As a digital nomad, the possibilities are endless. What once seemed a utopian fantasy has rapidly become a reality; a flourishing realization that allows people to govern their own time and dictate how their skills should be utilised—now’s the time to call the shots. With the freedom to work from virtually anywhere in the world, finding the right co-working environment for you is a must!
Bali is fast becoming an energetic hub for digital nomads with a plethora of location-independent and remote-working professionals flocking in mass to its shores for its relatively cheap living costs, rich history, and cultural vitality, and of course the high-speed internet and WiFi—certainly a deciding factor.
Who wouldn’t want to bask in the Balinese sunshine, bounce off of other like-minded creative individuals and most importantly, be your own boss? The number of co-working spaces in Bali has blossomed into a large collection of stimulating and inspiring spaces that raise productivity levels whilst giving you the freedom to work at your own pace.
Allow us to highlight the very best co-working spaces in Bali for traveling entrepreneurs and digital nomads alike.
Hubud, Ubud
The mother of co-working spaces in Bali, Hubud, located in Ubud is truly the holy grail that boosted the entire concept of digital nomads on this Indonesian island. The energy here is infectious, and if you could visualize the brainstorm of ideas that brews anew every day, it would be rather a mesmerizing display. Hubud stresses the importance of ‘play, productivity and purpose’ and that is an ethos that permeates every decision, idea and skill that comes to fruition. With a membership at Hubud, you have free reign to use the indoor and outdoor bamboo environments, super fast internet, cool and breezy meeting rooms and Skype booths, and a seriously impressive schedule of events and workshops that are also live-streamed, from app-coding to health coaching. And, did we mention the soothing views of rice fields and luscious palm trees? What’s not to love?
Memberships start at $92 per month for off-peak to $206 per month for an unlimited pass. If you’re looking for a supportive environment where you can work and play, and a roster of events that never stop, then Hubud is the perfect match for you.
Outpost, Canggu
Offering co-working and co-living in Ubud and Canggu, Outpost offers an array of welcome facilities for location-independent entrepreneurs. Its newest space, set against the hip rhythms of Bali’s coolest surf beach, Canggu, flings you into a social space of interconnectedness and peak productivity levels. With high-speed internet, ergonomic chairs and relaxing indoor hubs and outdoor spaces to collaborate, being comfortable whilst working come to the forefront of Outpost’s philosophy. They offer different kinds of events to get stuck into, from social workshops, pool parties and excursions to other islands, to training programs to help you fully integrate into the digital nomad lifestyle. How about having 15 minutes with the on-site masseuse to ease those aches and pains. Bright and modern, Outpost Canggu has a beach-house vibe and is one of the more remote co-working spaces in Bali. Relax by the pool with your laptop or retreat inside to a comfy couch to really get your creative juices flowing.

With air-conditioned conference rooms and the latest high-tech facilities, Dojo promotes a sense of community and offers the perfect habitat from which to mix business with leisure for the young aspirers of the digital nomad tribe. They even have backup generators so they’re not dependent on Bali’s electricity in case of an outage. This space is by far the most social, so if you’re looking to make friends and build your network of business contacts, Dojo is the one for you. Describing itself as a place to “connect, work, collaborate & surf”, this space definitely operates on a ‘work hard, play hard’ mentality. Expect regularly hosted events from masterminds, workshops and community BBQs, to networking events and skill sharing sessions.

Raff’s Office Club, Seminyak

A welcome distraction from work is always available at Raff’s, so for those who don’t mind mixing work and play and can balance the thin line between the two, this is the match for you.
