Why did you decide to open?
We opened La Cocotera because we wanted to create the kind of place we ourselves were searching for: a space that felt like home, where people could live, work, and connect in an authentic way.
Back in 2014, the concept of digital nomadism and coworking was still new in Spain. But we saw the potential: Tarifa had the perfect blend of nature, energy, and inspiration. We imagined a place where people from all over the world could slow down, share stories, and build community, not just pass through.
La Cocotera grew from that vision. More than a hostel or a coworking space, we see it as a living project shaped by the people who stay, the conversations that happen on the terrace, and the magic of Tarifa itself.
How do you manage the community?
We create the conditions for people to connect naturally. We give space for everyone to be themselves, while also setting the tone for respect, collaboration, and care.
We’re always around not just as hosts, but as part of the community too. We listen, we introduce people to each other, we encourage co-creation. Sometimes that means organizing events, and sometimes it’s as simple as making sure someone new doesn’t eat lunch alone on their first day.
Over the years, we’ve learned that the strongest communities grow from real human connections, not fixed schedules or rules. So we focus more on presence and intention than structure and that seems to be what people remember most.
