Every year in June our small and quiet town converts into a week long party of traditional celebrations. 💃🏻🌸🍷🥁 During the Fiestas de La Orotava, we dress up in traditional clothes, celebrate the new harvest, dance to salsa and merengue tunes and just ENJOY life and each other. What is so special about Las Fiestas in my opinion, is that it brings together people of all walks of life, all ages as well as locals and tourists. Everyone is welcome and you feel the comradery in the air. 💜
Come stay at Nine and you will live this beautiful week from the inside. As Nine is based in the heart of the centre, all festivities will happen right outside of your door. Here is a sum up of the most important days during Las Fiestas de La Orotava this year:
💃 June 5th: Baile de Magos
🌸 June 11th: Flower and sand carpets
🥁 June 12th: Romeria Chica
🍷 June 14th: Romeria
We still have some rooms available for these dates! Book now online and let’s celebrate together ✨🥳

Things change, it’s part of life. And with that comes the responsibility to make difficult decisions. 🤓 At Nine we have noticed summer isn’t as popular as it used to be and we need to make some changes to keep thriving.
Therefore, this summer will probably be the last summer we are open as the Coliving as you know it. 💜 If you want to be part of this last chance to spend summer at Nine, now is the time to book! Our rates for June, July and August are now 20% lower on our website. See you this summer?? ✨✨
Nine Coliving in Tenerife is Being Honest About Summer — and Offering a Deal
Nine Coliving just put out a refreshingly transparent post: summer is no longer their high season, and they need the bookings to keep the space running. So they're offering an extra 20% off on top of all current promos for stays this summer.
The case for Tenerife in summer is actually pretty solid — Atlantic breeze keeps it cooler than mainland Europe, the water is warm enough for long surf sessions, and the pace in the house gets more relaxed, which tends to mean better community connections.
They're also open to proposals: workshops, pop-ups, or just bringing a group of friends to use Nine as a homebase.
If you've been thinking about it, this is probably the best time to go.

Nine’s Origen story - part 1. 🎤 Let me tell you about the first time I set foot into the building that is now Nine Coliving. It was love at first sight. 🥰

One of my favourite coliving spots anywhere in the world. The house is great with each room having it's own style and personality. Yoga, breakfast, a nice place to work. What more do you need? :)

★★☆☆☆
Unfortunately, I can second the feedback about a strange group dynamic. In my case, it was rather enhanced by some of the female volunteers - having built such a nuclear family with each other and with some long term guests, feeling themselves a bit too home-y and not leaving space for new people to unfold and find their own dynamic. As a paying guest you shouldn’t feel excluded or talked about. To be fair, the owner wasn’t around at the time. Maybe she manages the coliving/coworking differently. I really wanted to like it - the house, the idea, the location have a lot of potential - but secretly I was happy when it was time to leave.

Es ist ein wunderschönes, gigantisches Haus mit tollen Zimmern, einer grossen Küche, tolle Dachterrasse und im Herzen von La Orotava. Tagsüber ist das Haus ruhig, da viele arbeiten. Am Abend trifft man sich und isst oder unternimmt Sachen zusammen wie das Skills Sharing oder Familydinner. Am Wochenende gibt es oft gemeinsame Aktivitäten. Es war eine tolle Erfahrung für mich, danke!

This year, I joined Nine the third time in as many years. I was delighted to see Anne and her team again, to bump into several guests from previous years and to meet new nomads, both hard core nomads and novices. It felt like homecoming!
It has been great to see that the host team has remained stable over the years and many guests are returning. Anne has done a great maintenance job in the house during summer and continues to invest in improvements.
As every year, the composition of guests was different. This year, on average a little younger then previously, with a notable absence of guests from Central Europe and USA (sorry Elle), but quite a number of French, German and Dutch, but also a rare Spaniard. Therefore no Thanksgiving Family Dinner this year (;-().
I made reservations for next year. I need to catch up with Manon's 16 reappearences...

It’s been my second time in Nine Coliving ! Stayed 1 month in 2024, and this time almost 2 month and I’m already planing my next stay. I just love it! It’s a big house with so much soul, the hosts create a lovely community vibe including family dinners on Wednesday. Besides the amazing weekend activities like hiking or bbq, it’s also a great place to actually work! The two offices, and the desk in each room + screens allow a perfect work environment, and the sunny rooftop invited for a perfect tea break between on a meeting full day.
It’s your home away from home. I can highly recommend to visit Tenerife and nine Coliving.

