It’s hard to go a whole day without seeing an influencer selling their life in Bali on TikTok or Instagram.
Digital nomads thrive in Bali. With incredible scenery, cheap accommodation, amazing food and the never-ending options for coworking spaces, it has all the amenities remote workers need.
Nomads of every background and profession gather together in peaceful cafes and office-type spaces to grind, bounce ideas off their peers and have a real work setting in paradise.
At the heart of the island, Ubud isn’t only for yoga studios, temples and spiritual retreats. The town also lures in entrepreneurs, business owners and freelancers from around the world to their cosy cafes with free Wi-Fi and tasty snacks.
These are some of the best coworking spaces in Ubud for getting down to business.
