A rural coliving space in Tenerife, Canary Islands

Connect with rural life (nature+people)

Connect with nature and discover a more sustainable way of life! Located in the charming village of Los Silos on the north coast of the canarian island of Tenerife, our coliving offers you a unique experience in the heart of an exceptional natural setting.

The coliving is connected to a permaculture farm, a veritable haven for biodiversity and know-how. Here you have the opportunity to discover a way of living in harmony with the environment, to take part in exchanges and practical activities and to discover more about the local reality, a sustainable agriculture and the values of permaculture.

Recharge your batteries and get inspired to live differently!

Meet local actors

As a traveller would you want to meet the people who live in the place you visit, and spend time to talk to them to better understand local issues and traditions? La Libélula aims to be a place where travellers and local actors can meet and share ideas. Through workshops and small events, we aim to create links between local people and travellers.

Join us and become part of this network of people where everyone has something to contribute to the community!

Connect with a permaculture project

Behind the house you will find the Finca la Canopea permaculture project. Once a week, you’re invited to spend an enriching time together discovering the edible forest, the vanilla cultivation and the necessary actions to fight deforestation and bring a piece of land back to life.
Get involved, lend a hand and learn how permaculture can be concretely applied on this concrete project.

Seize your chance to become part of the change, here and now, through small, direct actions that are sure to have a positive impact on your vision and your life choices!

Enjoy a subtropical environment

Tenerife’s subtropical climate means mild, pleasant temperatures all year round, with temperatures rarely dropping below 12°C. This means you can enjoy outdoor activities, explore nature and relax in comfortable, conditions no matter the season. In addition, Tenerife offers a wide variety of unique vegetation, vibrant flowers and exotic fruits like bananas, avocados, and mangoes. If you’re a nature lover, the island is a paradise, offering everything from lush green forests to arid volcanic landscapes.

Come and discover the thousand wonders that grow on the island and enjoy a pleasant climate all year round!

“An unforgettable stay at La Libélula and without a doubt an essential stop to discover a unique rural coliving on the island of Tenerife. The permaculture finca next door is unique for its vanilla cultivation and its edible forest.
Here, no monoculture and no chemicals. A very inspiring vision that leads us to reflect a lot on our current model. Thanks to Béné and Pascal for sharing their project and their commitment to nature.”

About Us

Béné and Pascal, your hosts

We are a Belgian couple who live in Los Silos since 2012. In 2014, we started a permaculture project called Finca la Canopea, in order to make a transition towards a more sustainable future. Over time, the project has grown and we developed an edible forest, a vanilla cultivation, family activities and guided tours for individuals. In addition, we offer training for schools and institutions interested in discovering other ways to take care of the Earth. Throughout the years we have welcomed and hosted many volunteers and travelers, with the goal of extending our little world to all those who want to come, be inspired, and breathe an air of positive change. So why not join us and immerse yourself in our rural environment for a month or two?
