Top 20 Tropical Nomad Coworking Spaces In the World

There’s something magical about typing away while palm trees sway overhead and ocean breezes cool your skin. After spending the last three years hopping between tropical nomad coworking spaces, I’ve compiled my absolute favourites. These are communities that changed how I work and live apart from the great Wi-Fi services.

Southeast Asia: The OG Digital Nomad Paradise

1. Dojo Bali – Canggu, Bali, Indonesia

Let me tell you about my first day at Dojo. I flumped on my scooter, sandy-footed from a morning surf session, and found myself in a scampering community of freelancers, entrepreneurs, and creatives. This tropical nomad coworking space sits literally seconds from Echo Beach, where the consistent waves keep surfers happy between Zoom calls.

The air conditioning works brilliantly (crucial in Bali’s humidity), and the internet rarely drops, even during those famous Bali power outages, thanks to their backup generators. But what makes Dojo special is the people. Weekly skill-shares, communal lunches, and Friday sunset drinks created some of my most meaningful connections.

• Getting there: Fly into Denpasar Airport and grab a Grab taxi for about 350-400k rupiah to Canggu. Alternatively, arrange a driver through your accommodation for around 300k rupiah.

2. Outpost – Ubud & Canggu, Bali, Indonesia

Outpost offers a more polished nomad coworking experience spread across multiple locations. Their Ubud space became my second home for two months. I’d work upstairs overlooking rice fields before joining yoga sessions in the afternoon.

What sets Outpost apart is their thoughtfully designed workspaces with ergonomic chairs, and their fantastic community managers who remember everyone’s names and projects. They host meaningful networking events rather than just boozy mixers, though those happen too! It was the ideal tropical nomad coworking space for me.

• Getting there: The Ubud location is about 90 minutes from the airport costing around 350-450k rupiah by taxi. To travel between Outpost locations, use Gojek or Grab motorbike taxis for about 60k rupiah.

3. Hubud – Ubud, Bali, Indonesia

Working at Hubud feels like being in a treehouse for grown-ups. Their bamboo structure faces the Monkey Forest, and monkeys occasionally peer through the windows while you’re coding or writing. The tropical coworking vibe is strong here. Ceiling fans whirling above, jungle sounds filtering in.

I loved their meeting pods made from reclaimed wood and the fact that they serve proper barista coffee. Their community leans toward social entrepreneurs and creative professionals.

• Getting there: Located in central Ubud, you can walk from most accommodations or take a quick scooter ride (20k rupiah from anywhere in town).

4. The Work Loft – Bangkok, Thailand

Bangkok might seem chaotic, but this urban nomad office space provides a calm oasis with tropical touches. The plants hanging from the ceiling and natural light streaming through floor-to-ceiling windows create an unexpectedly peaceful atmosphere.

After work, head up to their partner rooftop bar for skyline views. I spent many evenings there with my laptop, finishing projects as the sun set over the city. Their 24/7 access was perfect when jet lag had me working at odd hours.

• Getting there: The BTS Skytrain gets you within a 5-minute walk which is much faster than navigating Bangkok’s infamous traffic. From the airport, take the Airport Rail Link to Phaya Thai, then switch to the BTS (total cost about 75 baht).

5. KoHub – Koh Lanta, Thailand

KoHub combines island life with serious productivity in a way I haven’t found elsewhere. This tropical nomad paradise sits in a lush garden setting where you can work under the shade of fruit trees. Their internet is ridiculously fast (especially for an island), and the community tends to stay longer, for weeks or months rather than days. The food is exceptional too. Their on-site restaurant serves affordable Thai dishes and Western comfort food that kept me coming back for three months straight.

• Getting there: Fly to Krabi, then take a minivan (350 baht) or private taxi (2000 baht) for the 2-hour journey including two short ferry crossings.

