Best Coworking Spaces in Ubud for Solo Travellers
Working in Ubud makes you love your job even more. Do you want to know why? Because you are fully immersed in nature, you are barefoot and surrounded by cute dogs.
From some of these coworking spaces, you can even watch the sunset! If you are nodding right now, keep reading because in this blog post, I will tell you exactly the best coworking spaces in Ubud, so all you have to do is book one and show up! I will also list the best cafes to work from.
All these places are perfect to work from as a solo traveller because they are great for meeting other travellers and are highly productive at the same time.
Let’s go!
Top 4 Coworking Spaces in Ubud
Let’s start with coworking spaces in Ubud. If you are planning on working from Ubud for a few months, I would recommend booking your hot desk in advance.
You can easily reserve your spot online or reach out to them via email if needed. For drop-in days, you can just turn up in the morning and pay for the day.
The nice thing about these coworking spaces is that you will be added to their WhatsApp group and be part of the community straight away. The group would discuss events, give travel tips and a lot more!
Another add-on is the cafes. Most of these coworking spaces come with a cafe, which means you can ask the waiter to bring your order to your desk directly or take a break and enjoy it in the cafe. This is super handy whilst you are working really hard and you want a snack or just a nourishing smoothie!
If you are working until late, I would suggest getting your dinner delivered. I try not to opt for deliveries because it’s not very eco-friendly but I was pleased to notice that some restaurants are using great alternatives to plastic when it comes to takeaways!
#1 Outpost Ubud Coworking (Mas)
Let’s start with the most popular, Outpost Ubud Coworking. There are 3 Outpost sites in Bali. 2 of them are based in Ubud and one in Canggu (which is now accommodation only rather than co-working!).
The Outpost, in general, is not just a coworking space; it’s a community. It’s very homely, welcoming and provides everything to get your work done. With its vibrant atmosphere and a wide range of facilities including meeting rooms, private offices, and even video call booths,
Outpost is a favourite among digital nomads. This specific location is developed on 2 levels. The ground floor includes the quiet room, which is air-conditioned and obviously super quiet!
The upstairs has fans and a balcony. Although it’s not a quiet zone, it tends to be really quiet. I would normally move to the balcony every time I had a call. Meeting rooms should be booked in advance to avoid disappointment!
Prices? Youโre looking at around $210/month for unlimited access, but they also offer flexible daily and weekly rates. Included in this fee you get access to the other Outpost facilities as well.
Opening hours: 24/7!

#2 Outpost Penestanan
Working from here is a dream! The coworking space at Outpost Pelestanan is developed on the rooftop of the Outpost building (which is the Coliving area) and it comes with spectacular views.
The split is quite similar to the Outpost Mas. You have a quiet room with air conditioning and an outside area with fans.
This coworking space is bigger and includes coliving too, which looks incredible! They also have a big space for morning yoga and evening events such as BBQs or live music!
Opening hours: 24/7!
Best place to stay nearby -> Outpost Coliving
#3 Titi Batu Ubud Club
Titi Batu Ubud Club is my current favourite place to work from! There are many areas where you can go with your laptop. You can choose a table by the pool or go upstairs and use the rooms with AC.
There are no meeting rooms and it’s not a proper coworking space like the Outpost, but it’s a sports club with a coworking area if you know what I mean. So if you don’t have meetings, that’s a great place to be!
You have to be a member in order to access the coworking area. However, it’s a really good deal if you think about what you get.
The membership prices start from $90 and that includes: gym, fitness classes, swimming pool, sauna, cold plunge, coworking and a lot more!
Opening hours: From 8 AM to 10 PM
Best place to stay nearby -> The Sankara Resort by Pramana
#4 Ubud.Space Coworking and Coffee
Ubud.Space Coworking and Coffee is a beautiful coworking space, really central in Ubud. There are meeting rooms and it’s fully functional as a proper coworking space.
My only hesitation with this place after trying it for half a day was that I found the chairs very uncomfortable.
While they are surely looking nice, you kind of have to sit on them for a long time, so I would rather have an ugly chair that saves my back than a cute one that kills it in 2 hours!
That being said, if you don’t mind these chairs, I have to say it’s a good place to work from! It’s mainly with AC (unless you work outside) and it’s often quiet so you can do some deep-focused work here!
Price-wise, you can expect to pay around $90 per month, but they often run some offers, so make sure to check their Instagram or pop in to ask for more info! ๐
Opening hours: From 9 AM to 11.30 PM

Beluna House of Creatives (2025 Update)
โ ๏ธ [In 2025 Beluna closed so at the moment this coworking is not available but hopefully it will come back to life in the future!]
Beluna Coworking is in a completely different setting. If you love rice fields, you have to check this place out for sure! Beluna offers a relaxing environment perfect for focusing on your projects.
With a cosy, inviting vibe, it’s great for those who prefer a quieter workspace. Monthly memberships are around $100, providing an affordable option without skimping on the essentials.