Nine is something special. Located in a cute little town, the house itself has an authentic charm with its courtyard, intricate wooden balconies, wild garden and huge rooftop overlooking Teide and the ocean. The different coworking spaces within the house make it easy to choose your own space for focused working sessions. The community is lively and comes together for family lunches, dinners and other activities that are planned by the hosts and guests.
In this part of the island, there are many options for hiking and swimming around, just as there are to chill and eat amazing local food at the many Guachinches nearby. Renting a car or a bike, will make accessing all these places a lot easier than relying only on public transport.
Anne, thanks for creating this magical place and kudos to all the hosts and volunteers for maintaining the spirit of this beautiful community living. I'll be back for sure :)

An awesome experience staying at Nine! This was my first co-living and it certainly didn't disappoint:
- Huge, comfortable house with a really cool rooftop
- Good conditions for working remotely with multiple work areas and fast wifi
- Located in the center of a small charming town, close to cafes and restaurants
- A nice breakfast included every day
And, most importantly, amazing staff and other guests! So fun to get to know everyone, go on occasional excursions, and just hang out. I certainly hope to be back!

I can't speak highly enough about my time at Nine. Lovely building, stunning La Orotava, incredible island, and a great community of people from the staff to volunteers and guests. There is so much to do among the house with a lot of spacious preservationist character, the immediate surrounding area, and the entirety of North part of the island. The rooftop I consider the most prominent feature of the building. Working areas do the job.
Renting a car allows you to do whatever you want, whenever, a bit faster. Coming from the US make sure you get your international permit online - the EU requires this of many foreigners as of last year. That said, the bus (TITSA) works quite well in getting to many natural parts of the island as well as cute towns.
You will want to stay at least 3 weeks to do a bit of everything. Nine and the setting of Tenerife provides a lot of optionality and strong value. I would love to stay here again when I return.

I had never stayed in a co-living space before coming to Nine. But thanks to all the amazing reviews, I didn’t hesitate and booked three months right away. People around me wondered if that was a bit of a risk, what if it turned out to be a disappointing place? Well, I’m back home now, and I can tell you: every single day at Nine was great.
From the moment you walk into the house, you feel at home. That’s in large part thanks to the warm welcome from one of the hosts (Alberto, Rebecca, Fabio, Sylvia — you’re all amazing). But honestly, the house just has a great vibe overall. It’s spacious, full of light, clean, and really well laid out. The workspaces are neat and comfortable, although the sunny weather does tempt you to head up to the rooftop terrace instead.
During my stay, there were usually around 15 people in the house. That might sound like a lot, but I never once had to wait to cook, and the way the house is set up makes living together easy and natural. There are also plenty of fun activities organized, and there’s always someone up for dinner or something spontaneous. In just three months, I made friends for life and met so many lovely, inspiring, and unique people.
Nine is located in a charming little village, with the supermarket, gym, pool, and anything else you might need within walking distance. If you want to head to Puerto de la Cruz, you can walk (about 45 minutes to the sea), or take a taxi or bus and be at the beach in just 10 minutes.
Special thanks to Anne, the owner of Nine, for creating such a magical place. My three months flew by, and I’d book it again in a heartbeat. So if you’re in doubt about staying here, don’t be. You’re going to have an incredible time!

A very nice and lively coliving with beautiful people. Working was more convenient than I initially expected, because the coliving is so spacious that people scatter over the place. And besides working, the owner, hosts and volunteers are lovely.
It's not a good place if you prefer a quiet place which focuses on work. Because it's quite big and lively and the coliving doesn't have a place where it is easy to retract, apart from your bedroom, it can be intense some times.
Definitely recommend this place if you are looking for connection with other people in a lively town but still want to work properly.

Nine is a special place. The building is beautiful, it is an old building but kept super well.There is an amazing rooftop where you can see the sea and the island till Puerto.
The hosts and Anne are lovely people which make you feel home. They organise events every day (skill share, dinners ..) and in the week end (hikes, beaches, launches ...) and you need to schedule them carefully to not to have a social burn out :) Working is so stimulating because the work place is just the best and you are always surrounded by professionals people. All people I met were too nice and It was hard to leave Nine. I'll be back hopefully very soon <3

