One of the challenges faced by digital nomads is obtaining that ideal work-life balance. How can that be? The very reason for someone to become a freelancing traveler in the first place, is to explore an alternative to traditional working cultures. However, in the pursuit of becoming independent of full-time employment contracts, one might forget how to relax. This is particularly true for new digital nomads.

If you are one of these people, a good solution is to find a coworking space. While it’s true that you can simply work at your long-stay villa without spending an additional cent, working in a coworking space has amazing benefits to your work and well-being. It might be worth your investment, and you might decide to come back again.

1. District Canggu – Restaurant, cafe and coworking space

One important element of good work-life balance is diet. Your quality of work and performance depend on your health, and that is greatly impacted by what you eat. If you love your body, then have some refreshing high-quality organic foods at District Canggu. Enjoy lightning speed internet and, while you work, munch on their selection of healthy snacks. Since District Canggu is a restaurant with a dedicated coworking space, you won’t find any accommodation or hosted activities (like surfing lessons and yoga) here. However, if you came here to work, expect healthy productivity ahead.

2. Outpost – Co-living and coworking space

Outpost is geared towards co-living and accommodations, but their coworking space is up to standard with many of Bali’s coworking spaces. Co-living guests require fast internet, community, and positive working environment, which Outpost is excellent at providing. With complete facilities, like private Skype call-rooms, meeting rooms, and even private offices, Outpost provides an increase in productivity. Hosted activities are uncommon here, but you can find communities (and befriend staff) in the hopes they’ll organise road trips.

3. Matra Bali Coliving – Stay and work in comfort

Digital nomadism doesn’t have to be uncomfortable. You don’t have to be a backpacker who boasts experience of living out of your comfort zone. In fact, if you want to be more productive and earn more money, then comfort at work is key. At Matra Bali Coliving, experience a more easy-going vibe where you can work for hours without disturbance. When you feel like calling it a day, they offer surfing activities as well. Take off the stress work by going to the beach or learning about the unique Pranava yoga.

4. Dojo Bali – Unleash your creativity

With many digital nomad gigs centered around providing creative solutions to problems fast, being stuck and having no work-flow can be daunting and outright scary for some people. Luckily the vibe at Dojo Bali can loosen that creative block, because this coworking space has a reputation. This reputation brings in hundreds of brilliant entrepreneurs every year, and the coworking space is notorious for hosting many events that revolve around networking and knowledge sharing. Many new digital nomads enjoy the benefit of convenience that Dojo Bali offers, from airport pickups and 10GB data package, to welcome surprises for those who’d like to stay with them for a few days. With excellent service and great reviews from many, it’s a highly recommended coworking space around Canggu.

You can visit these coworking spaces if you feel like meeting new people and learning something new. Of course, renting a long-term Bali villa is much cheaper than staying in accommodations offered by these places.
