Wer Erfahrungen im Coliving sammeln möchte ist hier bestens aufgehoben! Ich war zum ersten Mal hier und es war auch meine erste Coliving-Erfahrung und ich komme gerne wieder! In Maraya herrscht eine tolle Atmosphäre, man hat viel Platz, das Essen war fantastisch und auch die Leute und gemeinsamen Aktivitäten einfach toll. Und wer kann zu dem Arbeitsausblick schon nein sagen!

Being in Maraya is such a flawless experience that words could not describe the space in your heart when you leave. When you enter in Maraya for first time, you realize the good vibe it gives to you. I recommend it to everyone who wants to break with his routine and know people from all over the world. Thank you for everyone who make Maraya could exist!

Writing this from my home after my second stay there, and it has been just as amazing as the first time. If you're looking for a coliving space, don't hesitate—go spend a few weeks in Maraya. You won't regret it.

After spending 7 weeks at Maraya, it was time for me to leave...I almost felt like I was leaving home as I got into the car on the way to the airport. Lucca, one of the owners, is a very thoughtful and chilled person. On my first day at Maraya, he was more than happy to offer to take me to the grocery store and help me run a few errands. During my stay, he also offered to change my room to a better one with a hammock, which I definitely made the most of! He also gave me some money off some of my stay as well as, a free ride back to the airport. I was really grateful for all of this. The house and surrounding areas... amazing. Not only is there space to work in various locations inside and out, the grounds offer enough space for moments of solitude too. Whether it's the hammock in the treehouse, the sofa at the back of the garden or the rooftop. Each location was perfect for catching the sun, moon and the stars. I had countless evenings where I was able to catch shooting stars too! The rooms and bathrooms are well maintained and cleaned to a good standard, issues are dealt with quite quickly so that's also good. The place is safe. There's an outdoor gym area too. The volunteers, friendly, helpful, kind, thoughtful and so generous in nature. Each and every single one brought something amazing to the community whether it was lessons communal dinners, Wine, hikes, yoga, spiritual healing sessions, breathwork, surfing and more. Bruna (the rock), Laura, Elisa, Shannon, Fernando, Matûs, Jakub, Cande, DJ Nat... Biodiversity in the household is amazing, you may find a duck in the swimming pool, baby lizards hiding in the hat in your room, cute little jumping spiders, a wild cat who I'm pretty sure has a split personality and an interesting bird that likes to fly around in the evenings. Then there's the abundance of fruit and veg that grows in the garden, passion fruit, mango, bananas, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers and one of my favourite plants (Lucca, you know which one it is) right at the back! The internet is fantastic, there's a printer as well, groceries on delivery if needed, shops and beaches nearby, short walking distance to the town. Tenerife is a special Island. Thank you to the Maraya community for all the wonderful dinners, the love, the kindess, the laughter, the music and more. I walked away with so many new memories and new friends.

