Tenerife, Spain
Year-round sun, a volcano and the ocean, an EU base at African latitude with affordable premium prices.
Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, offers a rare paradox: you are in the EU, in euros, with Europe's safety, but at the latitude of the Sahara. The result: near-permanent sun, 20 to 26 degrees all year. The island combines a spectacular volcano (Teide, Spain's highest peak), black and golden sand beaches, a well-established nomad scene and excellent connectivity to Europe.
The EU with permanent summer weather
You keep every European advantage: euro currency, roaming included, frictionless bills and banking, same time zone as London. But you swap grey winter for eternal spring. For a European founder who wants to escape the gloom without leaving the administrative comfort zone, Tenerife is unbeatable.
The Canaries also enjoy a specific tax regime and a growing reputation among entrepreneurs, which draws an ever-wider international community.
Volcano, ocean and Martian landscapes
Hiking Teide and its lunar landscapes above the clouds, whale and dolphin watching year-round, surfing, diving, and colorful villages like Garachico. In a 40-minute drive you go from beach to snow-capped summit.
Connected and built to work
Solid fiber, established coworkings and a seasoned nomad scene make Tenerife a place where you are operational from day one. The DaHouse villa adds a private chef and dedicated coworking. Budget-wise, a good meal runs around 12 euros: premium without the mainland bill.
