For many people in Bali, whether they’re vacationers passing through that need to get some quick work done, business types on a two week trip through Asia (with a weekend to spare) or nomads making a living the digital universe, work needs to happen at some point. When the time comes, one of the many Ubud coworking spaces available will perfectly fit your needs.
Though the diverse and amazing café and restaurant scene is a comfy possibility for getting work done, many transplants, long stayers, and a coffee shop/restaurant owners frown on taking up a table for hours in this cluttered digital nomad scene on Bali. On a more positive note, finding a dedicated, quiet space with AC, a good internet connection, and 8 hours without interruption (or having to move tables) can be a real productivity booster. After hours, being able to easily socialize with like-minded potential friends is a huge plus that’ll definitely make your time on Bali sweeter.
Lucky for you, Bali, and specifically Ubud, offer a great array of coworking space options. With so many great Ubud coworking space options, it can be difficult finding the one right for you…until now.

Overview of the Bali and Ubud Coworking Spaces
For my first month on Bali, I reluctantly opted for a coworking space, but the productivity boost, the routine that resulted, and clear line between work and play (that can easily blur as a digital nomad) became much clearer. The result made my time on the island better by being more productive at work, more enjoyable outside of work, and more mindful all around. Because of this, if you’re coming to Bali with work goals, I highly recommend opting for a coworking space – thinking of that membership fee as an investment in productivity.
So now that you’re sold on coworking spaces, while specifically should you pick an Ubud coworking space to park your laptop?
Why is coworking in Ubud perfect for nomads, vacationers, and travelers
Ubud and its coworking spaces offer three main benefits over Canggu and the nomad friendly workspaces on the rest of Bali
- Ubud’s hilly jungles backdrop with a more spiritual crowd offer a completely different, more chill vibe compared to the beachy surf town feel of Canggu and further south
- The Ubud coworking spaces are cheaper than elsewhere in Bali while maintaining a high standard for comfort, facilities, and service
- The atmosphere of the city is much quieter than in Canggu, Kuta, Seminyak, and further south
Ultimately the Ubud coworking scene is affordable and comfortable with the backdrop of a tranquil village of locals and nomads/travelers that helps boost productivity, making it perfect to crunch out that project and meet your goals.
What to look for in a good coworking space
Wherever you go on Bali there will be plenty of coworking spaces to choose from. To make sure you’re not locked into a month of coworking misery (by your standards) look at these factors to assess if the potential coworking space is right for you
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?!?!)
Now, let’s jump into the 7 best Ubud coworking spaces….
