Budget Options
Three main things a digital nomad in Bali will be looking for: Accommodation, a work space and a place to recharge and rejuvenate. Depending on your preferences and budget, these things can look very different - but rest assured that Bali has options for you no-matter what you prefer comfort or budget-wise.
Where to stay
Accommodation options start out very simple and inexpensive. You can rent a local kos or homestay that usually consists of one room plus bathroom and a shared kitchen and garden area. This is a great way to save money and also meet local friends who may be your close neighbor or host. To find accommodation like this, it is best to ask around once you arrive in Bali because these are often not listed online and much less expensive if you find them offline. If you want to try finding them before arriving, try to get connected with locals or expats through Facebook groups. There are special Facebook groups that help people find housing in many areas of Bali.
If you are wanting a more vacation or luxury vibe, villas are plentiful and come in many different sizes and options. You can rent a villa easily online and either share with roommates or find one to rent on your own. These are easier to arrange in advance through various rental sites and also quite easy to find through Facebook groups as well.
Many digital nomads in Bali end up choosing a co-living space and this is because of the convenience and networking options. Two of the best options on the island are Outpost and Dojo where you can live, work and network all in one place. Both have a strong sense of community. Outpost has two locations in Bali so you can choose to live close to the ocean and hot night spots of Canggu or surrounded by jungle, waterfalls and rice terraces in the heart of Bali – Ubud. Dojo is based in Canggu, great to stay for beach and surf lovers. Both provide everything you need as a digital nomad – from fast internet, comfy work spaces and private meeting rooms to community and training events that help you build and grow your skills. Some other co-living options in Bali are Hubud, Co Work Surf and Hub Bali.
Where to work
Depending on where you decide to stay, there are many options for work spaces. Everyone works differently and the atmosphere of your work space can make a huge difference to your productivity and focus. Outpost and Dojo as mentioned above, are great places to work whether you stay there or not. They are two of the top co-working spaces in Bali and have many levels of membership options to fit your preferences and needs.
Bali is the land of fabulous cafés with fun food and Instagram-able opportunities. Many of these are a great place to set up your computer and get your work on. Ubud, Sanur, Seminyak and Canggu all offer many options. Some favorite spots for digital nomads in Bali are Crate Café, Betelnut Café, Ingka Restaurant, Kebun Bistro, Kopi Desa Ubud, Shelter Bali and many more. Get out, explore and you’ll be sure to find a place that inspires you and fills your specific Wi-Fi and power outlet needs!
If you enjoy a peaceful atmosphere and top-notch healthy smoothies and foods to fuel your work, Genius Café Vision is a perfect choice. They are more than just a café, they offer a full retreat option and a calm space that is far from the hustle and bustle of the island. It’s a great place to relax, focus and try organic-sourced and locally crafted foods full of flavor and unique combinations. They also have a location in Sanur on the beach if you’re a toes-in-the-sand type of worker.
Where to play (and rejuvenate)
If you set up your base for any amount of time in Bali, it’s important to work but equally important to fit in some fun and rejuvenating activities. This allows you to stay sharp and appreciate the incredible island while you’re here. Aloha Bali Surf is a great place to start if you’re looking for some adventure and activity. They offer tour options, surfing lessons, board rentals/ repairs and even yoga. No-matter your fitness level or adventure preference, they have an option that will give you the fun and rejuvenation you need.
One fun option to inspire and immerse yourself in Balinese culture would be to experience the Kecak Fire Dance in Ubud or Uluwatu. Relaxation is also easy to find by spending a day in one of Bali’s vibrant beach or pool clubs: Mrs Sippy, Potato Head, Finns Beach Club or the more remote Sundays Beach Club. You can also find a great escape and adventure if you head to one of the nearby islands - Nusa Lembongan or Nusa Penida.
Many people come to Bali in search of a restorative experience through meditation and yoga. MOVEO offers not just yoga and meditation, but fitness and restorative options of many levels to suit your mental, physical and spiritual needs. Nourishing your body and mind for a weekend or an extended period of time is important to your work-life balance. Through the programs and opportunities at Goddess Retreats, you can connect on a whole new level with fellow adventurers while renewing your mind and body.
No matter what type of nomad you are, Bali has a way of taking care of you. Inspiring workspaces, training events and networking opportunities are plentiful. Enriching activities and restorative experiences are everywhere to keep you fresh and feeling balanced. One of the best things about being a digital nomad in Bali is that there are communities of interesting, creative and hard-working people everywhere you turn. If you haven’t made Bali your office yet, it’s time to try!
