The 18 Best Coworking Spaces In Canggu
Coworking Hub @ FINNS Recreation Club
FINNS Recreation Club is much more than just a coworking space in Canggu. It’s also a fitness centre, has an amazing lap pool, offers daily fitness classes and is home to the awesome Bistro C – one of our favourite cafes in the area.
If you want a coworking space that provides access to a bunch of handy facilities, then you have to consider FINNS Recreation Club.
However, it’s only from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. each day and there are no private offices available at FINNS Recreation Club.
They do have a library, silent booths, standing desks and much more to get you working well and there’s even waiter/waitress service while you work! The coffee at FINNS Recreation Club is hard to beat.
Where To Find It: Jl. Pantai Berawa No.15, Canggu, Tibubeneng, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80361
KAI Cafe
KAI Cafe is not a dedicated co-working space but more of a standard cafe, where you can enjoy a meal or a decent beverage for a reasonable price.
However, they’re very much open to being used like a coworking space and there’s no entrance fee at Kai Cafe – which can be very handy for nomads on a budget.
You are expected to eat and drink there, though, you can’t just come in and set up your office for the day and not buy anything.
One nice touch is that they have an onsite pool where you can take a dip (bring your own towel) for free as long as you’re spending money.

Genesis Creative Centre
Genesis Creative Centre is a coworking space that is entirely aimed at creative professionals.
You can enjoy a full film and photography studio, a recording studio (that handles music creation and podcasts admirably), an art studio as well as meeting room facilities here.
Genesis is the type of place where you go when you’re working on building a brand from scratch or creating an online course for others to buy.
Everything at this coworking space is “on demand” which means no membership fees but a fairly steep hourly rate of 750,000 IDR (that’s about $50 USD or $75 AUD) which includes access to all the equipment available there.
Where To Find It: Jl. Munduk Kedungu No.24, Pererenan, Kec. Mengwi, Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80351
Nebula Entrepreneur Coworking Space
Nebula is a pretty large coworking space with a modern industrial feel to it. The high ceilings make the main rooms quiet to work in and the area is surrounded with lush tropical greenery.
They have sound proof booths for quiet rooms as well as an onsite recording studio facility and a large conference room that can accommodate up to 20 people.
Members at Nebula are also able to use their sauna and ice bath facilities, so if you want to work out before you work – they’re set up to help with your recovery time.

We love that they have regular networking events at Setter to help you get working with others.

MEET ME AT 06 (Former Kajan Eatery)
This is a very nice coworking space which also includes an event space, a cafe, and a gym across a multi-storey design.
It’s a very affordable place and it’s very popular with digital nomads who are just getting started with the lifestyle. (We’ve got a great guide for digital nomads in Canggu too).
However, you should be aware that this coworking space is in Echo Beach’s “No Gojek and No Grab” zone which means you will have to walk a litte way from the offices after you finish work to get a ride share.
Where To Find It: Jl. Pantai Batu Mejan No.6, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80361, Indonesia
ZIN Café Bali
ZIN is a free coworking space in Canggu. All you need to use their fast Wi-Fi and attractive seating is to buy some food and/or drinks.
We should point out that while we love free stuff, this place is nearly always overrun by digital nomads on tight budgets and if you don’t get there in the early part of the day – you may not be able to get a seat at all.
We’d also note that some of the charge for this coworking space in Canggu comes at the cost of more expensive food than you’d expect given the quality and quantity of the portions.
Where To Find It: Jl. Nelayan No.78F, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung, Bali
Matra Coworking Space
Matra is, first and foremost, a guest house which is a cheap alternative to “hostel accommodation” in Bali. Guest houses have a long proud history in Canggu and if you fancy “coliving” then living here is a good way to test the waters.
They have a lovely coworking space on the upper floor of this building and you’ll find that there’s plenty of space to work.
However, not all the chairs are “office standard” but the compensation for this is you do get free use of the pool and gym and it’s much less crowded than some of the other coworking spaces in Bali.
Where To Find It: Br Pelambingan Gg. Rambutan No. 1, Tibubeneng, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80361
Ducat Space
Ducat Space is a multi-storey coworking space in Canggu with a lovely coffee shop on the ground floor with co-working and meeting rooms on the two floors above it.
It’s a very modern and attractive facility with an emphasis on minimalist chic, we love that it’s full of natural light.
Their office space is also very cheap and you can rent offices for up to 15 people easily here.

