iSlow is a place for people who travel with curiosity and an open mind. Who enjoy good conversation as much as good work. Who feel at home when there’s a shared table, a coastal walk, or an unexpected connection with someone they just met.
Here, on the Costa da Morte — Galicia’s wild and largely undiscovered Atlantic coastline — slowing down isn’t a retreat from life. It’s a return to it.
Joining our community of colivers can be a way to explore new cultures, learn from others, and create unforgettable memories while getting your work done.
At iSlow we enjoy the simple things in life, like connecting with others and being present in the moment. In today’s fast-paced world, it can be challenging to slow down, but let’s try together.
During lunch breaks and dinners, take the time to learn how to cook using fresh, local, seasonal, and sustainable ingredients. Enjoy meals together, take a walk, or spend quality time with your kids. Let’s support each other in reconnecting and making the most of each moment.

This is iSlow
Food is at the heart of iSlow. Fresh fish from the harbour, vegetables from the garden, recipes passed down through generations. We love sharing a table — community meals happen often, and when they do, they’re always worth staying for.
Guests bring their skills, their passions and their curiosity. Artist, developers, designers, writers, musicians, yogis — what happens when creative people share a space is always unexpected and always worthwhile.
One of Europe’s most beautiful and least discovered coastlines is on your doorstep. Wild beaches, fishing villages, ancient trails and a culture that has been shaped by the Atlantic for centuries.
Slow Life
A life lived more slowly, with space to enjoy working hours just as much as leisure time, is certainly possible. In Laxe this life becomes a reality.
The Slow movement originated in Italy in the 1980s and advocated a cultural shift toward slowing down life’s pace. It’s about quality over quantity in everything from work to food to parenting. This philosophy has influenced our approach to work, travel and to life in general. At iSlow it’s not about doing everything at a snails pace. It’s about seeking to do everything at the right speed.
At iSlow we aim to be masters of our time, want to focus more on our personal and social well-being and environmental sustainability. We consume locally and support those around us. It is this way of life we like to share with you.
Slow Food
The Slow Food philosophy puts emphasis on the origin of its produce, the preparation of traditional meals and the satisfaction of sitting down to share it with others. These are values that connect us to our traditions. Galicians were “slow” long before we even knew about slow food.
In Galicia, gastronomy is the common thread. Food brings us together around a table to share moments with family and friends. At iSlow, we advocate for a slow pace when it comes to food. We avoid rushing and try to be conscious about the products we consume. We are committed to the local, sustainable and healthy. Luckily we live in an environment surrounded by small producers and local farmers who take great care of their produce. Fresh fish and seafood are landed every morning in the harbour at Laxe, just 1 km away.
