Rooral

Truly loved this place! The host built something special, and even five months later, I still think back with a smile on my face and a warm heart. So what makes this special? We stayed in the Zahara house, which is a very cozy place with a good kitchen and a lovely rooftop terrace with amazing views (imagine waking up with that view doing your morning yoga). Don't expect 5-star quality, but expect village charm. The village is situated in beautiful green hills all around, with amazing (afternoon sunset) hikes. The village itself has just enough to offer: a bar for Friday afternoon, a place to practice Spanish, a supermarket/butchery/fishvan for groceries, and lots of cats roaming around. The people coming to the coliving are divers, but like-minded in love for connection, slow living, and good conversations. We have been to more colivings, but this one stands out!

As someone who spends a lot of time thinking about performance and decision-making, I didn’t expect a small village to have such a strong impact on my clarity and productivity.

What makes this coliving unique is the combination of 3 things that are hard to find together:

→ Deep focus (you actually get meaningful work done)
→ Real human connection (not forced networking, but genuine relationships)
→ A slower, more intentional pace of life

In Benarrabá, you’re not just staying in a place, you become part of the village. That changes everything. It resets your attention and creates space to think better and to build genuine relationships with the remote workers and with the locals.

The coworking setup is solid, the environment is inspiring, but honestly, that’s not even the main point.

The real value is what happens in between work sessions: conversations, walks, shared meals, and the subtle shift in how you relate to your work and yourself.

This coliving represents something bigger than just a space. It’s part of a movement towards more meaningful work and a more balanced way of living.

If you’re looking for more than just a place with WiFi, if you want perspective, clarity, and focus, you won’t regret visiting and staying here.

Fantastic community!
I had a great experience at a coliving in Benarrabá. The combination of coliving and coworking works really well, with a clear focus on both quality of life and connection.

The surroundings are truly beautiful and peaceful, creating a unique atmosphere that makes it easy to slow down and enjoy daily life. Being surrounded by nature adds something special that you don’t often find in typical coliving spaces.

What really stands out is the strong sense of community. It’s easy to connect with like-minded people, and there’s a natural balance between social time and personal space. The whole experience feels authentic, welcoming, and genuinely inspiring.

Overall, a place I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to combine work, nature, and a meaningful community.

What a great gift it was to go to , what a great gift it was to meet the people of Benarraba, and what a great gift it was to share a home with such beautiful people. I went looking for connection and peace, and I found both, which is not something very common in this world. Thank you, Benarraba; let's return to the towns!!

I came to the coliving while filming a documentary about the community, and it was my first real experience living in a place like this. To be honest, community living had never particularly appealed to me before. Communities can sometimes feel complex, hierarchical, or even restrictive.

But the coliving felt different.

Over time, something shifted. By the time I left, I genuinely felt part of the community—and I didn’t really want to leave. I had made many friends, started getting to know the locals, and began to appreciate their way of simply being and making the most of every moment.

What struck me most was the openness of the people there. As a local says, they don’t really care what you do—whether you’re an artist, a programmer, or anything else. They simply accept that you are you. That’s the starting point, and the rest is up to you.

It’s a rare and refreshing atmosphere, and one that stayed with me long after I left.

is a best practice example when it comes to community, coliving, and especially the local impact.When you are there, you truly become part of the local rhythm. has managed to build a bridge to a local pueblo that welcomes colivers with open arms.I loved getting to know the local festivities, visiting Paco and his goats, talking to the mayor about his vision, and playing padel with the grandmothers.I will be back for sure. Gracias :)

I had such a special experience at the coliving community. From the moment I arrived, it didn’t feel like “just another coworking space”; it felt like stepping into a curated ecosystem of ambitious, open-minded people who genuinely want to connect and grow.The balance between productivity and lifestyle is what really stood out to me. The work environment is focused and professional, but there’s also space for spontaneous conversations, shared dinners, deep talks, and creative collaborations. It’s rare to find a place where you can get serious work done during the day and still feel inspired and energized by the people around you.What makes the coliving even more unique is the connection to the local Spanish village. You’re not in a bubble; you’re part of the rhythm of the town. Morning coffees at the local café, friendly chats with the Spanish community, and the simple joy of being surrounded by authentic village life added so much depth to the experience.Being up in the mountains brings a kind of calm that’s hard to describe. It’s the kind of place you don’t really want to leave for the city anymore: the silence, the views, the slower pace just feel right. And at the same time, if you do feel like putting your feet in the sand or spending a day in the city, it’s easily within reach.What I appreciated most is the intentional community vibe. It attracts people who are entrepreneurial, international, and curious. Conversations go beyond small talk; you actually exchange ideas and perspectives.For me, the coliving was not just a place to work remotely in Spain; it was a reset. A reminder of how powerful environment is for creativity and clarity. I left feeling more focused, inspired, and connected.Highly recommend it to anyone who wants more than just a desk with Wifi.

The coliving is an unforgettable experience and a must for any digital nomad. The host has built something special here where community forms the heart of the project. You get the perfect balance of deep focus with comfortable workspaces during the day (and good WiFi) and authentic village life in Benarrabá by night where you can disconnect from the grind. I cannot recommend it enough if you want a meaningful, productive stay in Spain. The locals are so warm and welcoming, you’ll feel part of the Benarrabá family the moment you arrive.

The images speak for themselves. The best co-living experience I have had. It was my first and I recommend it 100%.

I had a wonderful experience at this coliving. This is my 11th coliving and one of my top 3. I loved experiencing life with the locals in this small Spanish mountain village. The managers were top-notch. Wonderful community.
