Europe’s first digital nomad village is opening on a tiny volcanic island
The first digital nomad village in Europe is about to open on the tiny volcanic island of Madeira, one of two autonomous regions of Portugal.
Digital Nomads Madeira launches on February 1 in the village of Ponta do Sol. It aims to attract digital nomads, remote workers who travel the world while they work.
Situated on the south coast of the island, the nomad village offers remote workers a free working space with a desk and chair at the John do Passos Cultural Centre, access to a Slack community and free wifi from 8 am to 10 pm daily.
The project has been developed by the Regional Government of Madeira, through Startup Madeira, and with the help of a digital nomad consultant. It aims to attract digital nomads from all over the world. The closure of offices due to COVID-19 has greatly increased the number of people who can work remotely.
3000 people have already registered for the project, which can host 100 nomads. They are still taking registrations here.
The Madeira islands were voted the World’s Leading Island Destination for the sixth consecutive year in the World Travel Awards 2020.
According to Digital Nomads Madeira, Ponta do Sol offers the “perfect conditions for nomads looking for warm weather, sun, and a peaceful lifestyle surrounded by nature.”
It’s expected the nomads will have “a very positive impact on Madeira Islands, by staying for longer periods of time, building a community, helping to fight the tourism reduction and the seasonality of the tourism market.”
The project has also teamed up with local businesses such as real estate, hotels and rental car companies for the nomads to use.
