additional amenities at this guesthouse include complimentary wireless internet access, concierge services, and an arcade/game room. This is a resort-style coworking corner rather than a standalone workspace — realistically usable mainly by hotel guests, with no public day-pass system found.
Unleash Surf Digital Nomad Retreat
- Type
- Hotel-based coworking
- Neighborhood
- Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, San Cristóbal Island (town center)
- Vibe and Amenities
- A packaged surf-and-remote-work retreat (private rooms plus a shared coworking space, sold as an all-in weekly retreat rather than a drop-in coworking desk) in Puerto Baquerizo Moreno on San Cristobal Island, a small, ocean-side town... surf crystal clear waves, relax on white-sand beaches, hike up to a freshwater lake or negotiate with a sea lion for a seat on her park bench. The town-centre is a pretty collection of laid-back restaurants and bars. Pricing found was structured as an old weekly retreat package (not a standalone day-pass/monthly desk rate), so it's not directly comparable to a normal coworking membership.