I spent two weeks at Nine, and if I had my time again, I would have stay for a month+. Nine is a co-live, yes - but it's a home, and it's a family, it's an experience of culture and connection and passion wrapped up in one. The space was highly recommended to me, so yes my expectations were high and my expectations were exceeded.
In my opinion, Nine gets to the core of what co-living is about. Which is experiencing a life that different from your own, I see this happening in three ways - it comes from experiencing culture, evolving as an individual in a new environment, and community engagement. Nine, facilitated experiences in all these areas.
I was touched by the warmth of the staff, the openness and (literal) open arms on my arrival. I felt so at home and so comfortable, this was not because I am adaptable, it is because every aspect of community and care has been considered.
Anne the owner, has been incredibly intentional with the space itself but also the energy that the space offers. The feeling of Nine is warmth. The staff, all of them, embody what Nine is about, they all make an effort to get to you know. They all ask questions, and they all bring their own unique aspects and are the perfect blend of professional/supportive/friendly.
As a young female travelling on my own, it's really important for me to feel safe and supported where ever I go, and I felt very held in this environment. The staff even helped me figure out how to pay a fine (that I couldn't read in Spanish), in places like this, it's so often the small moments of care, that speak wonders.
Nine are pioneers in the Co-living world, if you haven't already, it's one to add to the bucket list.
Things that will stay with me:
- I adored the family dinners, these were a highlight of my time (as were the lunches and days out!).
- My room was magic, I was in the Mimi room, its colourful and spacious and close to the kitchen so was perfect for early morning teas!
- I cannot explain how special the work space is, I was SOO productive, despite also being so social, because I felt so inspired to work and write by the beautiful windows.
- I'm a sucker for organisation so I loved the systems of Nine, the individual boxes in the kitchen, how payments are none, the very informative slack channel ect.
All I can say is I am forever grateful for this experience and I hope the world gets to experience the magic of Nine.

It was my first co-living experience and I enjoyed every single day to the fullest. The hosts are amazing, the rooms very clean and with love to the details. The schedule during the week allows you to attend lunch yoga classes on the roof, beachwalks, playing Beachvolleyball or enjoy family dinner with everyone. The area itself is colorful, on a hill, with a beautiful view. If you have a shorter stay you might want to think about a rental car - so you are flexibel enough to visit the national parks or beaches. Looking forward to come back soon :) thank you!

I'd like to share my personal opinion about Nine’s Coliving in Tenerife/La Orotava.
The coliving space is located in an old Spanish house in the charming town La Orotava. The house capacity is around 16 guests, is spacious enough to avoid feeling overwhelmed. It has comfy rooms as well as many common areas. The hosts are super kind, friendly and organized, arranging community-building activities and making an effort to please everyone.
Pros:
- Beautiful house
- Well-organized workspaces (desks, chairs, monitors, noise canceling booths)
- Large and well-equipped kitchen
- Terrace with a lovely city panorama especially for sunset
- Delicious breakfasts and lunches
- Close to the Mercadona supermarket
- Yoga room with necessary equipment
Cons:
- guests know each other well from previous visits what makes it difficult to integrate, I think it really helps when you are staying longer than 2weeks, because only around 2 weeks I felt more comfortable and relaxed
- The town's cool climate might not suit those seeking constant sunny weather
- Without a car, reaching places like the beach (1 hour by foot) or hiking trails takes time via public transport. But also in that case hosts were helping to arrange something or plan weekend hikes
Thank you Anne, Silvia, Brigi and Rebeca 🫶

63 days in this paradise. I stayed in the dorm, constantly meeting new and exciting roomies while roaming this magnificent house where every room brought a new adventure. I spent tons of time in the kitchen, baking and general making mischief. The roof terrace is a playful paradise, and where you'll find Anne's incredible shala which, as well as being the perfect place for yoga, pilates, and meditation, played host to some spectacular movie nights.
From the family dinners, to the Friday early-morning coastal walks; from the pleasing half-hour stomp to the Lidl, to the gorgeous shops and bars of La Orotava - this place really has it all.
Special shout out to Anne's breathtaking team - Silvia, Rebeca, and cheesecake queen and PT punisher Brigi.
You know when you've found something special. This is it. Nine's ruined all other coliving spaces for me.
This. Is. The. Place.

Ich habe zum ersten Mal ein Coliving/ Coworking gebucht als ich mich für Nine entscheiden habe und ich bin jetzt infiziert. Das Haus ist toll mit einer wahnsinnigen Aussicht von der Dachterrasse und Anne schafft es als Host wirklich eine Community herzustellen. Brigi ist die Königin des Frühstücks und zaubert bereits morgens mit ihren leckeren Omelettes ein Lächeln aufs Gesicht. Rebecca versprüht ihre südamerikanische Lebensfreude und Silvia bringt Wärme in jede Unterhaltung. Einfach ein Ort zum Wohlfühlen, Arbeiten, Entspannen und definitiv zum Wiederkommen.

