ABOUT IKIGAI
'IKIGAI' is a small word with a profound meaning. Translated from Japanese, it means "a reason for being." It is closely associated with the Japanese island of Okinawa, home to one of the world's longest-living populations. How do they do it? They live their lives guided by the principles of ikigai—an intersection of the four elements shown to the left.
This coliving was inspired by that philosophy. The goal isn't simply to provide a place to stay, but to create a comfortable home where people can live, work, and enjoy everyday life at their own pace.
By offering longer-term room rentals, dedicated workspaces, and shared areas designed for connection, we hope to foster a relaxed community where residents feel at home while experiencing everything northern Tenerife has to offer. Whether you're staying for one month or longer, we hope IKIGAI feels like home.
"Only things that are imperfect, incomplete, and ephemeral can truly be beautiful, because only those things resemble the natural world."
— Hector Garcia Puigcerver
THE 10 HOUSE RULE
Living at Ikigai is based on respect—for the home, the people who share it, and the neighbourhood around us. These simple principles help create a comfortable environment for everyone.
1. Respect the Home & Community - Treat the home and everyone in it with care and respect. Together, we create the kind of home we'd all like to live in.
2. Clean Up After Yourself - Wash your dishes, wipe down shared surfaces, and leave common areas ready for the next person.
3. Keep It Quiet - Please keep noise to a minimum between 11:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. so everyone can rest peacefully.
4. Report Problems Promptly - If something breaks or isn't working properly, please let the landlord know as soon as possible so it can be resolved quickly.
5. Enjoy the Jacuzzi Responsibly - The jacuzzi is available daily from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Please help keep it clean by avoiding food, drinks, and smoking while using it.
6. Be Environmentally Conscious - Help us reduce our environmental footprint by using water, electricity, and other shared resources responsibly. Small actions make a big difference.
7. No Illegal Substances - The possession or use of illegal drugs is strictly prohibited on the property. Please refrain from consuming or possessing illegal substances in the immediate vicinity of the property in a way that disturbs neighbours or negatively affects the community.
8. Be Considerate with Visitors - If you're expecting visitors, please let your fellow residents know in advance if their visit may affect shared spaces, noise levels, or the overall comfort of the home.
9. Lock Up When You Leave - Please lock doors and help keep the property safe and secure for everyone.
10. Leave It Better Than You Found It - Help keep shared spaces clean, tidy, and ready for the next person. A little consideration from everyone makes Ikigai a better home for all.
