about us

The story

Bienvenidos and Welcome to Amarilla- Community, Coliving, Coworking.

The heart of Amarilla is an eclectic team that all share the same infatuation for Tenerife and the Canary Islands; who strive to make sure everyone who visits ends up feeling the same way. The Amarilla team is built upon ensuring that guests experience everything the island has to offer, in addition to nurturing the growing digital nomad community on the island by making sure all of the Coliving and Coworking aspects are met.

Amarilla is more than just a Coliving and Coworking solution for Digital Nomads in the South of Tenerife. If you’re looking for a change of scenery and the chance to work and live on an island known for its “eternal spring” year-round climate, then this is the place for you. Amarilla is a Community for like-minded people, where friends are made and experiences are had. And of course, work is done. (That is, when you’re not eating paella or surfing.)

As the Amarilla motto goes: “If you are staying with us, working with us, hanging out with us, or all three- we still want to get to know you.”

Exclusive packages are available for yoga and surf classes, as well as discounted excursion trips- whether it’s whale watching or hiking up Teide, the highest peak in Spain. Plus, there is plenty of chance to mingle with other guests at our social meet-ups and workshops. If there’s anything you’d want to try while on the island that isn’t listed, let us know.

Founder

Marina grew up in the South of Tenerife. Having parents from different cultures allowed her to experience both the Canarian culture of her father and the Irish culture of her mother – along with the array of nationalities and communities spread throughout the Canary Islands.

After graduating from High School she left the island to study and work abroad. She has lived in: Spain, Ireland, Germany, Ethiopia, Hong Kong, Jordan, France, the USA, and Bali. However, she found herself being drawn back to the place where she grew up in. Marina would invite friends to visit her home with them and when showing off the island, felt an immense sense of pride and adoration for the place.

Tenerife is an island that boasts as much culture and history as it does experiences and activities. For such a small place in a seemingly random part of the world, it has something for everyone.

Not long after, she would relocate to Tenerife, after spending years travelling the world Marina realised that the island is incomparable to anywhere else she has lived. There really is no place like home.

Yoga team

Vita’s yoga studio isn’t inside a stuffy air-conditioned room filled with mirrors. Instead, it’s the beach.

Having spent ten years in India learning everything there is to know about yoga, Vita teaches various styles of the practice, it’s up to you which one to try. However, we cannot recommend enough experiencing starting the day with a yoga session by the sea.
