The reasons for the success of Fuerteventura remote working

Welcome to Canarias! Welcome to Fuerteventura, the paradise for remote workers.

Since the start of the pandemia more and more employers are allowing their staff to work online from home, or from… anywhere. The lead to the creation of a new profile of young professionals: remote workers, also called digital nomads, or professional expats. 

In general, remote workers are highly qualified young professionals, usually without family obligations, and with an entrepreneurial spirit and an open mind. Obviously Fuerteventura, such as most other Canary Islands, welcomes remote workers with open arms. Let’s check out the Fuerteventura remote working scene!

The hotspots for remote working in Canary Islands

The Canary Islands are strongly positioning themselves as one of the preferred destinations for remote workers and expats. Especially on Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura, the community of remote workers is growing.

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is actually the most popular destination in the Canary Islands for remote workers, but also the expat communities at the beach villages of El Cotillo, Lajares and Corralejo in Northern Fuerteventura are growing rapidly!

It is all about the surf and the beaches!

Fuerteventura is known for its endless possibilities to practice water sports. You can go surfing, supping, kitesurfing, windsurfing, waterskiing, diving or even whale watching! There are currently over 40 surf schools on the island. The most reputed and famous one is Protest. The surf is indeed what makes remote workers flock to the island, and the driving engine behind the  Fuerteventura remote working scene.
