Bali is a paradise and very popular with remote workers and digital nomads, and Canggu is a perfect place to make a temporary hub for nomads and remote workers. With all of its Coworking spaces, Canggu offers something to fit everyone’s working atmosphere tastes, budget, and after work activities. Unfortunately, understanding the options and Canggu coworking space is right for you can be overwhelming.

Overview of the Bali Coworking Scene
The Bali Coworking scene is bustling and one of the best options for working remotely in Southeast Asia – partly because Bali is a dream destination with great food, adventure, and beautiful landscapes around every corner, and partly because of the wide array of options for every remote worker type and personality.
Whether you’re a fan of green hills and yoga (Ubud), the busy and chaotic cityscapes of Asia (and Denpasar), or (like me) surfing, sun, and the sea (Canggu), there is a Coworking option that fits your style.
Beyond these pretty awesome factors, the cost of living is cheap, the work/life balance is more life than work, and once you get squatting in coffee shops there is a great list of local coworking spaces. Canggu has the draw of being a hip surf town by day and a low key party spot by night. If you’re aiming for the best of all worlds, Canggu is hard to beat.
Why choose coworking spaces over cafes
Though it would be easy to spend your entire “remote working time” in Canggu working from so many of the awesome Canggu coffee shops and restaurants, there are two reasons to switch to a coworking space:
- A conducive work environment – with strong wifi and a quiet atmosphere
- Eventually, you’ll annoy the restaurant and café owners, and the regular customers
Why Canggu Coworking spaces
The best reasons to opt for Canggu Coworking spaces over Ubud, or Seminyak or elsewhere in the world are:
- Cheap: Canggu is cheaper than many other places, especially considering it is a hip beach town
- Small Town Feel: As busy and chaotic as it can seem at times, Canggu is quite small and faces will become familiar quickly
- Beachy Paradise: Close to a warm ocean with great surfing
- Food and Coffee: Plenty of great (& cheap) coffee shops and restaurants

Outpost Canggu
“A new a bright, modern space with a Balinese, beach-house vibe.” Outpost is an airy, spacious, and well-lit coworking space located above shops and restaurants and in the heart of the “other side” of Canggu. A friendly vibe (where people actually talk from time to time), plenty of desks, skype booths, and cozy little nooks that are great for working on beanbags or…napping.
Located on the opposite side of “the shortcut” as Dojo Bali, and closer to Berawa beach, Outpost provides quicker access to Berawa beach, Kuta, Seminyak, Legian, and more. Outpost is also at the center of a burgeoning sector of hip new restaurants and shops in Canggu and next to one of my favorite Canggu gyms.
Bottom line: Outpost is a great coworking space in a convenient, and growing, area.

Tropical Nomad
A newer Coworking space on peaceful, palm tree laden grounds. Located in the middle of Canggu, between Batu Bolong beach and Berawa beach (the two main beaches in Canggu) this space gives you great access to anywhere in Canggu. For the midday energy boost, the MVMT gym and yoga studio is right next door, after hours the Canggu bars of Pretty Poison, Black Cat, and so many others are on the other side of the building.
The grounds and facilities are open, airy, modern, and full of light giving that quiet yet calming background atmosphere that is great for a solidly productive remote work session – making those beachside rum & coconuts at Sandbar later much more rewarding.

B-Work
B Work Bali has emerged as arguably the most luxurious coworking space in Canggu, and possibly Bali. A large and lux coworking space features a full service cafe and metropolitan library style entryway cafe and chat friendly coworking space.
Beyond the private access doors, you’ll find 3 additional levels of hotdesk coworking for quiet focused work, each with a different vibe, along with 10 reservable private conference booths (1 hour daily included with memberships) and a fully equipped recording studio with lighting and green screen.
In addition to this already great setup, a rooftop open coworking space, with a view of the ocean and sea breeze to match, also has a yoga studio that offers free yoga classes daily.
Finally, in the basement, B-Work finishes off with a fitness center equipped with weights and punching bag, so you can get in a workout and let off some steam between workouts.

Tribal – Coworking Space and Coliving
Tribal has one of the coolest concepts that I’ve seen in a coworking space, and one that most nomads and remote workers will love – because Tribal doesn’t have a membership.
Instead of paying for a membership, Tribal only asks that you purchase food and coffee to cover your stay.
An initial purchase of food or drink gets you 3 free hours of cowork.
After 3 hours, Tribal asks that you spend a minimum of 100,000 IDR (~$7) on food and drink.
After 6 hours, Tribal asks that you spend a minimum of 200,000 IDR (~$14) on food and drink per person and then you’re welcome to work until your heart (or motivation) give out!
If you’ve been to Canggu before and worked in any cafe, you know that this is what you would easily spend in a coworking space on food anyways, but this way you avoid the membership fees – making Tribal a perfect work spot for those short stays in Canggu – when you need a workspace to focus, but you won’t be around long enough to justify a membership.
Aside from the cool “no membership” setup, Tribal offers an open-air coworking setup, as is common with the nicer cafes in Bali, a pool for quick dips between calls, and coliving (bunks and private) upstairs for rent. Coliving stays allow free use of the coworking space with no minimum spend.
A message directly from the Tribal team:
“Hello, There!
To use the co-working space, we don’t charge a Membership Fee or Day Pass etc. We just ask that all Guests place a food/drink order on arrival, and then we have a minimum spend of 100k after 3 hours and 200k after 6 hours – which is roughly equal to buying some food and/or a couple of drinks. All of our Coworking Spaces are offered on a ‘first come, first served’ basis, so we recommend you get down here early if you want to grab a good spot!
Thank you!”

What to keep in mind when picking a Coworking space
Facilities
- Is there sufficient air-conditioned space (if you need that)?
- Are bathrooms and showers available?
- Are conference rooms or meeting rooms available? Is there an extra charge?
- Are skype booths available? How much time do you get in the Skype booths per month?
- Are there fun bits, like bean bags, a garden space, or pool, to mix up your work session?
Atmosphere
- What is the crowd like? Completely quiet and introverted (where you won’t meet anyone) or social?
- How collaborative is the workspace? Active announcements board? Skill sharing?
Services
- Are networking, social events, and training events provided multiple times per week?
Food and Survival
- Onsite coffee shop?
- Onsite restaurant? Boxed lunches, set meals, or full menu?
- Are there nap spaces? (Don’t underestimate the value of these?!?!)
Specifically for Canggu:
- What side of the “shortcut” is the space on?
- What discounts will membership at the Coworking space get you around Canggu – find out before purchasing yoga or gym memberships
- Does the coworking space membership let you attend a partner space in Ubud for free?
