Digital nomads have become a big part of the modern workforce in the post-pandemic world, and one of the world’s top destinations for digital nomads is Bali.
But where should a nomad stay if they want to enjoy coliving, coworking and a great social experience? Well, the good news is that there are a lot of choices on the island.
The bad news is that not every coliving space delivers a world-class experience, and that can really hurt your ability to work. So, our team went out to test every coworking space on the island to come up with the very best 20 co-living places to help out the island’s nomads, and this is what they came up with.
Our 20 Tips For The Best Coliving Bali Experiences
1. Bali Bustle
Kuta’s beach has seen better days, but the area still has shopping malls, cheap eats and plenty of other entertainment to make life interesting.
This co-living space has an excellent swimming pool, fully furnished rooms (with three choices of room type) and everything remote workers need to get the job done.
We should note that they actually have several locations in this area, and all locations have all the facilities, to ensure you can enjoy hanging out with like-minded people, no matter where you stay.

2. Matra Coliving
Remote workers seeking one of the best co-living places in Canggu, but who are keen to save money, are going to love Matra.
Just $30 AUD ($20 USD) per night can secure a private room with a private bathroom, swimming pool access and a dedicated rooftop coworking space with high-speed Wi-Fi and other shared facilities.
Guests enjoy regular cleaning services, community living, and the chance to make new friends from different backgrounds and much more.

3. Outsite Bali
If your idea of coliving in Bali is a huge villa with a lush garden and its own co-working space, then you might just fall in love with Outsite.
The views here are amazing, and you can enjoy the rice fields and river to your heart’s content. They’re good for community events, and the pool here is world-class.
If you want to feel the full-on tropical nomad vibe, then hanging out with your fellow nomads here makes for the perfect coliving experience.

4. Tribal Bali Coworking Hostel
Tribal is great for accommodation options as it’s got both private rooms and dorm rooms to choose from.
Their no-membership coworking means that the space attracts a lot of people, and it tends to be one of the more affordable options for people who work remotely in this area.
We loved their regular networking evenings, which helps connect you to other nomads to share ideas and to the local people and their culture, too.

5. SOKKOOL Coliving & Coworking
SOKKOOL has super-fast internet, a luxury lounge area, offers monthly stays, a great shared kitchen, and fully equipped workspaces.
It also has a lot of cutting-edge shared facilities such as a podcasting studio, gym, restaurant and more, and it’s also very close to the beach if you want to go surfing.
The downside is that all this high-speed WiFi doesn’t come cheap, and you will find the fully furnished rooms here are on the expensive side for most digital nomads.

6. Shashvata Canggu CoLiving
We loved the rooftop terrace, which looks down over the rice paddies and the lovely swimming pool at this co-living space.
It’s a very peaceful place which attracts slightly older remote workers and digital nomads than some of the other Bali coliving spaces.
Each private room here is quite basic, but it’s still one of the best co-living places that we tried in this area. It’s super easy to get work done here.

7. Camp 308 by IZE Canggu
Camp 308 is part of the larger IZE Canggu complex, and it was designed with nomads and entrepreneurs in mind.
It’s got a full coworking experience with air-conditioned desks and there’s a maximum capacity of 48 people at any given time, which ensures it stays intimate, calm and inspiring.
This is a great spot for serious work and for making real professional contacts for the years ahead.
The coliving space at IZE Canggu is a little more expensive, but if you want all the facilities for remote workers, you won’t regret it.

8. Cornerstone Coworking & Coliving
There’s a real emphasis on community living and networking at this coworking and co-living space.
There’s a nice variety of accommodation options from a Deluxe King Private Room to pods and dorm rooms.
You’ll find that they talk a lot about social welfare and giving baack a this spot, and if that’s the way you vibe, you’ll really appreciate it.
One thing we found at Cornerstone is that it attracts a really wide cross-section of the digital nomad community, and that’s a good thing.

9. Nomad Hub
We weren’t terribly impressed with Nomad Hub’s dreadful Instagram page and LinkTree advertising.
But remote workers who persevere with this co-living space will find that it’s a very pleasant h0me away from home.
The co-living space has several types of accommodation, and there’s even a villa if you have a big group already around you.
The on-site cafe does some very nice food, and it’s one of the more reasonably priced options in this area, too.

10. Outpost Ubud Penestanan
We love the confidence at Outpost, a co-working space that baosts that Google would choose this space if, of course, Google actually came to Bali.
And we think that effective enthusiasm comes through in everything they do, and it translates into a very popular spot in Ubud.
The accommodation options are solid, and the actual workspace has all the facilities that you could possibly need.
We also found Outpost to be great for networking with other remote workers, and we made some really solid contacts here.

11. T Lofts & Coliving
With a buggy website and a WhatsApp-driven booking service, you could easily be forgiven for giving up on T Lofts without booking.
However, for those who overcome the hurdles, there’s a very good coliving space here, and it’s super affordable for digital nomads on a budget.
There’s a very nice swimming pool available, and the outdoor areas are nice too; you can really relax when the working day is done.
The living room can act as a focus room when you want a break from high-speed Internet and ergonomic chairs and want to let your mind soar.