Awan Connection Coworking Space
This cozy coworking space is also a coliving space in the busy Batu Bolong area. This means they have some nice facilities including an outdoor pool and private offices.
The onsite cafe is excellent and we can happily recommend checking it out, particularly because, on your first visit, a purchase in the coffee shop gets you a day pass for the coworking space.
It’s not the largest setup though and they are limited to 32 desks and chairs in total, so digital nomads should aim to get there early.

SOKKOOL Coliving & Coworking
This is a very new facility that also includes an onsite coffee shop, small fitness centre and coliving facilities.
There are plenty of seating options to choose from with over 80 desks and every guest is allowed to use the printing facilities, pool, and focus rooms.
It’s open around the clock, 364 days a year (every business on the island closes for Nyepi) and is a great place to work.

Karya Co-Working
This high-end coworking space in Berawa is the sort of place that looks great if you need to send pictures back to your boss to convince them you’re working in an office.
They also have some lovely small private office spaces which have their own Nespresso machines for you to get your caffeine fix from.
The only downside is that there are no hot desk facilities here, you will need to pay for a dedicated desk.

B Work Coworking Space Bali
B Work is one of the most stylish coworking set ups in Bali. The hot desk area is right next to the cafe to facilitate casual conversation.
Their podcasting and video studio is world-class and their meeting rooms and training rooms are very useful.
It’s a very popular spot, though, so make sure to get there early if you want to have your pick of places to sit.

Shashvata CoLiving Space
If you want a home away from home, then this coliving space has an excellent reputation for really taking care of all its digital nomads’ needs.
The views are excellent and the onsite swimming pool is great after a hard day at the keyboard.
Where To Find It: Jl. Pura Batan Kepuh No.8, Tibubeneng, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80361
Note: Outpost Canggu Coworking has recently closed its doors and while Google lists it as “temporarily closed”, their website says they’re permanently closed as of April 26, 2024. They still offer a coliving style experience at their accommodation and continue to run trips and networking events but there’s nowhere to work anymore.
Factors To Consider When Choosing A Coworking Space In Canggu
Mostly, people will pick a coworking space because it’s got the right vibe for them but it can be worth narrowing down your initial choices based on the following factors:
- Is it targeted at the creative community? This can be great for artists and not so much for techies.
- Do they have fun events? Most coworking spaces run networking events but others also have yoga classes, a swimming pool, and regularly organized trips, etc.
- What facilities do they have? The best coworking spaces are more than just a hot desk and coffee. Do they have private offices, meeting rooms, a podcast studio, an onsite café or coffee shop, a film and photography studio, a conference room, a seminar room, a rooftop garden, focus rooms, an art studio, and air-conditioned meeting rooms?
FAQs
Is Coworking Space Expensive In Canggu?
If you compare the costs of coworking space in Canggu to the cost in the west, you will find that it’s actually very cost-effective.
You can get a day pass to try out a workspace for as little as 150,000 IDR (that’s around $10 USD or $15 AUD) to 300,000 IDR ($20 USD or $30 AUD) from most of the coworking spaces.
We’d strongly recommend that you do try out a space before you sign up for a membership as the ideal working environment differs a lot from person to person. Just because you have a friend that loved a place, it doesn’t mean that you will.
Then, a monthly membership which is usually the best value way to access a coworking space if you intend to use one every day – runs from around 1,200,000 IDR (that’s about $80 USD or $120 AUD) for a hot desk and if you want a dedicated desk it can cost up to 3,000,000 IDR (that’s around $200 USD or $300 AUD).
Your fee will normally include high-speed internet and some other services. Sadly, not many coworking spaces here in Bali offer delicious coffee as part of your membership and you will normally need to pay for your food and drinks on top.

For many nomads, a free coworking space can be enough as they just need to pay for some delicious food and drink and use the internet.
But long-term digital nomads will almost always opt for a paid popular coworking space in Bali which provides the same kind of amenities as regular office space and a collaborative environment.
While the free coworking spaces can get a bit crowded, the main paid-for spaces are great coworking spaces that tend to be busy but not too busy.
