If you’re planning to work from Bali, the island offers more than beautiful scenery. Now, Bali has become a popular base for remote workers thanks to its combination of cafes, coworking spaces, reliable internet options, and an established digital nomad community.
However, each area has a different atmosphere, so choosing where to work can make a big difference to your daily routine. And then there is Bali.
This enchanting island offers just the perfect package: affordable cost of living, scenic landscape, vibrant community, and a million other things to do and explore. If you’re considering packing your bag and settling on this island, here are some of the best places to keep you busy while immersing in the beauty of Bali!
Best Places to Work from Bali
From dedicated coworking spaces to laptop-friendly cafes, here are eight places worth considering when you want to work remotely while experiencing Bali.
1. Revolver Espresso, Seminyak
Revolver Espresso is a fashionable boutique cafe and bar chain that offers comfort food, specialty coffees, and cocktails. Many have said that this cafe serves the best coffee. Sourcing some of the best beans from the best farmers in the world, they roast and blend locally in Bali.
The Seminyak location is currently open daily from 7 AM to 11 PM at Jl. Kayu Aya No. 51, making it a practical option for digital nomads looking for a central cafe with extended opening hours.
Brewing from 7 AM to 11 PM, their signature coffee is a must-try–from black coffee to cold brew–each offering different characteristics of beans and brewing techniques.
The cafe remains particularly suited to shorter work sessions rather than treating it as a dedicated coworking space, so be mindful of table availability during busy hours. Working quietly from this hidden gem will cost you only Rp30,000-150,000/person!
2. Zin Cafe, Canggu
Brewing every day from 7 AM to 10 PM, Zin Cafe is a beautiful open-air place spread over 4 floors, with a mix of modern natural comforts and a genuine Bali vibe. Home to one of the best roasteries in Bali, Z Roasters Coffee, Zin offers a bright and breezy place to chill out, kick back, and enjoy an eclectic world-class home-roasted coffee.
ZIN Cafe is currently open every day from 6:30 AM to midnight, while ZIN@Work operates during the same hours. The coworking area is free to use with a minimum spend of IDR 200,000, and it includes access to the bamboo workspace, an air-conditioned focus room, Wi-Fi, food, and coffee.
Its location on Jl. Nelayan also puts it close to Canggu Beach, making it a convenient choice if you want to combine a focused work session with time by the coast.
3. Tropical Nomad Co-working Space, Canggu
Tropical Nomad is another comfy place to work from Bali. Open 24 hours every day, this dedicated co-working space fosters a community of professionals, creatives, and artists. Everything is available here: fast internet, spacious garden, cafe, webcast/podcast studio, exercise area, print center, and even a shower area with a towel included!
With open and light areas mixed with private areas to serve everyone’s needs, the building is designed to stimulate productivity, creativity, and the creation of a professional community. Their outdoor areas will allow you to get fresh air, relax, or enjoy exercise. This will get you sufficient sunlight every day to stay healthy and keep your mind clear.

4. Watercress Cafe, Ubud
Watercress Cafe is your go-to place for great coffee, an all-day rustic breakfast, abundant organic salads, and rockin’ burgers. As one of the leaders in the wholesome cafe culture in Bali, Watercress is known for its selection of Western cuisine. They are proud to collaborate with homegrown products and participate in the progression of the local cafe scene and conscious attitude toward food.
Watercress continues to operate in Ubud, where its current concept emphasizes a calm, greenery-filled setting and fresh, seasonal food. The brand now has three Bali locations in Ubud, Seminyak, and Berawa.
For remote workers, Ubud’s slower pace and surrounding greenery can make a welcome contrast to the busier atmosphere of Canggu. The area is also known for combining coworking facilities with wellness, cafes, rice fields, and cultural experiences.
Enjoy their Benny Brunch: your choice of egg with a side of chia pudding, coffee, and juice for only Rp160,000, available daily from 7 AM to 3 PM. You might also want to try their Happy Hour, serving cocktails from Rp75,000, open to order daily from 5 PM to 7 PM in Ubud. Such a wholesome experience to look for!
5. WYAH Art & Creative Space, Ubud
The picture says it all. WYAH Art and Creative Space is located in a remote area in Ubud, Bali, surrounded by forest and contoured land. By maintaining the existing elements, WYAH Art and Creative Space architecture encourages people to connect more with nature.
Today, WYAH is located on Jl. RSI Markandya II in Keliki, north of central Ubud. The three-story creative space combines open-air seating, natural surroundings, food, coffee, and an art-focused atmosphere, making it an appealing alternative for those who prefer working somewhere quieter than central Ubud.
Do not be fooled by the astonishing design of the building; they serve the best coffee as well! Try their assorted signature beverages from Affogato to Matchagato, ranging from Rp50,000 to approximately Rp68,000. Feel free to fill your empty belly during lunch hour with their menu from Western to Oriental cuisine, with a price range of Rp40,000 – Rp110,000.
Current listings show WYAH opening daily from around 6:30 AM to 8 PM, although operating hours can change, so checking before visiting is recommended.
