Where to work from

Bali

Canggu for the surf-and-laptop archetype, Ubud for jungle and yoga — the two faces of the most photographed nomad island on earth.

Monthly cost: CHF 1'600
Median wifi: 50 Mbps
Best months: May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep

Bali resolves into two distinct nomad cities. Canggu is beach, scooters, surf at sunrise, açaí bowls, and a startup-bro density that's either energising or insufferable depending on the week. Ubud is jungle, yoga, slower mornings, more spiritual-adjacent. People split hard on Bali — some love it, others find it too curated — and it depends a lot on what you're there for. It leans hard Instagram-crowd in the popular spots, but you can also enjoy it on its own terms if you sidestep the obvious ones. Both Canggu and Ubud have grown massively in the last five years and both creak under it — Canggu traffic is bad, and "Bali belly" is a recurring background tax on the body. Trade-offs: +7h to Zurich (the hardest timezone gap on this list), Wi-Fi inconsistent outside coworking, and avoid the November–March rainy season.

Noma Collective

Noma Collective · Rotating; 2026 catalog includes Cape Town, Lisbon, Medellín, Mexico City, Chiang Mai, Bali, Tbilisi, Buenos Aires, plus the Coliving Liddes ski edition in Switzerland

Roughly monthly Editions year-round; up to 37 planned for the year per CEO statement · Roughly CHF 2,300 to 3,800 for a 4-week Edition, accommodation and coworking included

The parent brand behind both Hacker Paradise (acquired in early 2025) and the Coliving Liddes Switzerland edition. Worth listing on its own because Noma also runs its own non-HP Editions with the same baseline format: 20 to 40 person cohorts, accommodation with kitchenettes where possible, local coworking partnerships, weekly yoga, airport pickups, and a structured social calendar. If a specific city or date works for you, the Noma catalog is broader than the Hacker Paradise sub-brand.