12. Miles Coliving
Miles Coliving Space has a lovely shared kitchen where you can cook all your own meals and keep your costs down.
They attract a nice mix of digital nomads, remote workers and long-term travellers seeking a break from hotels and hostels.
There’s a great swimming pool onsite, and they are ideally situated near local gyms and padel clubs if you want to work out while you work.
The team can also provide motorbike rental services, which means your bike will always be in top form before you ride off to explore the island.

13. Bestah Coliving
We loved the pool table at Bestah Coliving. There’s no easier way to make friends than a quick game on the green baize.
We also liked the high-quality rooms, which were verging on hotel standard, a bit of a rarity in the coliving space market.
We did think the swimming pool could have been a little bigger, it’s fine for an early morning swim, but can easily get crowded at night.
However, given that it’s a pretty cheap option (though that is because it’s in Denpasar), you can’t beat the value on offer here.

14. Biliq Coliving Space (Airbnb Superhost)
Biliq’s claim to fame as an Airbnb Superhost may or may not impress you (we don’t care, we booked direct).
However, the on-site cafe will surely make you happy as it’s very reasonably priced and makes excellent meals and coffee.
You get free access to fast internet throughout the coliving space, and the coworking area, and remote workers and digital nomads are well catered to with other amenities.
The swimming pool area is fantastic, and we felt that it was hard to beat the price vs location ratio at this co-living space.

15. Tanaga Coliving
Seminyak is a more expensive part of the island as a general rule, and that means that there aren’t that many coliving spaces or coworking spaces to choose from.
Tanga Bali is a good option for coliving in Bali if you want to meet like-minded people with a slightly higher income than the average digital nomad.
We really liked the rooftop area as a good way to get up high and enjoy a nice view and fast WiFi.
The Skype booth is handy when you want to make calls, and the swimming pool is excellent.

16. Aralea Coliving
Aralea is a proper house-sharing arrangement that ensures that meeting new friends is cost-effective.
It’s the perfect place for a few months of coliving, if you have always wanted to stay in a villa with a community at its heart.
There are 52 rooms available, and you can be sure that this affordable option located in the capital is going to ensure you meet many other guests pursuing remote work, too.
The on-site cafe is a real bonus and they make one of the best cups of coffee that we’ve ever had in Bali.

17. Colive Me Coliving & Coworking w/ Skate Pool and Surf School
They’ve got some lovely facilities at CoLive Me. There’s a big swimming pool to splash around in, a jacuzzi for relieving your aches and pains at the end of the day.
A skate pool where you can unleash your inner child, a coworking space and a garden and that’s all included in the rent.
The only thing that’s not part of that all-inclusive deal is the surfing lessons, which are charged on top (but they’re very reasonably priced).
The only downside is that this is in Kuta, and Kuta Beach isn’t looking great at the moment, even if this property is first rate.

18. Clan Living – The Founder Ubud
This spot was designed with living in harmony with the planet in mind, and it’s the most eco-friendly co-living space in Bali.
The private zen garden here is an amazing place for some meditation after some yoga classes in Ubud, and they have a lovely outdoor grill too.
We found the working environment here to be the most comfortable on the island.
The only downside is that this is a very premium experience and the rent reflects that.

19. The Onion Co.
This place is very odd, and while it calls itself a co-living space, we’d call it more of a hippy hotel.
There’s fast wifi though, and plenty of space to work, but the real focus of this spot is Musication.
That is healing and self-expression through sound. If you want to lay down some tracks in their on-site studio, you will love this co-living space
Their onsite restaurant is very good too, and it’s very easy to find your community at The Onion Co.

20. Rasa Ubud Yoga Coliving
The order of the day here is yoga classes. If you want to learn yoga during your time on the island this is the best co-living space in Bali bar none.
They also offer pilates, soulful workshops, meditation, and other cultural acitivities for the spiritual seekers out there.
They don’t have any meeting rooms tough which might be a drawback for the entrepreneurs with a team in tow.
Otherwise, co-living here is charming and if it’s your vibe, you’re going to really love being at Rasa Ubud.

FAQs
What’s The Best Area For Digital Nomads In Bali?
The main hub for digital nomad activity in Bali is Canggu, followed closely by Ubud. While there are coworking spaces and coliving spaces elsewhere on the island, these are often frequented by a very local crowd and may not offer the same levels of socialising, etc. that the two popular hubs do.
Which Part Of Bali Is Best For Coworking Spaces?
Canggu has, by far, the most coworking spaces, from high-end premium spots with all the mod-cons to free access cafes with the only requirement being to purchase a drink while you work.
Ubud is also very rich in coworking spaces, and you should easily be able to find a spot to work in an enjoyable way in the central Balinese town.
There are coworking spaces available in most other parts of Bali, but you probably won’t get many alternatives to choose from. We should note that most, but not all, cafes here in Bali are laptop-friendly.
Which Part Of Bali Is Best For Couples?
It really depends on what you’re looking for from the island. Couples will have an amazing time in all parts of Bali, but if you want a romantic break, you could try the Nusa Islands, North or West Bali or the less explored parts of central Bali away from Ubud.
Final Thoughts On The Best Bali Coliving Spaces
Bali is one of Southeast Asia’s main digital nomad destinations, and there’s no doubt that the island has a wealth of opportunities for coliving.
However, not all coliving spaces are created equally, and if you want to be certain of a great place to work, play and stay, we’d strongly recommend that you choose one of the 20 spaces on the list above; they’re all great.
