Bespoke co-living homes for Remote Workers.

Each HIVE is designed based on the given architecture and local culture. We create a unique living experience in each HIVE with a certain quality standard in all apartments but adapt the design and vibe of each HIVE according to the local surrounding. Our HIVES are infused with local art, local design elements and furnished with local partners, to give you an authentic experience and support to local communities.

‍

The average full capacity of a HIVE is between 3 to 5 members. Our HIVES are very spacious and provide between 150 - 300 sqm both for private bedrooms as well as common areas. All apartments have a large dining room, usually with an open kitchen and a spacious, cozy living room, about 30-60 sqm in size.

‍

We have local partnerships with various companies. At some of our partnering gyms or yoga studios, members get a free or a discounted trial session along with other benefits. As we’re constantly onboarding new partners and local vendors, feel free to reach out to our team for more information. 

‍

At the beginning of every month, we provide a welcome dinner on us, cooked by a local chef to give our members the chance to connect, break the ice and get to know each other. In Barcelona, it is an authentic Paella prepared on our rooftop terrace. In Mallorca, it is a 3-course menu with local, fresh ingredients. With our up-to-date city guide, we aim to inspire members to explore our curated experiences collectively and inspire each other.

‍

Apart from the membership fee there are no additional costs and there is no deposit required.

‍

High-speed internet is one of the most important things for a digital nomad. We cut no corners and always provide the fastest locally available internet speed of 1000 Mbps where possible. No HIVE has an internet speed of under 250 Mbps.

‍

Many of our members are entrepreneurs, some are working in the blockchain industry, others in software development, project management, journalism, or the creative industry. Our member base is very diverse and people are coming together from all around the globe. Everyone shares a common passion for living life on their terms and embracing a sense of curiosity for what the world has to offer.

‍

We are currently focusing on our expansion in and around Europe, in Q2 of 2022 we are planning to expand further into Italy, France, Germany, and Turkey. Later this year we’re looking to expand to Thailand, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka. The exact locations will be published via our booking app and in our newsletter. 

‍

You can terminate your membership with one-month notice as long as it is before the end of the previous month. For example, if you would like to end on January 31st, then the notice should be given before the end of December. You can move out on any day of the month, but keep in mind that the membership always ends on the last day of the month.

‍

You are welcome to invite friends over for lunch, dinner, etc. as long as the other members in the HIVE are okay with it. Just give others a heads up and be mindful of the noise after 10 pm. You can always take the fun to a general area with closed doors or take it to the bar.

‍

We love pets, but unfortunately, we don't have any pet-friendly apartments available at the moment.

‍

You can arrive on the first day of the month from 4 PM onwards, feel free to share your move-in date with us so we can ensure you have a smooth move-in experience. Move-outs should be completed on the last day of the month, no later than 11 AM. 

‍

HIVEGEIST is a co-living community, so please treat the place like your own home, keeping it tidy and clean. We expect everyone to respect other members and their property. Each new member is asked to accept our member guidelines before moving into HIVEGEIST.

‍

This is your home, so you can definitely have guests come over as long as they stay only a few days (up to 5 days) and everyone in the home is fine with it. Please give a heads up to the other members in your apartment, so they are not surprised. If guests plan to stay longer than 5 days, then please let us know, and we will take it on a case-by-case basis. For Premium members, guests are allowed throughout the entire stay. 

‍

Feel free to ping us via email (hello@hivegeist.io) or sign up here and ask us anything you'd like during the call!