It's hard to compare to other Tenerife colivings (where I hasn't been) but Nine is definitely feels like 'hard to imagine better'.
The main thing what people do here is working as nomads, though there is plenty of other activities available - lunches/cooking, yoga, workouts, presentations, or just simple hanging out on the kitchen area drinking wine and chatting. Additionally folks often travel around for hikes or to the see

Nine is in a beautiful little neighborhood called Orotava. Plenty of restaurants, cafes and grocery shopping close by. I wish the beach was somehow closer so staying here without a car required some coordination to get to Tenerife's best beaches. The hosts at Nine are always available to help, coordinate fun activities or make recommendations! The communal spaces here are top notch: incredible kitchen, stunning views from the rooftop and all kinds of little nooks to get some private time. I stayed in a private room which I think could be improved with more aesthetic touches, decor and quality bedding to really make it worth the value. The owner has been intentional about building community around both social and physical activities like communal meals and daily yoga. Every coliving has a different intent so for me I was wanting more professional and personal development along with local community impact. Not to say the coliving was inferior or bad because of these things, just a different intent.

Been traveling for a couple of years and out of all the colives I've stayed in - Nine is easily the best experience. Anne is actually an angel among us, and would give you the shirt off her back (she actually did for me). The space is gorgeous, well maintained, and conveniently located in La Orotova. You can really feel all the loving efforts put into this spot.
Silvia, Rebecca and Brigi all go out of their way to give the best recommendations for activities, and bring such a fun energy to the house. I was never short on information or things to do on the island. Can't say enough positive things about Nine. I will definitely be back.Thanks for such a wonderful time!!

Most amazing coliving I have been so far !
Anne (the owner) has done such a great job, the house is incredible, coworking space is perfect to work, hosts are super welcoming, big shout out for Silvia, Anastasia, Constance, Rebecca! Everything is well organized, so you can join to different social events or just go for a hike !
The guests are super friendly, feels like we are in the same page, for most of the topics, but seems like we will never agree on the difference between a hike and a walk.
I have stayed 2,5 months, I could easily spend much more time, I highly recommend to at least stay 1 month to enjoy the full experience !

I stayed at Nine right after the renovation in January 2023 and loved every aspect of it! The newly renovated kitchen, the spacious rooms, the yoga sessions on the roof top, the delicious breakfasts & family dinners, the amazing hosts and commuity, the beautiful island and the good weather! Everyone was so welcoming & friendly and even though I had a really busy work schedule throughout my stay, I felt as relaxed as if I had spend two weeks of vacation on Tenerife. Big thanx to everyone at Nine for making my stay an exceptional experience! I am looking forward to meet you all again soon! ❤️

Anne and the team at Nine have created something really special and unique. The house itself is amazing and full of character. The amenities - kitchen (recently remodelled), bedrooms and workspaces are all fitted out to a very high standard. The rooftop, where daily yoga is held, is a great space to hang out and drink in the beautiful views over the historic centre of La Orotava. But what really makes Nine stand out is the people, both the team that works there and the amazing people you meet while staying at Nine. There are regular family dinners, lunches and BBQ’s organised. There are also other organised events like hiking (which is amazing in this part of Tenerife), kayaking and live gigs. I made some good friends at Nine and I was sorry to leave. It was my first co-living experience but definitely won’t be my last.

I always recommend Nine Coliving to others as it is the best coliving I have stayed at during my 5-year nomadic journey. One of the standout features of Nine is the fantastic community of people who live there.
Another great aspect of Nine is the historical building in which it is located. It is a joy to wake up every morning in such a beautiful and unique space. The house is located in the charming town of La Orotava, a perfect location for exploring the beautiful, green North of the island.
One of my favorite parts of Nine was the spacious rooftop space, which offered breathtaking views of the surrounding area and was a great place to relax and unwind after a long day. There was recently a renovation of the house, which included the addition of a brand-new kitchen. This will be an amazing addition for hosting cooking gatherings and dinners with the community. (Sharing great meals together was always part of the community life at Nine, only now the experience got an even better upgrade! 🙌)
Overall, I highly recommend Nine Coliving to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable coliving experience.

