The Cocotera Hostel & Coworking

Categories

La Cocotera is a hostel and coworking space in the centre of Tarifa, Spain, describing itself as Europe's first of its kind, with dorm beds from around 15 euros a night through to private rooms, family rooms and coliving studios. Coworking access is included in the room rate. It is pet friendly, takes groups up to 30 and has facilities for people travelling by van.

La Cocotera: hostel, coworking and coliving in Tarifa

La Cocotera sits in the centre of Tarifa, the windsurf and kitesurf capital of Europe at Spain's southern tip. It combines a hostel, a coworking space and coliving studios, and claims to be the first hostel and coworking combination in Europe.

What La Cocotera Does

  • Every accommodation format. Dorm beds from around 15 euros a night, doubles, quads, family rooms, a four person suite and coliving studios.
  • Coworking included in the room rate. The operator makes a point that you pay the same as other accommodation and get the workspace as well.
  • Pet friendly, with private space for you and your animal. Which is genuinely rare.
  • Facilities for van travellers. Shower, kitchen, laundry and coworking for people sleeping in their vehicle, which fits Tarifa's scene exactly.
  • Groups up to 30. Team retreats and courses alongside individual stays.

Why It Makes Sense for Nomads

Tarifa is where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean and the wind blows almost constantly, which made it the kitesurfing centre of Europe. Africa is visible across the strait and reachable by ferry in under an hour, which few European bases can claim.

At 15 euros a night for a dorm bed with coworking included, this is one of the cheapest work-and-play setups in western Europe. The van facilities are a smart read of who actually comes to Tarifa.

Two things to note. Tarifa is busy and expensive in July and August, and quiet and windy the rest of the year, which suits remote workers better. The site is primarily in Spanish.

Pricing

Dorm beds from around 15 euros a night, with private rooms, family rooms and coliving studios priced higher. Coworking access included.

Cheap, windy and well set up, including for people living in a van.
