How to Convert Your Surf House into a Coliving Space

Sun and Co is a coliving space in Jávea, a small coastal village near Valencia in Spain.

What I found super interesting is that Sun & Co operates as a coliving space from September to June and as a hostel, under a completely different brand, during the summer.

We discussed with Jon Hormaetxe Castells how you can integrate the coliving concept into your existing surf hospitality business.

Also, how Sun & Co operates, what are their occupancy rates, how they find customers, and what is crucial to run a successful coliving business.

 

Please be patient, the link will follow soon…

 

What we discussed:

  • How did Sun & Co start?

  • How long do the coliving guests usually stay?

  • How are the differences between regular short-term vacationers and coliving guests?

  • How does the model of combining a hostel and a coliving space actually work?

  • What processes do they have in place?

  • How does Sund & Co find customers?

  • How important is the community aspect when you run a coliving space?

  • How does the guest capacity change when you switch from a hostel and a coliving house?

  • How can it be applied to your existing surf hospitality business?