The events hosted here are all you need to boost your creativity and motivate you to get to the next level. Check their Instagram page to find out more about their events!
Best Cafes in Ubud to work from
Soul Bites
This is my go-to place if I need to get something quick done over lunch. Soul Bites is the kind of spot where you can type away on your keyboard and forget about the world.
They have plug sockets everywhere and comfortable chairs. Their menu is filled with healthy, hearty options that’ll keep you energised through those work sessions. Plus, their smoothie bowls? Out of this world!
Alchemy
If you’re into the whole vegan, organic, raw food scene, then Alchemy will be your jam. My favourite orders are mushroom soup, bounty bar (which is a dark chocolate bar filled with coconut) and papaya passion (a delicious papaya-based smoothie).
This place is laptop-friendly, and I always manage to meet someone too! If you fall in love with this place, you should visit the one in Uluwatu because it’s stunning!
Cinnamon Cafe
Cinnamon Cafe is probably the best cafe to get some work done in Ubud! What I like the most is that it’s not very well known by tourists so it’s not crowded at all.
It’s cosy, inviting, and yes, it smells like heaven if heaven were made of cinnamon rolls! It’s a great spot to hunker down with your laptop, especially if you’re someone who enjoys the quieter spots. And when you need a break? Their coffee and pastries will hug your soul.
Rรผsters
Last but definitely not least, we’ve got Rรผsters. This gem is a bit of an all-rounder; not only is it a fantastic place to work, but it’s also a restaurant, bakery, cafรฉ, and even a pottery sunset bar.
The vibe here is just right for creativity to flow, plus they’ve got a wide range of delicious offerings to keep your stomach happy while you work.
Coworking spaces vs cafes
After these lists, you might be wondering if you are better off booking a coworking space or just working from a cafe. Let me break this down quickly:
Coworking spaces are ideal if you want to have comfortable chairs, use the space all day and take part in community events. You can even book meeting rooms or join the quiet room if you need some focus hours with no distractions.
Cafes are for a couple of hours and there isnโt much privacy if you need to take a call. You also feel the pressure of ordering something often. So the price would work out the same as booking a coworking space in the end!
What about working from your accommodation?
The quick answer here is no. Most of the accommodations in Bali donโt have a stable WIFI, especially during the rainy season.
How reliable is the wifi at coworking spaces then?
Super reliable! You can take any video call you want and use big software platforms very easily. The only hiccup would be during the rainy season.
If there is a big storm, the WIFI might go away for a couple of minutes but itโs not really a big deal. In 3 months, it probably happened to me twice.
Things to bring to optimise working remotely
Bringing your mouse and keyboard is always a good idea. Iโve seen some people taking even their monitors to the coworking space. Itโs important to feel comfortable so you wonโt assume strange positions with your neck and back.
I would also remember to pick up a good noise-cancelling headset and a waterproof backpack for those scooter rides on rainy days!
Q&A On Best Places Working In Bali
Difference between working in Ubud vs Canggu
Both spots have their unique vibes and perks, so let’s dive into what makes each of them special. I guess it comes down to what you like doing after work.
Ubud: The Cultural Hub
Working in Ubud is quite relaxed; you are surrounded by nature and Balinese culture all year round.
- Community and Networking: Ubud is a hotspot for digital nomads, which means you’ll have plenty of opportunities to network and make friends. Coworking spaces like Outpost and Titi Batu are social hubs where ideas bounce around like ping-pong balls.
- Cultural Immersion: If you’re looking to balance work with some soul-enriching activities, Ubud’s got you covered. Think yoga classes, meditation retreats, and cooking lessons โ it’s all here.
Canggu: For Beach Vibes
Canggu that laid-back, surf’s-up vibe mixed with a slice of hipster coolness. It’s a lot more Westernised and not that cultural.
- The Scene: Canggu has many trendy cafes, vibrant beach bars, and an eclectic mix of restaurants. It’s where you can find digital nomads, surfers, and expats blending into a lively international community.
- Coworking Spaces: There are quite a few coworking spaces in or cafes to work from (check out more coworking spaces in Canggu here). Most of them would also organise daily activities to encourage networking.
- Lifestyle: If you thrive in a dynamic environment where there’s always something happening, from surf classes to live music nights, Canggu is your go-to.
How can I meet people in Bali to hang out after work?
Your coworking space community would be a good start. They normally have active WhatsApp groups where people suggest after-work activities.
You can also easily meet people at cafes or classes. Check out this blog post if you want to know more!
The Verdict: Which One Should You Book?
I would honestly say to go for the Outpost in Penestanan because it has them all and you are covered if you need to make a few calls during the day.
If you work for yourself and don’t really have many calls, I would recommend Titi Batu! You get to network and take some breaks during the day! I normally go to the gym or jump in the pool as soon as I finish a big chunk of work!