Nine has been my first coliving, but definitely not my last. I've stayed there for a week, and it's been one of the best weeks of my life. The community of Nine makes every day special.
During your working hours, you can focus in silence or go to more social rooms.
I am a Product Manager, and I spend most of my workday in calls, thus one of my worries was not being able to find a place for calls. However, there are plenty of spaces, even two phone booths which are free most of the day. Moreover, you have a table in your room.
Special kudos to the volunteers/employers of Nine, as they are the ones making this place an amazing coliving. There are always spontaneous plans every evening, so you can socialise as much as you like.
I'll come back!

I booked for one week at Nine to join my friend who was staying there ... I loved it so much that I extended my stay while I was there!
Anne, one of the owners, and the hosts Anna, Marilia and Constanze, as well as my fellow co-livers and the volunteers, made my time there so wonderful, welcoming and adventurous! I enjoyed everything from the rooftop yoga, to a morning walk and ocean swim, to pizza and movie night in the courtyard, stargazing up Mount Teide, nights out and relaxed evenings in. Although I was also there to work during the weekdays it felt like a vacation! There is always something fun to join in with but equally if you want some down time or just aren't into an activity you are never made to feel bad for that.
The sense of community is really special. I felt like everyone that was staying there contributed to the overall vibe in their own ways and were all so interesting and friendly. Any social anxiety I had was fairly quickly dispersed with such a lovely bunch of people :)
The rooms are clean, the spaces for working are lovely, the social areas are also very nice to hang out in, and the location in La Orotava is perfect. Everything you could need on your doorstep and only a short drive to beaches and a bigger town.
Most importantly I felt like my stay gave me a little lift in my soul and body. I came home feeling like I wanted to carry on this sociable and mindful experience, which I really needed.
Thanks again to the Nine team for a fantastic experience. I hope to be back next year! x

Tenerife is amazing and you have a lot to do if you like nature! The atmosphere is warm in the house and you have the opportunity to create and to build friendships there because the structure of the house facilitates several moments together (in addition to the fact that a lot of activities are organized from Nine!)

I really struggled with what stars to give for this review, as the owner and community managers at nine delivered on everything they promised.
However, a lot of the time, I felt I didn't really fit in at nine and have to admit to feeling relieved when my 3-week stay came to an end.
While there were real highlights (Eurovision on the rooftop, the impromptu lunchtime dancing session suggested, baraquito in the square and the brilliant community day), other times I struggled with just not feeling part of a community.
In terms of what nine promises to deliver: big variety of events, daily yoga, stunning setting, delicious healthy breakfasts, a clean, well organised space with lots of activity and variety - all 100%.
If it were just on what nine provides, I would give 5 stars.
In terms of my actual enjoyment of the experience, for most of the time, I'd probably give a 2.5 or 3 out of 5.
Having now stayed in numerous co-living spaces, one thing that co-live owners and hosts can attempt to influence, but in reality never control, are group dynamics.
While no one was remotely horrible to me, I found a strange dynamic.
One night you'd have a fantastic deep conversation with a fellow co-liver, the next day they'd walk past you in the hall and barely acknowledge you.
There were lots of other 'micro' incidents. For example, being kindly offered a lift to the beach by 3 co-livers and spending the day there with them, but then not being included in the conversation.
Maybe it was to do with the fact that quite a few of the co-livers had been there a while and done other co-livings and/or stays at nine together. Maybe not.
Perhaps it was me(!), although I did involve myself in a lot of events and made the effort to mingle and talk to everyone.
Out of all of the co-living experiences, I've done (which have now been many in the past few months), I've felt part of the community pretty much from the get go. Sadly not at nine.
The reason I'm writing this review is, after much reflection, to give balance and honesty.
Perhaps others that go to nine feel the way I do, but because Ann and the community managers are lovely and do all they can, they give five star reviews, or don't review at all.
I don't believe there's any constructive feedback I can give to nine to improve the experience from what they're already doing.
It's purely to do with the dynamics you encounter at the time.
Just wanted to present a balanced view.
On more mundane matters: I had a very spacious en suite room, although it was a bit damp. The wifi worked very well in the office. It didn't work well in my bedroom, but Ann sorted that. The location was the absolutely beautiful town of La Oratava, which I loved. It was often shrouded in cloud, so if you want non-stop beating down sun, South Tenerife would probably be a better fit. The daily breakfasts were healthy and plentiful. I liked nine's commitment to sustainability.

