Kelp Coworking Space is a human-centric coworking space located in Ericeira, Portugal, a surf town on the Atlantic coast. It offers flexible membership tiers, dedicated desks, phone booths, a meeting room, and 24/7 access for members. Beyond the workspace, Kelp fosters community through regular events like breathwork sessions, art nights, and communal lunches.
Work by the Atlantic in Ericeira
Ericeira is one of Europe's few World Surfing Reserves, and Kelp Coworking Space sits right in the heart of its old town. Founded on the belief that "connection to others and a healthy environment are the foundations to well-being," Kelp is designed for remote workers and nomads who want more than just a desk — they want a place where work and life genuinely mix.
The space is housed at Rua de São Félix 12, within walking distance of the beach, local bakeries, restaurants, and surf spots. Parking is easy in the old town, and the vibe is deliberately relaxed without sacrificing the essentials.
What's Inside
Kelp covers the full spectrum of coworking needs:
- Membership options — daily drop-in, weekly, monthly, and flexible passes so you can stay as long as your visa and surf conditions allow
- Desk types — both dedicated desks for regulars and communal hot-desking for short-stayers
- Five phone booths — ventilated, bookable, and free to use for calls and focused work
- Meeting room — available for team sessions, client calls, or video production
- Communal kitchen — a full cooking space so you're not spending every lunch euro at a café
- Fiber internet — the kind of connection that makes video calls not a gamble
- 24/7 access — reception is staffed on weekdays from 9am to noon, but members can come and go around the clock
Community and Events
What distinguishes Kelp from a generic shared office is its commitment to building real community. Members get invited to a regular calendar of events: breathwork mornings, art nights, shared lunches, movie nights, and more. The team also coordinates group retreats, making Kelp a solid choice if you're bringing a small remote team and want somewhere with built-in programming.
This community angle appeals directly to the type of nomad who's tired of anonymous coworking chains and wants to actually meet people — whether fellow surfers, freelancers, or remote employees.
The Ericeira Context
Ericeira has become a genuine nomad hub. It's compact, affordable relative to Lisbon (45 minutes away by car or bus), and has world-class waves for every skill level. The slower pace and the Atlantic breeze make it easy to stay longer than planned. Kelp fits naturally into this setting — a place where the line between a productive workday and a memorable surf trip stays deliberately blurry.
For nomads looking to combine focused remote work with Portugal's surf culture, Kelp Coworking Space in Ericeira is hard to beat.
