Description
We are a Belgian family of 6. Years ago we and our 4 kids got trapped by the travel & surf virus. After years of hard work and very busy lives we decided it was time for a new adventure. So here we are in Gran Canaria setting up a new live, trusting the universe that all will be fine ! We are thrilled to share a part of that new life of sustainability and chill vibes with you.

We offer a chill family vibe in paradise. Gran Canaria offers one of the best climates on earth and besides that there is surf all year round and hiking in beautiful nature.
Help
Our finca is in the middle of a banana plantation. Authentic and beautiful but also a lot of projects to keep its authentic beauty. The incredible climate makes plants grow like crazy 😜 so a lot to do on that part, there is always some painting to do on a part of the house besides renovation projects and carpentry. AT this stage we are looking for someone with experience in repairing walls, chalking etc. We are looking for some help to keep this incredible gem in top shape and even bring it to the next level with our own veggie and fruit garden.
Our finca is not business related , we are a family trying to get the antique finca we bought back to it’s original state.

We are a family in a camper and they were so very kind to make sure we had everything we needed - love and hugs for that! They cleared out a space for us right by the banana plantage, with a little improvised kitchen, water and electricity. Our kids were free to roam around and… read more
Jan and Delphine are amazing, they and the kids made us really feel like part of the family from the beginning on. We had our own room and a shared bathroom inside the house at this beautiful banana-finca. We worked 4-5h/day but could freely decide at what time to start and when to… read more