I’m from Australia and stayed at Maraya Coliving for 6 weeks in June and July of 2022. I planned to stay for one week, but ended up extending upon realising how special the Maraya community is! 😊 As a result, I moved between the dorms and private rooms Blue Horse, Memphis and Mochi. ROOMS Dorms - Great for making friends quickly. The dorms are extremely comfortable and there’s only 6 beds. My sleep was never disturbed as each bed has a thick curtain enclosing it and its own lockable compartment in the bed head, each guest has their own shelf / cubicle in the separate lounge area, and the bathroom is separated from the dormitory by a hallway. Private Rooms - All of the private rooms are great, and have their own pros and cons. Memphis has a fantastic view of the ocean and a large desk (I was most productive here). Blue Horse is quite private as it’s towards the back of the house and conveniently located next to the shared bathrooms. Mochi is the most private, with its own bathroom, on the second floor and separated from the dormitory by the indoor kitchen, however it’s harder to integrate with the community from there. Ants - At the beginning of my stay there were ants in my room, and at times a few in my bed, but this was never particularly bad and I was conscious that this was Maraya's first summer. Fortunately during my stay, Maraya hired professionals to ant-proof the house and this completely eliminated the ant issue in all rooms. VALUE Maraya provides breakfast every morning (consisting of eggs, oatmeal, fruits, vegetables, toast and an array of milks, cereals & yoghurts) and four dinners per week. The dinners vary from paella (cooked traditionally on an open fire) to pizza night (with hand stretched dough in the pizza oven), African stews and Japanese inspired bowls. Particularly for vegetarian food, Maraya is probably “the best restaurant” in Tenerife and I never ate the same dish twice. For lunch, most guests cook with fresh vegetables and herbs from Maraya’s garden (free) and groceries from the supermarket. ACTIVITIES Many of Maraya’s activities are also hosted by the community’s volunteers who range from Canarian locals to travellers who have lived on the island for several months. Guests can also organise activities themselves. Surfing - One of the owners Ben is a fantastic surf instructor. His classes are small (approximately four guests at a time) and unlike many other surf instructors, Ben is always in the water to provide one-on-one guidance. Other Activities - Hiking, beach, surf skating, nights out, massages (by Flor / “Titi). COMMUNITY In my 10 years of travel, I’ve only been part of such a special community once, and the incredible thing about Maraya is that the community doesn’t rely on just one person (guest or staff), but Maraya’s culture of trust and values - So people will come and go, but the Maraya community is always amazing. For me, Maraya’s community starts with how everybody eats together, and the types of people who are attracted to Maraya tend to be health & wellness conscious, athletic and creative. There's also a strong entrepreneurial culture so many guests end up collaborating and supporting each other’s work. A lot of other guests work for startups and large corporations in Europe and the UK, and most are vegetarian and regularly practice yoga. My favourite weeks at Maraya were also catalysed by guests who volunteered to host “Skillshare” workshops such as for Human Design, Photography, and Contact Improvisation. So if there’s anything you can teach, please share! And finally, Maraya’s owners are young surfers themselves who live on the property and have created a community based on their favourite travel experiences. You’ll be able to spend a lot of time with them, and enjoy a very intimate and organic experience. Occassionally, they'll host a party or art exhibition and that's a great way to meet expats and locals who live in Tenerife! Check out Maraya if you have the chance. It’s a special place where lots of people make friends for life!

I recommend staying here. They offer tons of value, and they do it with style- delicious food, comfortable spaces to lounge/work, good music taste, nice interior decoration, and daily activities to include everyone. The shared meals + activities + volunteer to guest ratio create a true co-living experience rather than a typical hostel/any other co-living, co-work space I've been to. Once you arrive, you will need to integrate into a group of people who are already well settled. So if you're a bit introverted/sensitive, just be patient. But given this, if you are just passing through for a week or so, you will likely end up wanting to stay longer. I think it's the perfect place for a month or more of living. Also, if you prefer your independence, rent a car- it's cheap. But if you don't, they do a good job of offering trips to the supermarket and have a car you can rent for 20/euro day. But you'll have to either wait for group trips to the supermarket, or have to coordinate with a volunteer to let you use the car. This is done in person or over Slack, so in terms of communication, you will have to be flexible/patient. My most tangible feedback is that they should put a fan in every bedroom. Also, because Maraya is special, people are drinking the Koolaid and I think that a customer-oriented mindset can get lost and some things overlooked. It's a young company, so you will get to stay and be a part of a place that's maturing, and will likely be around for years! Be open with the staff too, they are receptive and caring. So BOOK IT for as long as you can, and rent a car if you think you'll want to do a lot of exploring independently. If you don't rent a car (many don't), you'll still find opportunities to explore with others. But, don't arrive hungry if you won't have a car. And if you do, take the somewhat sketchy walk to El Molino because it's delicious and friendly service. You won't regret staying at Maraya! Have fun.

