Office desks are sooo last year. So if you're a digital nomad that swapped the 9-5 grind for international Zoom calls, check out these coworking spaces in Bali.
Hurrah! You’ve finally found yourself amongst Bali’s digital nomad community – the island’s ever-growing association of online entrepreneurs who scoot around the sunny streets in search of good Wi-Fi, strong coffee and a nearby power point, ready to spend the day emailing the outside world from a cool cafe or calm coworking space. Unsurprisingly so, Bali’s “island offices” are as innovative and creative as you’d expect; think sound-proof Skype rooms, poolside desktops, daily seminars and power-nap nooks. Yup, Silicon Valley ain’t got nuthin’ on us.
So grab your Macbook and have your iPhone at the ready (you’ll want to capture your #officefortheday) and head to one of these top coworking spaces in Bali. At these digital-friendly work destinations, you’ll find other barefooted laptop warriors living the nomadic dream, alongside great grub to keep your creative juices flowing. Top it all off with a productive yet laid-back vibe, and you can say hello to working remotely in Bali!