Home away from home - this is what NINE became to me! If you are looking for a vibrant community, comfortable co-working, cosy evenings, daily yoga with stunning views, yummy breakfasts, proximity to the ocean and the mountains, make sure you book your room asap as NINE has become the place to be for many digital nomads and it fills up quickly!

The place is so great that it's really hard to write a review. Usually fully booked, so if you found a free room/dates, just book it!

The best coliving I've stayed at so far! Anne (together with hosts and volunteers) created a unique place, with amazing people. The moment you arrive, you feel like at home. You feel welcomed and taken care of. The house has a soul, and you immediately fall in love with it. It is located in a beautiful historical city of La Orotava, with a view to Teide volcano. Perfect place to work remotely and enjoy free time (hikes, beaches) after work. Words cannot describe how much I recommend Nine!

I made my first co-living experience at Nine and before I wasn't sure if it's something for me, especially for 4 weeks (the length of my stay). But the Nine felt like home!
Nine keeps the perfect balance of working and living atmosphere by having enough places to either work with other people together or for yourself when you have important calls. Also the rooms are very comfortable and clean. The team around Nine are incredibly friendly and helpful and really organized a lot to make you feel comfortable.
It was a pleasure to be part of the Nine family and it definitely won't be the last time. Next time also definitely again for at least 4 weeks.

A lovely place to live and work while making friends from all over who surprisingly want to always do the same things as you (hike, beach, restaurant, sunset, sunrise, yoga, dance, sing).
Thank you for the hospitality, team xo

Nine is a really special place where not only you get comfortable rooms and beds, delicious healthy food and great coworking space and conditions, but also you feel at home since day one! The community there is so warm that it makes you not want to leave ever! :) 200% recommended!

What a beautiful special place nine is! I spent nearly two weeks at Nine in June. It’s not a co-living but a home and welcoming community full of special people. Anne has thought through every little detail. There are always lots of activities (yoga on the roof, hiking, etc) and skills share taking place so you never get bored. The breakfasts and communal dinners are delicious, the rooms beautifully decorated, and the house is just stunning. You’ll easily meet people and make friends here and are in one of the most scenic and chill towns in Tenerife. Anne is super friendly and flexible, always open to feedback and ideas and just an overall lovely person. She genuinely cares. Thanks so much for this beautiful experience. I’ll be back!

Nine Coliving is absolutely number one in vibrant digital nomad community accommodation. Placed in the little town of La Orotava in an old Spanish hacienda, includes plenty of space for work, play, and socializing. I've stayed here since September 2020 and until April 2021 and enjoyed every single day. Yoga classes, delicious meals, and plenty of activities are just extras to the fascinating mix of international folks who are coming here for two weeks but end up staying for months!
If you can't find a vacancy right away, be patient and reach out to Anne and her wonderful hosts, who are running Nine. You'll be delighted by the quality that Nine Coliving offers!

One of the most magical places I've been to. It was such a nice experience, meeting new and interesting people and getting to know the island in such a deep level that nothing can really compare to it. The attention to detail by the hosts is superb and you really can tell that they take good care of the place and of you.

If you are looking for a nice coworking with an oustanding community, this is the place to be. The mension is in the heart of Orotava, nice village in North of Tenerife. Anne the owner and Sylvia, will give you a warm welcome and help you with everything. All the beautiful activities organized aside (yoga, meditation, familiy dinners) are well organized and will empower you more and more. So this is really the place to be, you just live your heart in this beautiful rooftop terrace and dream of coming back pretty soon! XX Daniela from Paris

I spent 5 weeks at Nine in the beautiful La Orotava town but they flied away like hours. I can speak a lot about the beautiful building, amenities, nice town, great weather but the truth is the main thing of Nine are the people who makes it home. From day 1 you feel like a part of a big and beautiful family. Really, for anyone, from a real digital nomad with a lot of traveling under his/her belt to the first time remote worker who would like to try a taste of a co-living experience. I'll be back soon Nine :)

I spent 4 weeks in Nine, it was my first time in a coliving environment. It was everything I hoped for. Fantastic coworking environment, I am a software Engineer, it has everything you need to work, from big monitors to stand-up desks. People living there are super friendly. Within a couple days I was already making plans with them. The views from the rooftop are breathtaking. They offer yummy breakfast to feed your body, and daily yoga to feed your soul :).