6. Nook Coworking – Galle, Sri Lanka

Tucked away in a colonial building in Galle Fort, Nook captured my heart with its blend of historical charm and modern necessities. The cool stone floors and ceiling fans keep temperatures comfortable while you work from antique desks. The owners knew every good local spot for food, swimming, and weekend trips. They organised weekly dinners at rotating local spots that introduced me to proper Sri Lankan cuisine beyond typical tourist fare.

• Getting there: From Colombo airport, take the express train to Galle (about 500 LKR, 2.5 hours) or a private taxi (about 12,000 LKR, 2 hours).

7. HUB Cebu – Cebu, Philippines

When I needed a change from Bali, Cebu’s growing digital nomad coworking scene was a revelation. HUB Cebu occupies a modern building but incorporates Filipino design elements that remind you where you are. Their meeting rooms named after local islands motivated me to spend weekends island-hopping around Cebu. The lightning-fast fiber internet and generous desk space made working there a dream.

• Getting there: Fly directly to Mactan-Cebu International Airport, then take a Grab car to the city (about 250-300 PHP).

Caribbean & Central America: Where Latin Vibes Meet Productivity

8. Selina CoWork – Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica

Working from Selina Puerto Viejo was a multi-sensory experience; the sound of waves crashing, occasional tropical rainstorms pattering on the roof, and howler monkeys announcing the sunrise as I started early work sessions.

This nomadic coworking studio offered both air-conditioned indoor spaces and covered outdoor areas. Their accommodation options range from private rooms to hammocks, making it accessible regardless of budget. The Caribbean culture of Costa Rica’s east coast added a unique flavor to my workdays.

• Getting there: From San José, take a public bus (about $10, 4 hours) or shuttle service ($50, 3.5 hours).

9. Casa Campus – Tulum, Mexico

Let me be honest, working in Tulum tests your focus when perfect beaches beckon just minutes away. Casa Campus helped me maintain productivity with their structured coworking environment while still embracing the area’s bohemian energy. What made this nomad experience special was the blend of international remote workers and local Mexican entrepreneurs. The coffee shop downstairs makes the best cold brew I’ve had in Latin America, fueling many productive writing sessions.

• Getting there: Fly to Cancún, then take an ADO bus (about 300 pesos, 2 hours) or shared shuttle (about USD 30).

10. Outsite – Puerto Rico

Outsite’s Puerto Rico location combines Spanish colonial architecture with modern amenities. The courtyard became my favourite spot to take calls, with its small fountain providing background noise to mask street sounds. Their commitment to integrating guests with the local community led to some of my most authentic travel experiences, including a home-cooked dinner with a local family arranged through their community manager.

• Getting there: Fly directly to San Juan, then take an Uber (about USD 15-20) to the Old San Juan location.

11. The Hub – Roatán, Honduras

This hidden gem on Honduras’ Bay Islands offers reliable internet speeds for my surprise in such a small Caribbean Island. The open-air design lets in sea breezes while ceiling fans keep things comfortable. Morning dives and afternoon work sessions became my routine here. The locals’ “island time” mentality eventually rubbed off on me, leading to a healthier work-life blend than my usual frantic pace.

• Getting there: Fly to Roatán International Airport, then take a taxi (USD 15-20) to West End where The Hub is located.

12. CocoVivo – Bocas del Toro, Panama

The most remote space on my list, CocoVivo sits on its own private island in Panama’s Bocas del Toro archipelago. Working from overwater bungalows with glass floor panels (spotting fish during video calls became normal) was an experience I’ll never forget.

• Getting there: Fly to Bocas Town, then take a water taxi (USD 25, 30 minutes) to CocoVivo’s private dock.

This eco-focused tropical nomad coworking space runs on solar power with some generator backup. Their internet surprised me with its reliability given the location. Days end with swims in bioluminescent waters with nature’s perfect reward after meeting deadlines.

Africa & Indian Ocean: Emerging Destinations

13. The Hive – Cape Town, South Africa

Cape Town might not immediately scream “tropical,” but its coastal location and sunny disposition earn it a spot. The Hive’s plant-filled interior and outdoor workspace facing Table Mountain created an inspiring setting for creative projects.

