La Canaria & the Swede: your trusted partner for rentals in Gran Canaria

La Canaria & the Swede is a property management and rental company with an initial focus on Gran Canaria, and a medium-term vision to expand across all the Canary Islands.

We specialise in connecting carefully selected properties with quality, reliable tenants, creating secure and transparent rental experiences for both owners and tenants. All properties and owners are personally vetted, and all tenants are carefully checked, so every party involved can feel confident from the very beginning.

Transparency and honesty are at the core of how we work. We believe trust is built through open dialogue, direct communication and agreements that are easy to understand, so everyone feels comfortable, informed and respected throughout the process.

When you work with us, you can relax knowing you are in safe hands!

Our story

La Canaria & the Swede was founded by Iliane (La Canaria) and Simon (the Swede).

We are a Canarian and a Swedish who have built our lives between Gran Canaria and Sweden. We met in sunny Gran Canaria — a place that naturally brings together people from different cultures — and later moved to Sweden, where we have been living since 2020. Even so, we always return to Gran Canaria, where we love spending time with family and friends and staying closely connected to the island.

Living between these two countries gave us first-hand experience of both local realities and international expectations. Through our own experience, we saw a clear need for a more personal, transparent and trustworthy way to connect local property owners with international tenants.

From the beginning our goal has been to remove unnecessary layers between people. There are no call centres or automated systems standing in the way. Instead, we focus on personal communication, clear guidance and ongoing support before, during and after each stay.

That is why we created a specialised service that bridges cultures and expectations, connecting property owners in Gran Canaria with quality tenants from the Nordic countries and the rest of the world who are looking for medium- and long-term rentals on the island.

Today, as we prepare to return to Gran Canaria, our focus is on putting this experience into practice — helping owners and tenants navigate the rental process with clarity, confidence and peace of mind. We relate to both sides and are able to act as a reliable bridge, ensuring smooth communication and strong relationships at every stage.

At La Canaria & the Sweden, we believe that successful rentals are built on trust, clarity and strong relationships, creating positive experiences for both owners and tenants.