I spent 2 weeks there in december 2020/january 2021. Nine was my first experience of co-living and I adored it. The house is gorgeous. Extremely large compared to the number of people living there and with some warm places to meet the community like the rooftop, the dining room and .... the kitchen ;)
This place attracts amazing people, and with all the group hikes, meals, BBQs and yoga co-ordinated by Anne, I was never short of company. The workspace is enjoyable. My room was very nice the shared bathrooms as well. Everything is well organized and clean.
Anne and Silvia the hosts are very nice and they organize many different activities through the week.
Last but not least the island of Tenerife is magnificent.
I hope I will come back soon.

Nine is an incredible coliving with a really welcoming and relaxed community feel created by Anne. The house is amazing to spend time in, so much space, the best workspace and fantastic internet.

I have been back three times already and am already looking forward to my next trip back to this home away from home xx

Amazing co-living home. We spent 4 months here during Corona "lockdown" and couldn't have found a better place for that. Great community, awesome house, comfy rooms, great co-work, daily yoga, weekly bbq and LARA 🐕. And then all the incredible surroundings this island has to offer. It's a really dreamy place. Thanks Anne for everything - we'll be back!

I spent a week at Nine (which was too short) in October (my second visit).
- The house... is just comfortable and inviting. Get yourself to the roof and enjoy the view during morning yoga, at their weekly BBQ for sunset, or really at any time.
- The area... is a dream. Mostly great weather and you can easily be by the beach all day and hiking a volcano later in the afternoon.
- The people... are some of the warmest and inviting that you'll meet. Anne, Katia, and the rest of the staff are super chill and inclusive in the many activities that they just do and they seem to attract people that feel the same way.
When I travel I try to go to new places, but somehow have ended up here twice and can't wait to go back. See you soon!

My stay at nine Co living was very satisfying. I had a nice welcome thanks to Anne her hospitality and probably also by her lovely dog I think we became friends. What I like about the place is that I could unwind in my own space or connect with other interesting people if I felt like it. I recommend Morning Yoga sessions on the roof to spark up your day. Before I forget the house is clean, tidy and very spacious. I fell in love with the stairs.. They're are huge! !

I had the most amazing stay at Nine, and cannot wait to come back. Anne is a brilliant host, and works super hard to make sure everyone feels at home from the minute they step through the door. The coliving is a really good size so there's always an activity going on or someone to join for a trip to the beach or mountains, without it feeling too big or crowded in the work area. The location is also perfect - away from the touristy crowds on the South of the island, but with really good bus transport links, cheap car hire and the beach a 5 minute drive away. Plus you get to stay in an old manor house with it's own roof terrace and garden, but with all the benefits of modern, beautiful rooms and fast WiFi. I could go on forever, but you should just go and experience it for yourself. You won't regret it!

Nine was my first experience of co-living and I absolutely adored it. I originally came for 5 weeks in Nov-18 but extended until the end of Mar-19 staying for almost 18 weeks! If that doesn't show you how amazing this place is, let me explain the things that I think make Nine special :)
*Community: As a new Digital Nomad, I was concerned I was going to feel lonely while travelling. The day I arrived at Nine I was immediately reassured. This place attracts amazing people, and with all the group hikes, meals, BBQs and yoga co-ordinated by Anne, I was never short of company.
*Location: Nine is located right in the middle of La Oratava's old town. The view of the historic buildings from the rooftop is amazing and the town has an authentic feel as there are very few tourists. There is a supermarket and Cross-fit 5 minutes walk away. What else do you even need? On top of this, being located in the North of Tenerife, there were so many hikes and activities nearby to do. I really think North Tenerife is an un-tapped travel destination worth discovering.
*Workspace: There is a unique energy to the workspace at Nine that lends itself well to productivity and making money :) I can safely assure you that this is regardless of who is there since I stayed for 4 months and through many groups and the energy always remained. I think it is the combination of comfy, well-equipped desks combined with lots of natural light, through the large windows that create such a healthy work environment.
*House & Rooms: My bedroom felt immediately homey, with everything I could need while living there for over 4 months! As I mentioned earlier the community is everything, but the house is so big that it is never a challenge to find your own space outside of your bedroom. There is a huge rooftop that is perfect for sunshine working, a beautiful garden ideal for creative drawing and on a rainy day you can curl up on the sofa in the livingroom with your laptop and a cup of tea. Perfection.
*Hosts: Above everything else my favourite thing about Nine are the hosts, Anne and Lara (the dog). Anne goes above and beyond for all of her guests, and is the reason the people here begin to feel like family. Lara is the most delightful, easy-going yet energetic dog I have met and she seems to naturally adapt to every different guest. It's incredible. I will miss them so much, but know that I will definitely be back to visit again soon!
Thanks again for such an amazing experience.
I cannot recommend this place enough.