I haven't written a Google Review in the last ~2 years but I have to do it because I just came back from a 6 day stay there (way to short) and the experience was aswesome!! Let my break down why my time there was so awesome and what a Coliving really means (for people who have never done it before). **Vibe** Obviously the vibe depends much on the people that currently live there. However the Ben & the 4 others who startet the coliving and the Volunteers are really friendly, relaxed, helpful and already give the place a nice vibe. During my stay the other Guests were also very open, kind and funny so I felt part of the family from day one. Professional vibes mixed with surfer and a few hippie vibes made it the perfect place for me to enjoy my time but also get work done. **People** There are ~20 guests living in Maraya. For me that is good size to get to know everybody but don't be overwhelmed. Most of the People come there alone and live there for multiple weeks or even months which also helps to create a family. **Coworking** Upstairs you have a floor with displays and sea view where you can work. However many people also work outside where you have internet in the last corner of the Garden. I often worked in a hammock, on the rooftop or somewhere outside in the shadow. The Wifi is good however the speeds are not the best but they're planning to get Fiber Internet in the next couple of months. I never had problems with the internet and could work without problems (including video calls). **Activities** Almost every day are multiple planned activities. From Daily Yoga Sessions (I tried Yoga the first time in my life) to Bonfires or a movie evening. That's nice because you don't have to plan anything during the day if you want to focus on your work but just join the others during an activity in the evenings. If you want to do more than that you always find someone who joins you for an hike, village visit, dive / surf session, .... On the weekends most guests group together to do bigger activities. **Food** During my stay the daily included breakfast was really good. Selfmade Bread, Eggs, Porridge, Cereals, ... 4x a week dinner is also included which was also very yummie. The first day I arrived they did selfmade Pizza (in an self made stone oven). The rest of the time you can cook something for yourself or with a group of others in the outside kitchen (or in the one inside). You get a spot inside the fridge and in the cupboard to store your own stuff. **Location** Candelaria is sadly not the hotspot for surfers or parties. But that is also an advantage because you're living next to many locals and not in the middle of one of the touristic hotspots. The place is located at the edge of the village which is nice because you are in the nature after 5 minutes of walking. Walking down to the ocean takes ~20 minutes. **Prices & Rooms** The prices start from ~22€ / night if you stay for one month in the dorm room (including daily activities, breakfast, 4 x weekly dinner!!). The Dorm Room is much better than in most hostels because the curtains allow you to have actual private space. It's also more quiet than in other dorms because all the luggage is stored in another room and not next to the beds.If you prefer to have more privacy or don't like snoring you can also get on of the rooms which are also very fairly priced. **House** The house is one of my highlights. The area is really big with a pool, an outside kitchen, plenty of outside working spots (tables, hammocks, etc.) and a very big garden where they grow vegetables themselves. They bought the place and took 10 months with 10 people to renovate and build everything up themselves. This is also one of the reasons for the nice vibes because from the beds to the stone oven, the outside kitchen and the bathrooms - everything feels kind of special and is often self made. **Renting** You can rent bicycles, a car, surf boards and other stuff directly from the owners which is very convenient.

When I thought the Coliving concept couldn't get better, Maraya Coliving opened up. First let's start with the people. The hosts, Ben, Dave, Domi and Lucca are incredibly friendly, fun and brilliant. Along with the volunteers that were there during my stay—Basti, Marco, Flo, Jackie, Alice and Lucas—which are sensational and super welcoming! Could it get better? Wait for it... To top it off, the guests when I was at Maraya were fantastic: Barbara, Jo, Greta, Cande, Federica, Natalie, Daniella, Therese, thank you! It was lovely to share this time with you all. The community at Maraya is amazing. The meals together, the activities that are organized throughout the week, working together in the office... It's incredible to think how just after a few days, I felt so at home with these people. They were my family! And for those that are introverts—like myself—don't be concerned about the amount of people in the house. The Coliving is so big and open that there's always enough room for you to have your me-time, or enjoy socialising in smaller groups. Let's follow up with the property. You have pretty much anything you could ask for: - Inmense pool? Checked. - Jamming stage with instruments. You've got it. - Ping pong table with enough space to play Around The World? Done. - Lovely garden with veggies, a bonfire and beautiful huts where the hosts and volunteers live. ✅. - Two kitchens, one of them outdoors where you can have dinner looking at the moon. Yep. - An office with the best views on the island. You get it remote workers. - Cozy bedrooms to rest peacefully and to have your Zoom calls. Yes please. - A rooftop with amazing 360 views, to do Yoga, workout or lie down and watch the sunrise—yes, there are beds in the rooftop. - And probably more things that I've forgotten, and more that Domi will keep building 💪⚒️, but dinner's getting cold. You get the idea. And last but not least, the area. Tenerife is unique when it comes to this. You can drive 30 minutes by car and be in a different micro-climate. The great thing about this side of the island where Maraya is located, is that you get to enjoy the warm weather of the south, while at the same time you're close to the big city—Santa Cruz—and to the north. In a bit more than 10 minutes by foot, you get to the town of Candelaria and Punta Larga, where you have pretty much everything you need: supermarkets, banks, gyms, pharmacies, a mall... It's a very local town, it doesn't feel touristic at all, which in my opinion makes the experience even better. If you're considering staying at Maraya, go for it. My bet is that you won't regret it, and my hope is that you enjoy it as much as I did.
