Coliving spaces in Tenerife • Nomadhut Bajamar • Tenerife North Airport travel guide
Am I the only coliving space owner recommending you come or leave here via somewhere else?
I rarely get to fly into Tenerife North as I travel mostly direct from London, so I come into Tenerife South with most of the general tourists, there’s a quick bus to Santa Cruz. however if you’re not on a deadline then I think Tenerife North via a mini break would be
Two Airports, One Lovely Choice
There are two perfectly fine airports on Tenerife.
Tenerife South is sunny, busy, friendly, efficient — the travel-world equivalent of a cheerful extrovert who’s already halfway to the beach before anyone else has found their sunscreen.
Tenerife North, meanwhile, is smaller and calmer — like a quieter friend who reads novels on purpose and inexplicably knows every good restaurant without ever claiming to go out.
Both airports work beautifully.
Both deliver you smoothly to the north coast.
But if you happen to route your journey through Tenerife North Airport (TFN), you unlock a delightful optional extra: a day or two in one of the cities that fly directly there.
And that little pause — that mini-break — can transform not just the journey, but the way you arrive at Nomadhut (or head home?). Full list of locations that fly direct to Tenerife South and North.
Where to Stop Over Before TFN (and Why It’s Wonderful)
Madrid: The Cinematic Prelude
A night in Madrid adds narrative weight to your journey.
Tapas at 11pm because “why not?” is now a reasonable philosophy.
A slow coffee in a tiled café.
A graceful stroll past the Prado pretending the morning light is part of a film you’re starring in.
By the time you board your TFN flight, you feel like the main character in a European drama — ready for your next act in Bajamar.
Barcelona: Creativity Boot-Up Sequence
Barcelona is the ideal pre-Nomadhut warm-up.
Gaudí as a creative multivitamin.
A few hours in El Born or Gràcia and your imagination begins quietly applauding itself.
Landing in Tenerife with a creative spark already lit is… well, exactly the point.
Málaga: The Soft Landing Before the Actual Landing
Málaga is a gentle slide into holiday mode.
Palm-lined boulevards.
Warm, golden plazas.
A castle with views that insist you stop hurrying.
Spend even 24 hours here and you step onto your Tenerife flight in a pleasantly serene haze — already half in “Bajamar mode.”
Bilbao or Valencia: The 48-Hour Cultural Refresh
Bilbao
Pintxos, riverside architecture, and a city that whispers,
“Go on, buy that sketchbook. You know you want to.”
Valencia
Paella, airy plazas, and futuristic buildings that make you think,
“Maybe I could start cycling again.”
Both cities give you a compact but powerful cultural reset — excellent prep for the ocean air of northern Tenerife.
Caracas, Venezuela: The Transatlantic Surprise
Here’s the wildcard: Caracas — one of the most unexpected and character-rich long-haul gateways into Tenerife North.
If you’re arriving from the Americas, spending a couple of days in Venezuela turns the journey into a full narrative: energetic, colourful, and culturally alive.
Caracas hums:
music from balconies, arepas on street corners, bold colour everywhere, El Ávila watching over the city like an ancient guardian.
And the connection to the Canary Islands runs deep — families, recipes, and stories have crossed this ocean for generations.
And Then… Bajamar
After your chosen stop-over — tapas, Gaudí, beaches, galleries, or a burst of Latin American vibrancy — you land at Tenerife North already unwound and open.
No decompression period required.
You arrive ready.
Ready for the ocean pools.
Ready for the slow mornings.
Ready for the high ceilings and creative energy of Bajamar.
Ready for Nomadhut — your coliving space for building, dreaming, thinking, and living well.
Why This Matters for Nomadhut
Nomadhut isn’t a “holiday stay.”
It’s a launchpad for remote workers, founders, makers, creatives — a place where people come to build momentum, community, and ideas.
When you arrive already expanded by the journey, you:
- collaborate more easily
- create more freely
- settle into island rhythm faster
- enjoy Bajamar more deeply
My gut feel is that those who arrive via a mindful stop-over land in a better headspace for everything that follows
Which Airport Should You Choose?
- Arriving via Tenerife South (TFS)?
Perfect — fast, sunny, smooth, easy. - Arriving via Tenerife North (TFN)?
Equally perfect — and offers the gift of a memorable stop-over if you want it.
Either way: you arrive as yourself.
Or better — you arrive a little more yourself.
