Our coliving space is located in a charming white village in the mountains of Malaga. Founded on the values of respect for the rural world, we are dedicated to preserving the culture in villages at risk of depopulation.
We offer 3 rustic homes in the heart of the village, specially adapted for remote workers. With fully equipped kitchens and generous outdoor spaces, these houses are perfect for those who want to enjoy the slower pace and spaciousness of village life.
The coworking space is just a 30-second walk from each home and features 1GB symmetric internet, ergonomic equipment, meeting rooms, and beautiful views of the valley.
With no long commutes, you’ll have more time to enjoy the incredible nature surrounding the village, the village gym, the swimming pool, the padel court, the bars and restaurants serving local and artisanal food, and endless activities in the surrounding areas.

Community
We are building a community of professionals who have the flexibility to work remotely and value connection, balance, and a harmonious way of life.
Our mission is to create a supportive and inspiring environment where individuals can prioritize their wellbeing, connect deeply with nature, and form meaningful relationships with like-minded people.
Predominantly women, our members are well-traveled and eager to slow down and embrace a more relaxed pace of life, being curious about culture and traditions, decluttering, and connecting with the soul of humanity.
We aim to provide a multigenerational space that fosters a simpler, more fulfilling lifestyle in rural areas, bridging the gap between urban and rural living while preserving and revitalizing these beautiful communities.
Families and pets are welcomed too, providing a separate space but having access to the community and activities.

About Benarrabá
Our Coliving is located in Benarrabá, a charming tiny village in the province of Malaga, Andalusia.
Nestled in the scenic Genal Valley, Benarrabá is known for its picturesque setting, traditional white-washed houses, and narrow winding streets that showcase the rich architectural heritage influenced by the Moors and Romans.
The village offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and makes it a peaceful and idyllic place to work remotely and experience rural life. But it's not just the stunning scenery that sets Benarrabá apart—it's the warmth and hospitality of its people: if you are pueblo-less, Benarrabá will adopt you.
Whether it's mastering the art of basket weaving, crafting goat cheeses, or simply enjoying a local card game, Benarrabá offers a unique opportunity for immersive and values-based experiences, providing the perfect setting to slow down, connect deeply, and experience the true Andalusian lifestyle.
