Pura Vida by Nest Hostel

Las Palmas (Guanarteme) | Gran Canaria

Wake up 60 seconds from Las Canteras 🌊

Pura Vida by Nest sits in Guanarteme, smack in the centre of Las Palmas and under 100 metres — a one-minute walk — from Playa de Las Canteras, one of the best city beaches in the world and a proper surf spot.

 

We’re right behind the main bus interchange, so the whole island is on your doorstep ☀️ — and you’re steps from the port if you’re rolling in by ferry. Bars, restaurants, the Las Arenas shopping centre and live music at Plaza de la Música are all a short stroll away.

 

Spread over three floors with two terraces and a rooftop coworking + chill zone 💻, it’s your base to surf, work, meet people and explore Gran Canaria at your own pace.