Spent a week at Nine and loved it! With indoor and outdoor spaces, patios, garden, pond, rooftop space for bbq and daily yoga, a huge living room with sunny yellow walls with giant ceilings, and a two-room coworking soacw with third meeting / callspace, Nine is amazing. Anne is an incredible host, and there are plenty of things to do in the area, from surf lessons, on-site massage, hikes to the volcano, biking and kayaking trips, and even a hammock to curl up in and read (if you find the time!).
I loved the cozy Spanish home, paired with modern furniture. The outdoor spaces are incredible! Oh and the weekly Thursday night dinners, Sunday barbecues, and daily yoga?
Can’t wait to go back! The town of La Orotava is relaxed and sleepy, but everything on the island is easy to access for day trips. The hospitality and view can’t be beat.

Home away from Home...
Nine was our first coliving experience and the only thing I can say is that this place is now one of our favorite places in the world!
We initially planed to stay 5 weeks... we ended up staying more than 14 :) I guess this says a lot about the place and the vibe it has; it's simply a place that you never want to leave.
What defines it?
1. people! A mix and match of nationalities, generations that simply works. We met so many inspiring and passionate people. We're leaving nine with many new contacts but mostly, many new very valuable friendships.
2. A perfect work space: quiet space, conference room, comfy chairs, ultra fast wifi and a breathtaking view.
3. Food! Weekly BBQ on the roof, the amazing included breakfast and the numerous spontaneous shared dinners. We hiked a lot on Tenerife, joined the yoga and workout session but somehow did not manage to loose any weight there... haha
4. Tenerife! The island is sometimes quite sadly only known for its very touristic south coast. Coming to Nine and the beautiful town of la Orotava is a total contrast! It's a paradise for nature lovers and hike entousiasts
5. People: Yes I said this already, but really this is the main reason that makes most people extend their inital stay. A big part is also played by Anne, the owner. A passionate, friendly and always smiling owner who will make anyone feel like at home within minutes. Oh and of course, one should not forget Lara! The house dog, princess of the workspace... she likes chilling in the sun like a lizard (but also chases them) and she's always up for a cuddle session or a good hike.
If you are reading this review and considering staying at Nine, I can only encourage you to do so... My best advice? Make sure not to book you return flight yet, because you might want to extend ;)
We'll be back, that's for sure!

I will never forget any of my trips to the Canary Islands, especially Tenerife. And on this trip Nine Coliving contributed that: Great big house, wonderful rooftop, well-equipped rooms, breakfast service, a sweet dog, fast internet. But what makes community life unique? - That's the people and the shared experiences/activities. It is not just coliving and working, it is a community who organises Tapas nights, cooking, hiking, yoga, and more. I will do some homework now and then we will meet again. Thanks to Anne, Lara and everyone who shared time.

Perfect Co-living and Co-working space for staying in Tenerife (or Europe):
Location: close to the beach and mountains; a short stroll to everything the town has to offer; and also an excellent base for exploring Tenerife.
The Space: Well equipped, spacious and clean - everything you would need for a short or long stay in Tenerife. The Co-working spaces are excellently designed, giving you a sense of both freedom and comfort.
The Hosts: Accommodating and full of knowledge about what to do and see on the Island. They also curate fun outdoor activities and events to help you unwind, explore and socialise.
Will stay again, and highly recommend.

Nine was the first experience we had in a coliving and it stole our hearts and completely made ourexperience in Tenerife! It's so tempting to extend your stay (like 80% of the people there did) or to come back (like I we are definitely doing). 😅😍
.
Perfect Location - In the heart of La Oratava, a beautiful and cute Village in Tenerife, far from the crowd, with a view over the ocean with the volcano on the back. 😍
.
The space itself is in a beautiful and historical building that was recovered. The rooms are cozy and comfortable. Amazing work spaces with fast Wi-Fi. The outdoors are great: Epic roof-top and a wide garden with space to work-out or hammocks to relax. The amount of people is also great, there is always people available for activities but you won't struggle in finding your own space to work or chill. 👌
.
Anne, the owner, is incredible, always willing to help and to make your stay as good as possible! So thank you for making ours so good 😍🙏
