Location & Accessibility

Maraya offers a serene, rural setting that requires some planning for transportation. While walkable to a local supermarket (approx. 25 mins), accessing the best beaches, surf spots, and exploring the island is most convenient with a car. The community often organizes group trips and can assist with transport arrangements.

Public Transport

The nearest major airport is Tenerife South (TFS) or Tenerife North (TFN). Public buses connect Candelaria to other parts of the island, but services from the property itself are limited. Taxis and ride-sharing apps are available for airport transfers and local trips.

Car Considerations

A rental car is highly recommended for full freedom to explore Tenerife's north and south coasts, surf breaks, and hiking trails. On-site parking is available. The property can help arrange car rentals.

Walkability

The immediate neighborhood is walkable, with a local supermarket about a 25-minute walk away. For daily life without a car, you'll rely on taxis, the occasional bus, or organized group trips from the coliving. The terrain is hilly.

Key Distances

Approx. 25 min walk to local supermarket. 10-30 minute drive to various surf beaches and the coast. About 30-40 minute drive to Tenerife's major cities (Santa Cruz, La Laguna).

Challenges & Tips

The rural location means you are not in a city center. If you don't rent a car, budget for taxis or coordinate with the community for rides. The property often helps arrange airport pick-ups. Embrace the slower pace and use the coliving's activities to see the island with others.
