Maraya Coliving

Meet the team behind Maraya. A group of 5 friends brought together through the shared passion of surfing, the dream of living by the ocean, and the idea of creating a space where you have everything you need to work remotely and enjoy life to the fullest. A space where you can be productive, but also connected. To yourself, to nature, to those around you and to the projects, sports and hobbies you love. Where you can feel the sun on your skin and even in winter sit outside in boardshorts. Like all good ideas, it took time. At the beginning it was simply post surf evenings wondering “what if?”, sharing travel and digital nomad experiences – the good, the bad and the ugly – and dreaming of our own space. Then the team and the idea gained momentum. First it was 9 months searching to find the house, then 5 painful months of waiting as negotiations and documents were prepared, until finally we completed at the end of January 2021. It felt like a finish line, but really we had only just begun, now the fun stuff – creating our space. It took another 9 months to renovate everything exactly how we’d imagined it – no wonder it feels like a baby to us.