South Africa’s time zone worked perfectly for my European clients, and the favorable exchange rate meant I could afford a much higher standard of living than in Western countries.

• Getting there: Fly to Cape Town International, then take an Uber (USD 15-20) or the MyCiTi bus (about USD 5) to the city center.

14. Coworking Port Louis Mauritius – Mauritius Island

Working from Mauritius felt like a secret I’d stumbled upon. This tropical coworking space sits just a 10-minute walk from white sand beaches yet remains undiscovered by the masses of digital nomad places lists.

The French-influenced culture meant fantastic coffee, pastries, and a relaxed approach to work hours. The infrastructure was better than I expected, with fiber internet and reliable electricity even during the occasional cyclone season storms.

• Getting there: Fly to Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport, then take a taxi (about 1,500 MUR, 45 minutes) to the northern coworking areas.

15. Nomad Beach Bar Cowork – Diani Beach, Kenya

Kenya surprised me with its emerging digital nomad coworking scene. This beachfront space in Diani combines work areas with beach bar vibes, creating a relaxed atmosphere where you can transition from focused work to social time seamlessly.

Their community skews slightly older than Bali’s, with many experienced remote workers and entrepreneurs who’ve been location-independent for years. I learned more here in conversations over sundowners than from many online courses.

• Getting there: Fly to Mombasa, then take the Likoni ferry followed by a matatu (local minibus, about 200 KSH) or taxi (2000 KSH) to Diani Beach.

16. TaoHub – Koh Tao, Thailand

Koh Tao isn’t just for divers anymore. The Reef has created a nomad coworking community on this tiny island that balances work with incredible marine adventures. Their fiber internet connection outperforms many spaces in major cities.

The island’s size means you’ll quickly become part of the community. Weekly beach cleanups followed by barbecues became a highlight of my social calendar during my stay.

• Getting there: The journey is part of the adventure. You may take a train or fly to Surat Thani, then take a bus to the pier (150 baht), followed by a ferry (550 baht) to Koh Tao.

South America: Latin Flavor with Tropical Twists

17. Selina Lima CoWork – Lima, Peru

Lima’s Miraflores district offers a perfect balance of urban amenities and coastal living. This tropical nomad coworking space sits walking distance from clifftop parks overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

What I appreciated most was their separate quiet and collaborative zones when I needed deep focus time, I could find it, but brainstorming sessions with other nomads were equally accommodated. Their Peruvian coffee selection kept me pleasantly caffeinated through long work days.

• Getting there: From Jorge Chávez International Airport, take an official airport taxi (about 60 soles) or Uber (40-50 soles) to Miraflores.

18. Imagine Coworking – Medellín, Colombia

Medellín’s year-round spring-like climate earned it the nickname “City of Eternal Spring,” creating perfect tropical nomad working conditions. Imagine Coworking captures the city’s progressive energy in a bright, plant-filled space.

The local tech scene’s growth means you’ll find plenty of skilled locals alongside international nomads, creating a melting pot of ideas and collaboration opportunities. Weekend trips to actual tropical areas like Guatapé provided the perfect work-travel balance.

• Getting there: Fly to José María Córdova International Airport, then take the official airport bus (11,000 COP) or a taxi (80,000 COP) to the city.

Pacific Islands & Oceania: Remote Paradise and Tropical Nomad Coworking Spaces

19. The Coworking Hub – Coromandel, New Zealand

New Zealand’s Coromandel Peninsula offers a temperate rather than tropical climate, but the coastal setting and lush forests create a similar feel. This tiny nomad coworking hub attracts a nature-loving crowd who balance screen time with hiking, kayaking and surfing.

What impressed me was their seasonal programming by shifting to earlier hours in summer to let members enjoy long evenings outdoors, and cozy afternoon tea sessions during winter months.

• Getting there: From Auckland, rent a car (2.5-hour drive) or take the InterCity bus (35 NZD, 3.5 hours).
